The Optional PowerBlaster™
(for ‘barrier-free’ RF control) [Sold separately]
Of all the fabulous RF10 features, this is probably the most
exciting. When used in combination with the optional
PowerBlaster™, the RF10 becomes an amazing remote
control powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (Radio
Frequency) signals that pass through walls, doors and
floors – both indoors and outdoors.
This changes everything! It enables you to control
Components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100’
away. The PowerBlaster™ picks up RF10’s radio frequency
signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so RF10
doesn’t need to be pointed directly at any Component. Just
imagine – no more pointing! Now you can close your
entertainment center doors, hide your Components, and still
control them with ease. Control outdoor speakers on your
patio. Control your Components anywhere!
One of the best things about this is — nothing has to be
done to the RF10 for this feature to work. Every time you
press a button on the RF10, it sends both a standard IR
(Infrared Command) AND an RF (Radio Frequency) signal.
If you install the PowerBlaster™ kit, it will automatically
receive RF10’s radio signals and translate them into the
infrared commands that control your Components.
NOTE:The RF10's radio signals will not control Components
directly.You must have a PowerBlaster™ to receive the RF10's
radio signals. Components that came with "no pointing"
radio remote controls cannot be operated by the RF10 unless
the Component can be switched to standard IR (Infrared
Control) via its internal menus. Some remote control ceiling
fans are radio only and cannot be operated by the RF10.
The RF10 sends radio signal to the PowerBlaster™, which is a
radio receiver.
The PowerBlaster™ converts radio signals to standard
infrared commands and sends them out via a built-in front
blaster to Components in the same cabinet space.
Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in the PowerBlaster™
kit) affix to the front panels of your Components. The flash-
ers relay infrared commands to Components out-of-sight of
the PowerBlaster’s front blaster. The flashers plug into
PowerBlaster’s rear flasher line output jacks. Each flasher
has a 10’ cable to easily reach Components on nearby
shelves.
