USER’S GUIDE
Page 2
The Single-Switch Single-Appliance Unit is a user friendly environmental
control unit. This device allows the user to operate any AC powered appliance
(maximum 500 watts per unit) from a distance of up to 50 feet. It will provide
a 120 V.A.C. output when an individual-operated switch is activated. It has
two modes of operation Momentary: Device will turn on with sustained
activation of your switch. Once the switch is released, the device will
immediately turn off or Latch: the control turns on the appliance until the
switch is activated again, this turns off the appliance. Suggested uses include
fans, radios, lamps, blenders, etc. (It is advisable not to use this device with
TVs/VCRs, stereo systems, or toasters—their internal power sources interact
badly with these environmental control units.)
Installation and operating instructions:
1. Set the frequency code on the white receiver to the letter “A”, which is
located on the front of the unit.
2. Insert two “AA” alkaline batteries in the transmitter’s battery
compartment. Use alkaline batteries only (e.g. Duracell or Energizer
brand). Do not use rechargeable batteries or any other type of batteries
because they supply lower voltage and the unit will not perform properly.
Never mix old and new batteries together or different brands or types
together.
2 Plug your capability switch into the jack on the transmitter.
3. Check that the power switch on your appliance is “On”, and plug the
appliance into the receiver module.
4. Plug the receiver module into any (unswitched) AC wall outlet and raise
the antenna. (Note: the range of the remote module can be decreased by
simply lowering the antenna.)
5. Activate the remote transmitter unit using your capability switch.

Please Note: these operations will be accompanied by a small audible “click”
produced from the receiver module. This in normal
Troubleshooting:
Problem: The receiver module doesn’t “click” when the switch on the

the same.
Action #2: Replace the batteries in the transmitter module.
Action # 3: Raise the antenna on receiver to fully extended length.
Problem: The appliance doesn’t turn on when the switch on the transmitter
module is activated.
Action #1: Check to see if the appliance’s power switch is set to the “On”
