MRF-260BASE STATION

5.Observe the Status LED of the MRF-260. If it is glowing or flick- ering you must relocate the MRF-260 to a location where the LED doesn’t flicker.

If your installation location simply doesn’t offer you any choice and you are detecting interference everywhere you place the MRF-260, you have two last resort options:

a.Remove the MRF-260’s antenna. This will reduce the range enormously, but may still be enough for this client.

b.Admit defeat and install the two piece MRF-350 base station, which can have the RF Antenna module remote- ly located (even in another part of the house).

7.Once you have found a location that is absolutely free of RFI with everything on, test to see if the range is ade-

quate and that macro reliability is perfect. Start with the antenna angle set to 45 degrees and posi-

tioned so that the long side of the antenna is fac-	45°
ing the customer’s favorite seating position.

When testing, set both the remote and the MRF-260 to the same valid RF ID#. Keep in mind that zero (0) is not a valid RF ID#. Watch the Status LED on MRF-260 - it should light every time you press a button on the remote. This confirms that the signal was received and understood perfectly. If you repeat any button press multiple times and the Status LED lights correctly every time, you have no interference and a very reliable installation. If some of the presses do not light the Status LED, you still have some RFI. Your best strategy is return to step 3 and try to find a better location for the MRF-260.

8.Now that the location is fixed, connect each of the emitters to the appropriate IR output and run the cable to the appropriate component. Do not attach the emitters to the front panel yet!

Utilize the included preprinted labels to identify which emitter goes to which component. If you’d like to make your own, the slots for the labels have been sized at 12mm to enable a Brother P-Touch 12mm label to fit perfectly.

NOTE: TiVo, Replay TV, other DVRs, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxes are all extremely sensitive to IR overload or saturation. For this reason, it is recommended that you always connect the IR flashers for these types of component to the Variable IR Outputs of the MRF-260.
