The HA09 Handy Remote Controller is a Z-Wave™ enabled device

Z-Wave™ Introduction

and is fully compatible with any Home Settings network and any Z­Wave™ enabled network. Z-Wave™ enabled devices displaying the
Z-Wave™ logo can also be used with Home Settings modules and
controllers regardless of the manufacturer, and Home Settings
modules and controllers can also be used in other manufacturer’s Z­Wave™ enabled networks. Each module in a Home Settings network
is designed to act as a repeater. Repeaters can re-transmit the RF
signal to ensure that the signal is received by its intended destination
by routing the signal around obstacles and radio dead spots.

Installation and Set-Up Recommendations

1. Modules should be plugged into or hardwired into the
location where they will be used.

2. For best results, do not move or relocate modules after
they have been included into the network. If you wish to
re-locate or move a module from a particular location,
first delete it from the network, then include it back to
the network after you have re-located it.

3. Devices should be plugged into modules before adding
modules to the network. Devices (for example, lamps)
should be turned to the ON position.

4. Controllers must be brought within 6 ft. of modules
during set-up. This is because during set-up, the
controller communicates with the modules using low
radio transmission power. This helps provide additional
security when setting up your network.

5. HA06 Dimmer Switches have a 40-Watt minimum lamp
requirement.

Creating a Network

NOTE: Creating a network refers to assigning modules to
the master controller. All modules must be assigned to the
master controller before any programming or remote control
functions can be accomplished.
