Philips TSU 7500 Operating ProntoPro NG with RF

User Guide

Using the Power Features

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).

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.
