Positioning the IR cable on your satellite box
The IR cable’s emitters beam channel change signals to the IR sensor on your satellite
box–just like a remote control does.
Place the emitters in front of the cable box’s IR sensor (one on top of the satellite box
and one on bottom). Be sure both emitters stick out about 1 ½ inches directly in front
of the IR sensor. Use the adhesive strips provided to keep them in place.
