3. HOW DOES IT WORK?
HD RECORDER
SET-TOP BOX
SATELLITE
AUDIO SET
WALL
IR TRANSMITTER
IR RECEIVER
Point your remote control at the Powermid 300 XTRA™ IR Receiver. The IR Receiver receives
these infrared signals, converts them into RF signals and sends them onto the Powermid 300
XTRA™ IR Transmitter. The IR Transmitter then converts these back into infrared signals and
sends them to your HDD-recorder, set-top box, satellite decoder, audio set, etc.
4. INSTALLATION
4.1 IR Receiver
1. Place the IR Receiver in the room/area from which you wish to operate your equipment.
2. Point the front of the IR Receiver towards the point at which you want to use the remote
control (maximum 6 metres).
3. The IR Receiver is dual power:
a. with batteries (included)
Insert 2 pieces ‘AAA’ size ALKALINE batteries into the battery compartment with
correct polarity. Note: Remove the batteries when they are empty or if you are not
using the device for a longer period.
b. With micro USB cable (not included)
Connect the micro USB cable to the IR Receiver.
4.2 IR Transmitter
4. Place the IR Transmitter in the room/area in which the A/V equipment you wish to operate
is located.
5. Point the front of the IR Transmitter towards the equipment you wish to operate.
6. Connect the USB Power Adapter to the IR Transmitter and insert this into the socket.
4.3 Range between Transmitter and Receiver depends on:
• The number of floors and walls through which the signal has to travel and the materials used.
• Other 433 MHz sources such as wireless headphones or wireless speakers can significantly
limit the range of the Powermid 300 XTRA™. The best result is obtained if these sources
are switched off when using the Powermid 300 XTRA™. The Powermid 300 XTRA™ works
fine with wireless telephones.

• Some satellite receivers must be placed closer to the Powermid 300 XTRA™ as a result
of the effect the two devices have on one another. Try the Transmitter at a range of
locations in order to obtain the best range.
5. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• In a few cases, the Receiver may be disrupted by interference and cannot, therefore, pick
up the signals it receives. If this is the case the red light will be continuously illuminated
and the Receiver must be relocated. This interference is caused by equipment in the
vicinity such as dimmers, energy-saving light bulbs, IR alarms and so on. Direct sunlight
can also disrupt the Receiver.
• Powermid 300 XTRA does not work with remote controls which use High Frequency
signals (such as B&O)
