device. It can also receive Data Dictionary RS232 commands and transmit them via RF back to the  
XTR39 allowing for real-time feedback on the XTR39 display for volume feedback and device status.

directly over the IR eye on the source component to be controlled.  
Step 2. Plug the RS232 Adapter Cable into the RF2IR2W port labeled RS232. Next, connect the DB9

Locating the RF2IR2W  
Thanks to Xantech’s superior antenna design, the RF2IR2W can be placed in several locations.  
Key Location Points:  
The RF2IR2W should be placed on a flat, stable surface.  
For optimal performance, the RF2IR2W should be placed at a height greater than 3 feet above the  
floor. The ideal height should be level to the XTR39 transmitter.  
Avoid placing the RF2IR2W near corners of a room.  
Avoid placing the RF2IR2W next to microwave ovens.  
Using a lower Channel Address will provide the best performance.  
Care and Maintenance  
Clean the outside of the plastic housing using a soft cloth. Use warm water and mild soap solution.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
