configure the dip switches to:
I
Turn the IR blaster on or off (independently from the Dual IR emitters);
Configure the power levels of the Dual IR emitters, e.g.:

When you configure the Dual IR emitters in wired IR solutions using a
connecting block.
In this case, you can adjust the power levels of the Dual IR emitters.
When you use a device that interferes with IR signals, such as a plasma
TV set.
In this case, you can raise the power levels of the Dual IR emitters, since
plasma technology might cause IR interference.
When you want to operate 2 identical devices that are placed next to each
other using 2 RF Extenders.
In this case, you can lower the power levels of the Dual IR emitters, in
order to prevent the devices from receiving IR signals intended for another
device.
