Locate the IR eye of your equipment, using a flashlight to look through the
faceplate (front) to find the eye, which may look like a small circle, see examples.
Or check the equipment owners manual for the location of the remote control
window. If the eye cannot be located with confidence, complete the step of
connecting the Plug-in Power Supply. Then peel off red backing from clear tape
on one Emitter and with the equipment turned on and it's face blocked from the
hand-held remote control, do not block the HOT LINK PRO! Receiver Eye.
Holding remote a few feet from Receiver Eye, press a known function button,
moving the IR Emitter slowly across the front panel about a quarter of an inch in
front of the surface, until the equipment responds to the remote control
command. When best position is located, apply IR Emitter to front with sticky
side on equipment.
HOT LINK PRO!
Instructions
Thank you for purchasing the HOT LINK PRO! Remote Control Booster System, a supersensitive, hidden, infrared (IR)
remote control repeater. With HOT LINK PRO!, IR remote controls can operate equipment hidden in closed cabinets
and increase the useful distance of remote controls up to sixty-five feet.
Because the Receiver Eye is so sensitive, it can be located in a slot behind a cabinet door on the front or mounted on
an exposed part of the cabinet top, an exposed shelf, behind a speaker grill, behind a cabinet "looking" out into the
room or mounted in the toe-kick facing the floor. It can often work at the back of the room where equipment may be
installed. Eye Window should not be facing direct sunlight, high powered flood lamps, 12 volt halogen lamps driven
by switching type power supplies, or High-efficiency screw-in type fluorescent lamps. These items may emit too
much Low Frequency (LF) RF, too much Pulsed IR or too much ambient light. If used in conjunction with other IR
repeaters, verify they are not emitting spurious IR. Mount Eye at least one foot from your television, if possible.
The Hot Link Pro is excellent at blocking LF RF from TV sets but can sometimes receive interference from larger sets.
The Receiver eye may need to be shielded from direct view of Plasma Discharge TV screens that emit pulsed IR.
Noise activity is indicated when the Green LED glows with no remote control activity. Find source of noise and
eliminate or move Receiver Eye away from noise until LED is off. Addition of non-factory RCA extension cables may
affect performance. Extension cables are available in custom lengths to 25 feet.
