[. . . ] To get optimal results, it is recommended to place the RF Receiver horizontally with the IR blaster facing up or down. Minimum distance: 4 inches (10 cm) Figure 2: IR blaster facing up Figure 2 represents the RF Receiver with the IR blaster facing up. The RF Receiver can be placed at a distance and higher than your devices. Make sure there are no objects between the RF Receiver and the receiving eyes of the devices. Figure 1: IR blaster facing down Figure 1 represents the RF Receiver mounted up side down inside a closet. Always maintain a minimum distance of 4 inches (10 cm) between the RF Receiver and your devices. 5 Installation Mounting The RF Receiver can be mounted to a piece of furniture using the included mounting plate and the 4 screws. Take into account the range and the working angle of the IR blaster as explained on p. Also make sure to place the RF Receiver in a central position aimed directly at your devices. Note: It is adviced not to place the RF Receiver inside a metal closet as RF signals can be disturbed by metal objects. Using the IR Emitters Like the IR blaster of the RF Receiver, the IR emitters send out IR signals. You can use the IR emitters as an alternative for the IR blaster. Note: It is adviced not to place the RF Receiver inside a metal closet as RF signals can be disturbed by metal objects. When to use the emitters The IR emitters can control devices the IR blaster cannot reach, for instance when there is limited space around the receiving eyes of the devices, e. g. in a small closet. 1 Remove the mounting plate from the bottom of the RF Receiver. Screw the plate to a rack, closet or another piece of furniture. Provide sufficient space to connect the power adapter and to slide the RF Receiver back on. Note: Depending on the surface, it may be possible to attach the RF Receiver to the furniture using a piece of 2-sided tape. Look for the right position and make sure there is sufficient space.
