Installation

Settings

As the RF Extender ‘communicates’ with the Pronto Remote Control, you have to
set the same 

Extender ID

(identity) on both appliances. The settings depend on

whether you have a single RF Extender or multiple RF Extenders.

Single RF Extender

When you use only one RF Extender, you can accept the default setting for the
Extender ID (ID=0). Make sure your Pronto Remote Control is set to the same
default setting (see the Pronto User Guide for more details).

Multiple RF Extenders

If you want to operate several of your devices independently, e.g. grouped on
different locations, you will need multiple RF Extenders. When using several 
RF Extenders, it is important to assign a unique Extender ID to each RF Extender.
16 Extender IDs (from 0 to 9 and from A to F) can be assigned.

1 Choose an Extender ID for the RF Extender by turning 

the ID dial with a small screwdriver.

2 On the Pronto Remote Control, choose the 

same Extender ID for each device controlled 
by the RF Extender.

Refer to the Pronto User Guide for more 
information.

3 Try to operate your devices with the Pronto Remote Control.

The red LED will blink when the RF Extender receives a correct command.

4 Repeat this procedure for every RF Extender.

RF Interference

If your devices are not responding to commands or if the red LED on the IR blaster
is blinking without sending commands, it might be possible that there is RF
interference. This can be the case when other RF appliances are operated nearby,
for instance at your neighbours.

When you notice RF interference, you have to choose another channel on your 
RF Extender. 4 channels (CH from 0 to 3) can be assigned.

1 Choose a channel for the RF Extender by turning the CH dial with a

small screwdriver.

2 On the Pronto Remote Control, choose the same channel for the

devices controlled by the RF Extender.

Refer to the Pronto guide for more information.

3 Try to operate your devices with the Remote Control.
