Note
The effective distance between your remote control (it is best to use new alkaline batteries) and
the Control Anywhere receiver is up to 10 to 25 metres, depending on the local circumstances.
Using the Infra red Extender
When you cannot place the Control Anywhere receiver within sight of your device (e.g. because
your device is located in a close cupboard), it is possible to place the Control Anywhere module
closer to your appliance, and to use the infrared extender supplied.
Connect the extender to the back of the Control Anywhere module and stick the infrared trans-
mitters (black blocks with stickers) of the extender to the infrared eyes of the appliance. It is advi-
sable to check the connection before you finally attach the transmitters. Walk around with your
Marmitek remote control until you are out of sight of the device and change the channel. Check
this with two people: one person stays with the device to see if the remote control is working and
the other person controls the remote. If the video recorder or satellite receiver does not respond,
this can indicate the transmitters are not placed in the right location. Some devices require very
precise placement of the transmitters.
You can use the second and third infrared transmitters to operate a second or third device. Never
remove these, even if you are not using them! Local circumstances can also affect the effectiveness
