Operating ProntoPro NG with RF

By default, ProntoPro NG uses infrared (IR) signals to operate devices. IR signals have an operating distance of approximately 33 ft (10 m).

IR signals

However, you can choose to have ProntoPro NG working with radio frequency (RF) signals to operate devices from a distance or from an adjacent room.

An RF Extender (not included) is therefore required.

The RF Extender receives RF signals from ProntoPro NG and converts them into IR signals, sent out to the device. Therefore, the RF Extender has to be placed near the device you are operating with the RF Extender’s sending eye pointed towards the device.
