Position the Harmony Express blaster and mini-blaster
The blaster receives commands from the remote and then sends the commands
to your entertainment devices in the form of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and IR (infrared)
signals*.
Once plugged in, the blaster takes approx. 30 seconds to power up. The LED will
glow red when plugged in.
Use your mini-blaster to extend the range of the blaster. The mini-blaster can be
placed where the blaster can’t reach (for example, inside of a closed cabinet).
Connect your mini-blaster to the jack behind the blaster.
*Harmony Express needs the blaster to send and receive IR commands.
The Harmony Express remote cannot be used without the blaster set-up.

7
The blaster should be placed in an area where nothing is blocking its line of sight
to your entertainment devices. If placed behind a closed cabinet door, you can use
the mini-blaster to extend the blaster’s coverage as shown in the example image.
Charge your remote
Plug in the USB cable to a wall adapter or any USB port and connect the other
end to the remote’s charging port. Keep the remote in charging mode until the
setup is complete. The remote should be in the same room as your blaster to
optimize communication between the remote and the blaster.
When the remote is in charging mode, the LED will turn white and pulse slowly.

Charge your remote when you see the low battery warning.
To stop Harmony Express from going out of sync with your devices:
–Do not use old remotes for your devices.
–Do not manually power on or o your devices.
TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Tips:
–Always keep the blaster powered on using your ac adapter.
–If the light around the voice button is blinking red charge your remote.
–Using original remotes and or manually turning devices on and o can cause
the Harmony Express to be out of sync. We recommend to only use the
Harmony Express for everyday use.
–As the blasters and mini blasters can shift out of place, it is important to
make sure they are put back in the original position.
