USER’S GUIDE

t’s simple to pair your XFINITY Remote with the Aim Anywhere Adapter.
Your XFINITY Remote can be paired with the Aim Anywhere Adapter (also known as the XR8) allowing you to control your set-top box even when the device is placed out of line-of-sight (for example, in an entertainment center or behind your TV). XFINITY Remotes can be identi fi ed by an XR model number on the back of the remote.
See the “Compatible Devices” section on the back of this user guide to verify that your set-top box and remote are compatible with the adapter.
To pair your XFINITY Remote with the
Aim Anywhere Adapter, follow the steps below.
HERE’S HOW:
1. Turn on your TV and set-top box.
2. Plug the Aim Anywhere Adapter into the IR Input port* located on the back panel of your set-top box.
*Note: This port may also be labeled
IR Input, IR Receive, or EXT IR IN.
3. Wait 3-5 seconds for the solid red
LED on top of the adapter to turn o ff .
4. Press and release the PAIR button on the back of the adapter. The LED on top of the adapter will turn on when the PAIR button is pressed.
5. Press and hold the Setup button on your XFINITY Remote until the remote’s LED changes from red to green. Then, press and release the
XFINITY button.
6. If the LED on the XFINITY Remote blinks green twice, pairing was successful. Press CH ^ to verify that your set-top box responds as expected.
7. If the LED on your XFINITY Remote blinks red, then green, and then red, pairing was unsuccessful. Check the “Compatible Devices” section to verify that your set-top box supports the Aim Anywhere Adapter.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE AIM ANYWHERE ADAPTER
Q : Can I pair more than one
XFINITY Remote with the XR8 adapter?
A : Yes, the XR8 supports pairing with up to fi ve XFINITY Remotes per set-top box.
Q : Why can’t I use my other remotes after pairing my XFINITY
Remote with the XR8 adapter?
A : Some set-top boxes only support
XFINITY Remotes when using the XR8. You can replace your old remote with another XFINITY
Remote and pair it with the
XR8.
Q : During pairing, why does the
LED blink red and then green on the XFINITY Remote?
A : Either a button other than the
XFINITY button was pressed, or the XFINITY Remote timed out before the XFINITY button was pressed. Repeat the pairing steps.
Q : During pairing, why does the
LED blink red, then green, then red on the XFINITY Remote?
A : The XFINITY Remote you are trying to pair cannot fi nd the

XFINITY Remote. Be sure to press the PAIR button on the XR8 before you press the XFINITY button on your XFINITY Remote.

Remote.
Q : Why is the XR8 adapter not responding to button presses from my XFINITY Remote?
