2 Care From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solu- tion of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical sol- vents or cloths since these could damage the fin- ish or remove the panel lettering. FCC Information for User CAUTION: The user changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compli- ance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital de- vice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protec- tion against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not in- stalled and used in accordance with the instruc- tions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular in- stallation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip- ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the fol- lowing measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equip- ment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the re- ceiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help. NOTE: If serial or parallel ports are configured, a fil- tered/shielded serial or parallel cable is recom- mended to minimize EMI and ensure FCC B compliance. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: Precautions (1) This device may not cause harmful interfer- ence, and (2) this device must accept any inter- ference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly ap- proved by the party responsible for compliance void the users authority to operate the equip- ment. For Canadian models NOTE: THIS CLASS B DIGITAL APPA- RATUS COMPLIES WITH CANADIAN ICES- 003.

3 Introduction About the RFR-5 Most remote controller systems have to be operated by pointing the remote controller directly towards a device. Any obstacle between the remote controller and the device disturbs the operating signal. But what if you like to place your devices inside a closed cabinet, a closet or even in another room? The RFR-5 provides the solution to overcome obstacles like furniture or walls. Your devices no longer have to be placed in line of sight but can be operated from virtually any location. The RFR-5 is a RF Receiver that is used in combination with the Chad Remote Controller. The RF Receiver receives radio frequency (RF) signals sent out by the Chad and converts them into infrared (IR) signals. These IR signals are then sent out to your TV, DVD, preamplifier and so on.

5 Installation The following components should be present: RF Receiver, power adapter, 3 IR emitters, Mono cable and 4 screws. Before you install the RF Receiver, you should decide which of the set-ups described on p. 2 apply to your needs. It is recommended to read through the entire User Guide. Working Angle and Range of the IR blaster Note: The IR signals sent out by the RF Receiver always have to be able to reach the receiving eyes of your devices. Make sure that the IR blaster (dark plastic window on top of the RF Receiver) is aimed at your devices. To get optimal results, it is recommended to place the RF Receiver horizontally with the IR blaster facing up or down. Figure 1 represents the RF Receiver mounted up side down inside a closet. Always maintain a minimum distance of 4 inches (10 cm) between the RF Receiver and your devices. Figure 1: IR blaster facing downMinimum distance: 4 inches (10 cm) Figure 2 represents the RF Receiver with the IR blaster facing up. The RF Receiver can be placed at a distance and higher than your devices. Make sure there are no objects between the RF Receiver and the receiving eyes of the devices. Maximum distance: 16 feet (5 m) Figure 2: IR blaster facing up
