Congratulations on the purchase of Harmony Elite
The Harmony Hub is the center of your Harmony system—always keep it
powered on!
1. The hub receives commands from the remote or mobile app. The remote
itself does not send commands directly to your devices.*
2. The hub sends commands to your audio video and home control devices
in the form of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and infrared signals (IR).
*The remote can be congured to send IR signals directly to devices. By default, it will
communicate to the hub using RF signals, as shown above.

Lets get started
STEP 1
Position the Harmony Hub
The Harmony Hub can be placed in any unobstructed location where IR
signals can be transmitted to AV equiment or it can be placed behind
closed cabinets with the IR mini blaster transmitters connected to the hub
and positioned as shown above.
Once plugged in, the hub takes approx. 30 seconds to power up.
The LED will glow red when plugged in. Once it has been
successfully paired and has joined your home network, it will
glow green (Step 3).
