User manual X10 HR12A - SUPPLEMENTARY GUIDE

The HR12A PalmPad Remote Control sends Wireless Radio Frequency (RF) signals to the X10 Transceiver (RR501). The Transceiver then passes the signals onto your house wiring to control lights or appliances around your home. You plug lights and appliances into X10 Modules (sold separately). The PalmPad also works with the CM11A Two-Way Computer Interface to initiate macros (routines) so you can set up a "coming home" routine which is initiated when you press a button on the PalmPad. 1. Install 4 AAA alkaline batteries (sold separately) in the PalmPad's battery compartment. 2. Use a dime to set the Housecode dial to match the Transceiver and X10 Modules you want to control. 3. Plug the X10 Transceiver (RR501) into any convenient AC outlet. 4. Plug a lamp or appliance into the Transceiver. 5. Set the Transceiver's slide switch to 1 or 9 (its code). 6. Set the PalmPad's slide switch to 1-8 to control X10 Modules set to Unit Codes 1-8. 7. Set the slide switch to 9-16 to control X10 Modules set to 9-16. 8. Press the corresponding ON or OFF button to turn X10 Modules on and off. 9. To brighten or dim lights connected to X10 Lamp Modules and Wall Switch Modules (sold separately), first press the corresponding number button, then press the UP or DOWN (blue) buttons. Troubleshooting If the Transceiver doesn't respond to the Remote: · Check that the red light on the Remote comes on when you press a button. Replace batteries if necessary. Use four AAA alkaline batteries. · Check the Housecode on the Transceiver is set to `A.' If you have changed the Housecode on the Remote, check that it matches the Housecode on the Transceiver. · Check the setting of the 1-9 switch on the Transceiver. This sets the code that the Transceiver responds to. Note that the Transceiver passes all 16 codes on to other X10 Modules regardless of this switch setting. · Press the ON/OFF button on the front of the Transceiver to confirm it operates the lamp/appliance connected to it. If the Transceiver works, but other X10 Modules don't respond: · Check that the Module has the same Housecode as the Transceiver. · Try plugging the Module into a different outlet. Intercom systems Intercom systems which send voice signals over existing electrical wiring may interfere with the operation of the Transceiver when the intercom is in use. If the Intercom system has its own separate wiring it will not cause a problem. FCC CAUTION: THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES.
