Abstract: A remote control system, has a transmitter and a battery-powered receiver adapted for wirelessly receiving and processing information from the transmitter. The receiver has a receiving section adapted to be periodically switched ON and OFF in the absence of a signal intended for that receiver and to remain switched ON continuously in the presence of a signal intended for that receiver, until that signal falls away. In the presence of a signal intended for that receiver, an adjusting motor is energized for adjusting the tilting position of slats of a blind.
