Sy ste m Co n te n ts
Your D940 Remote Control Signal Sender consists of two units
(Extension Unit and Base Unit) and an infrared extender.
Extension Unit
The Extension Unit senses the Infrared signals
from your remote control and an LED lights
to indicate that signals are being detected.
The Extension Unit converts the remote con-
trol signals into radio frequency transmissions
for communication with the Base Unit.
Base Unit
The Base Unit has an antenna, power cord,
and a jack for the Infrared Extender. The Base
Unit receives Radio Frequency (RF) transmis-
sions from the Extension Unit. A light indi-
cates that a signal is being received. The Base
Unit then converts the RF transmissions back
into Infrared signals used to control your
®
DSS Receiver. The Base Unit will operate up
to 100 feet away from the Extension Unit.
Infrared Extender
This device consists of an Infrared Diode
connected to a 4 ft. extension wire and plug.
It plugs into the Base Unit for situations
where placement in front of the instrument
is difficult.
