7.2 Setting Up the Remote Control
The remote control uses an IR signal to com-
mand the receiver. The IR signal must be
converted to RF by attaching the remote con-
trol extender to the front of the remote. The
IDU then receives the RF signal, converts it
back to IR, and sends it to the receiver using
the IR sensor cable. The 7ft IR sensor cable
is attached to the IDU and has a small IR eye
at the end. The IR eye must be adhered to the
top of the satellite receiver (Figure 7-3). This
setup will allow the user to change channels
with the remote pointed anywhere within the
vehicle.
