The Optional PowerBlaster™

(for ‘barrier-free’ RF control) [Sold separately]

Of all the fabulous RF10 features, this is probably the most exciting. When used in combination with the optional PowerBlaster™, the RF10 becomes an amazing remote control powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (Radio Frequency) signals that pass through walls, doors and floors – both indoors and outdoors.

This changes everything! It enables you to control Components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100’ away. The PowerBlaster™ picks up RF10’s radio frequency signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so RF10 doesn’t need to be pointed directly at any Component. Just imagine – no more pointing! Now you can close your entertainment center doors, hide your Components, and still control them with ease. Control outdoor speakers on your patio. Control your Components anywhere!

One of the best things about this is — nothing has to be done to the RF10 for this feature to work. Every time you press a button on the RF10, it sends both a standard IR (Infrared Command) AND an RF (Radio Frequency) signal. If you install the PowerBlaster™ kit, it will automatically receive RF10’s radio signals and translate them into the infrared commands that control your Components.

NOTE:The RF10's radio signals will not control Components directly.You must have a PowerBlaster™ to receive the RF10's radio signals. Components that came with "no pointing" radio remote controls cannot be operated by the RF10 unless the Component can be switched to standard IR (Infrared Control) via its internal menus. Some remote control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by the RF10.

The RF10 sends radio signal to the PowerBlaster™, which is a radio receiver.

The PowerBlaster™ converts radio signals to standard infrared commands and sends them out via a built-in front blaster to Components in the same cabinet space.

Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in the PowerBlaster™ kit) affix to the front panels of your Components. The flash- ers relay infrared commands to Components out-of-sight of the PowerBlaster’s front blaster. The flashers plug into PowerBlaster’s rear flasher line output jacks. Each flasher has a 10’ cable to easily reach Components on nearby shelves.
