[. . . ] 4 Try out other positions moving the Receiver unit around, and check the LED for RF interference. If the LED does not blink, or blinks only sporadically, mount the Receiver unit in that place, and continue with step 7. If the LED still blinks, continue with the next step. Tip Do not position the Receiver unit: Near audio/video devices, since these devices may cause RF interference. In particular, keep the Receiver unit away from optical audio/video devices, such as a DVD player. near microwave ovens or wireless access points. Inside a metal closet, since metal objects can disturb RF signals. Retracting in the antenna will cause the Receiver unit to be less sensitive to interference. 6 Try out other positions moving the Receiver unit around, and check the LED for RF interference. If the LED does not blink, or blinks only sporadically, mount the Receiver unit in that place. When sending commands with the Pronto Remote Control, the LEDs of both the Receiver unit and the Blaster unit should blink. 8 If necessary, aim the antenna in the direction where the Pronto Remote Control will be used, to improve the performance in that direction. Once you have found the best position you can optionally mount the Receiver unit onto a piece of furniture using 2 screws. Depending on the surface, it may be possible to attach the Receiver unit to the furniture using a piece of 2-sided tape or velcro. Find the right position and make sure there is sufficient space. When the cable for connecting the Receiver unit and the Blaster unit is too short, you can use a longer cable (see How to Use a Longer Connection Cable p. The RF Extender can be used in several situations as illustrated in the picture on p. 4: out of sight, in an adjacent room, or inside a closet. Since the RF Extender `communicates' with the Pronto Remote Control, you must set the same Extender ID (identity) on both appliances. The settings depend on whether you have a single RF Extender or multiple RF Extenders. When you use only one RF Extender, you can accept the default setting for the Extender ID (ID=0). On the Pronto Remote Control, choose the same Extender ID for each device controlled by the RF Extender. [. . . ] The emission is never completely turned off.
