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.
