0perating Precautions (continued)• NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found tocomply with the limits for remote control securitydevices in accordance with the specifications in subparts C and E of part 15 of FCC rules. These limits aredesigned to provide reasonable protection againstharmful interference in a residential installation. Thisequipment generates, uses and can radiate radiofrequency energy and, if not installed and used inaccordance with the instructions, may cause harmfulinterference to radio communications. However, there isno guarantee that Radio Frequency Energy does causeharmful interference to radio or television reception,which can be determined by turning the equipment offand on.We recommend the following steps to correct signaltransmission problems:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the equipment and theReceiver.• If the Receiver and the component that is being operatedare plugged into the same electrical outlet, plug theReceiver into a different outlet.Call Terk Tech Support 1- 800-942-TERK (8375) with anyproduct or application questions.LF-IRX3System ContentsYour TERK LF-IRX Remote Control Extender consists of two units (Transmitter(TX) Receiver (RX)), a triple infraredextension, and two AC adapters.Transmitter (TX): The Transmitter converts the infraredsignals from your remote control into long-range RFsignals that are sent to the Receiver. The LED lampindicates that incoming signals are being detected. The unit contains an antenna and power cord.Receiver (RX): The Receiver converts the RF signals fromthe Transmitter back to the infrared signals used to controlyour components. The unit contains an antenna, powercord, and a jack for the Infrared Extension. The LED lightindicates that a signal is being received. The Receiver Unitcan be placed up to 100 feet away from the Transmitter Unit.Infrared Extension: The Infrared Extension can be used insituations where the Receiver can not be placed in front ofthe component(s) it is controlling. This device consists of 3Infrared diodes connected to a 4 ft. extension wire and plug.It can be placed on up to 3 different components. 4The LF-IRX can control virtually any household devicethat is operated via infrared remote control, including:• Satellite Receivers• Personal Video Recorders (TiVo, UltimateTV) • Cable Converter Boxes• VCRs• CD Players • Stereo Receivers• Tape Decks• DVD Players• TV SetsCompatible Components
STEP 2: Setting Up the ReceiverWhere to Use: Use in the room where the AUDIO/VIDEOequipment’s infrared sensor is located.How to Install:1. Plug the Receiver power cord into a standard electrical outlet.2. Point the IR logo on the Receiver toward theAUDIO/VIDEO infrared remote sensor on the audio/video component.3. Check to ensure that the Receiver is located within 20 feet of the AUDIO/VIDEO equipment. After setting up your Transmitter and Receiver, operate the Signal Sender by aiming your remote at the IR logo on the front of the Transmitter. LF-IRX6STEP 1: Setting Up the TransmitterWhere to Use: Set up the Transmitter in the room whereyou wish to use your remote control (example: use in theadditional room wired to receive a satellite signal fromyour primary receiver).How to Install:1. Plug the Transmitter into a standard electrical outlet. 2. Place the Transmitter on a level, stable surface, with the IR logo facing you. In most cases, the unit can be placed up to 18 feet from where you will be using the remote control.3. Place the Transmitter away from the AUDIO/VIDEO equipment and the Receiver (in another room, for example).LF-IRX5
LF-IRX8STEP 3 (IF NECESSARY): Setting Up the Infrared ExtenderWhere to Use:• It is only necessary to use the Infrared Extender whenthe Receiver cannot be easily placed in front of theequipment. (Example: when the component and Receiverare located in a closed cabinet (see figure 1).• Use when you would prefer to conceal the Receiver in acabinet or behind furniture.How to Use:1. Plug the Triple Infrared Extender into the back of theReceiver (see figure 2).2. Place one of the Infrared Diodes (located on theopposite end of the extension cord) in clear view of thecomponent’s infrared sensor to enable successfulsignal transmission. You can control up to 3 differentcomponents with the triple extender.LF-IRX7
5. Move the Unit that appears not to be working to anotherlocation and try it again.6. Attach the Infrared Extender to the Receiver forsituations where there is an obstruction (TV Cabinet,etc.) between the Receiver and the componentNotice: Any change or modifications not expresslyapproved by the party responsible for compliance couldvoid the user’s authority to operate this equipment.LF-IRX10Troubleshooting:1. Make sure both units are plugged into a standardelectrical outlet.2. If the LED light inside the Transmitter does notilluminate when the Remote Control is operated:• Make sure you are pointing at the front of theTransmitter (the IR logo is on the front).• Make sure you are within 18 feet of the front of theTransmitter (depending on the range of yourindividual remote control, it may be necessary tomove closer to the Transmitter).• Make sure nothing is blocking the path between theremote and the Transmitter.3. If your component does not respond when a remotecontrol is used, but the LED on the Receiver is lit:• Make sure the Receiver is within 20 feet of yourcomponent equipment• Make sure the IR logo on your Receiver is pointing atthe front of your component.• Make sure there is a clear path between the Receiverand your component.4. If the LED light on the Transmitter lights when youoperate the remote, but the LED on the Receiver doesnot:• Extend the antenna all the way up or move theantenna to a different position for better reception. • Make sure the Transmitter is no more than 100 feetfrom the Receiver.
