Congratulations! You now have the convenience, exi-
bility and security of The Clapper Plus. No other product
allows you to control your lights and appliances by sound
and RF (Radio Frequency) remote control.

With The Clapper Plus, you can turn on or off up to two
different appliances by clapping your hands. Clap two
times to operate one appliance and three times to operate
a different appliance. In addition to clapping, you can also
turn on or off your appliances by pressing the buttons on
the remote control.

The Clapper Plus also has a special AWAY mode. In
this mode almost any noise will turn on the connected
appliance(s) which can be used as a limited function security
device to discourage potential intruders. The AWAY mode
is also great for temporarily turning on lights when entering
a dark room such as a garage or basement. In this mode
there is no need to clap or press any button -- any noise will
turn on the lights!

For QUICK INSTRUCTIONS on operating your Clapper
Plus, please refer to the yellow Quick Tips card.

5. Make sure any power switches on the appliance or lamps
are in the on position.

more important than how loudly you clap.

CLAP (pause) CLAP (pause) (pause) (pause)

where each pause is approximately ½ second long. The

three pauses after the second clap are very important since
the Clapper Plus must determine that you are not going to
clap a third time. If you did clap a third time, the appliance
connected to the III clap receptacle would activate..

Clap Sensitivity

You can adjust your Clapper Plus to respond to soft or loud
claps, as well as adjust for the noise level in your room.

By adjusting the sensitivity dial on the Clapper you can
adjust the Clapper’s sensitivity to your claps and reduce
detecting unwanted noise. Turning the dial fully counter
clockwise(# 9) is the highest sensitivity. In this position
the Clapper will detect soft claps.

As you turn the dial clockwise the sensitivity is reduced.
This give you control over the claps it will detect and help

you reduce false activation due to external noises.

Clap Detection Lights

The three red lights on the face of the Clapper Plus will
help you determine the proper way to clap your appliances
on or off. Each clap detection light will glow when a proper
clap (or similar sound) is detected.

Claps that are too soft will not be detected. Claps that are
too fast together or too long apart will be rejected as noise
and as a result the appliance will not turn on. When the
Clapper Plus detects the rst clap the rst light will glow.
The second light will glow if a second clap is detected

about ½ second after the rst clap occurs. If the Clapper

Plus does not detect a third clap, it will activate the
