CONSIDERA ONSIDERATIONS S AFETY C ONSIDERATIONS Remember to exercise good common sense when using the Home Automation features of your SuperRemote - especially when controlling unattended devices. There can be some unexpected consequences if not used with care. For example, an empty coffee pot can be remotely turned on. If that should happen, your coffee pot could be damaged from overheating. If an electric heater is turned on by remote control while clothing is draped over it, a fire could result. DO NOT USE the remote for the control of high power heating appliances such as portable heaters. Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble any part of the Home Automation System's plug-in Modules or Controllers. No userserviceable parts are inside. If you spill liquid on a unit, disconnect the unit from the AC outlet to prevent possible fire or shock hazard and consult authorized service personnel. Powerline operated equipment or accessories connected to any of these units should bear the UL listing or CSA certification mark and should not have been modified in any way that might defeat their safety features. Warning: To prevent electric shock hazard, do not expose any part of the Home Automation System to rain or moisture CAUTION FCC C AUTION THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES.

YOUR T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G ............................. 2 2 W A R R A N T Y ....................................... 2 3 4 5 GETTING ST RTED G ETTING S TA RTED Because we know that you are eager to get started, we've kept this introduction as short as possible, but it contains very valuable information, so you should read through it very carefully. CODES H OUSE C ODES AND UNIT CODES U NIT C ODES UNIT CODE DIAL C ONTROLLERS MODULES AND M ODULES The first thing you need to understand is that there are two different devices you need to control your house; Controllers and Modules. Any light or appliance that you want to control is plugged into a Module and that Module is then plugged into a standard AC outlet. Modules receive commands from Controllers. Examples include the Lamp Module (sold separately). The Transceiver Module (also sold separately) is another example (although it also doubles as a controller as described later). Controllers are also plugged into standard wall outlets and send commands to Modules over your existing electrical wiring in your house without affecting your electricity in any way. The Transceiver Module works as a controller when it is used with a remote control such as the SuperRemote. When the Transceiver Module receives a command from a remote it sends digital signals over your existing house wiring to a Module which receives the signals and executes the command. The remote uses radio frequency (RF) signals to send commands to the Transceiver module. RF signals can go right through walls, so you can use the remotes to control lights or appliances from anywhere in your home. 6 HOUSE CODE DIAL Each Module has a specific address made up of a House Code (red dial on the face of the Module) and a Unit Code (black dial on the face of the Module). The Controller first sends an address and then a command on the AC power lines. Only the Module with a matching address will execute the command. If more than one Module has the same address, both Modules will execute the command. Addresses are set on the Module by turning the two dials on the front of the Module to the desired letter and number (using a small screwdriver or a coin). The House Code is selected from the letters A through P, and the Unit Code is selected from the numbers 1 through 16. 7 INST NSTALLING I NSTALLING THE C OMPONENTS MODULE T RANSCEIVER M ODULE The Transceiver Module (sold separately) receives radio frequency (RF) commands from the SuperRemote to operate a lamp or appliance plugged into it. The Transceiver Module also passes on commands over your house wiring to control other X10 modules (also sold separately). Note that unlike the Lamp Module you cannot dim or brighten a lamp connected to the Transceiver Module. You should locate the Transceiver Module centrally in the home for maximum range when controlled by the SuperRemote. 1 . Set the House Code to `A.' 1 . Set the House Code to `A' and the Unit Code to `2.' 2 . Plug a lamp into the Lamp Module. 3 . Plug the Lamp Module into a convenient AC outlet. SUPER X10 DVD S UPER R EMOTE The X10 DVD SuperRemote allows you to control practically everything electrical in your home. It has IR technology that lets you control all your TV, VCR, Cable Box, Satellite equipment, DVD Player; and X10 RF technology that lets you control lamps and appliances anywhere in your home. To find out more about configuring the SuperRemote to work with your audio/ video equipment, see the section titled "Setting Up your SuperRemote." 1 . Push the tab and lift off the battery cover. 2 . Plug a lamp or appliance into the Transceiver Module. 3 . Plug the Transceiver Module into a convenient AC outlet. Fully extend the antenna. MODULE L AMP M ODULE The Lamp Module (sold separately) can be used to control any incandescent lamp rated up to 300W. It is not suitable for other types of lamp such as fluorescent or energy saving lamps, or lamps which include a dimmer control. Caution: Do not connect an appliance such as a coffee pot or heater to the Lamp Module. It may damage the module and the appliance and could cause a fire hazard. 8 2 .
