Once upon a time in the USA we had some local support, no longer do we have many local stores here.
Thanks.

Do you have a B&o approved IR flasher connected to the V1 and taped on the front of the Genie?
Use a flashlight on the front of the Genie to see the location of the IR receiver. You may have the flasher in the wrong location. The range of the flasher is very short.
Hi peria,
The range of the original B&O IR flasher diodes is quite short (sometimes just a few cm). I've managed to obtain some diodes that give up to 1 metre of optical range, so if you have trouble getting the B&O ones to work, then these may help:-

I am assuming that the IR receiver on the Genie is on the left hand side?
Thanks all for your suggestions. I will try these, and if necessary order the IR blasters from Steve.
