You can use the extension cable toconnect the booster and the
end is pluggedtothe IR-OUT port of theIR device. You have
toreferthe instruction manual ofyourIR device to surethe
TRIGGERsourcepin for the cable plugcentertobePOSITIVE.
Also, the input level from the sourceisbetween3~6V. If the
connectioniscorrect,boosterwill workwith yourIRdevice
synchronously. In thiscase,the gooseneckadaptor will not be
requiredfor installation. Beforeconnection,theboosterwill be
requiredtochangethe triggersourceforthe SLAVE/ CABLE

press theBAT-CHECK toproveyourboosterisworkingfine.Then,check the IR sensor if it isplugged
intothe IR-INport.Ifit was evertheslaveboosterbefore,youneedtocheck if the triggersource
