SAVANT REMOTE 

AND

 BLASTER USER GUIDE

15

4. 

Position a Savant Blaster next to any entertainment device you want to control with your Savant 
Remote that is not in a direct line of sight with the Remote Base.

 

–

The Remote Base communicates over Bluetooth with the Blaster, which issues IR commands 
to the device.

 

–

To support Bluetooth communications, each Blaster must be within 30 feet of the Remote 
Base.

 

–

A single Blaster can communicate with multiple entertainment devices as long as they are 
close by and not blocked from line of sight to the Blaster.

5. 

Follow the instructions in the 

Savant App, Host, and Lamp Control User Guide

 to add your 

Savant Remote and other devices to your Savant Home. The Savant App also enables you to 
pair Blasters with specific entertainment devices.
