RemoteLinc Owner’s Man u al

WHAT IS INSTEON?

Since its inception in 2005, INSTEON has becom e a best-selling home-control networking technology,
offering more reliability and flexibility than any other home management system on the market. INSTEON
systems are sim ple, reliable, a nd affor dable. Simple, because each device tak es mere minutes to install.
Reliable, because ever y INST EON dev ice work s as a network repeater, e nsurin g your c omm ands will not
be lost. Affordable, bec ause INST EON can be int egrated i nto any num ber of devic es easil y and at a ver y
low cost. An INSTEON home grows in value with each added INSTEON device, making life more
convenient, safe, and fun.

How Does INSTEON Work?

What makes INSTEON the most reliable home automation network is its dual-mesh network. INSTEON
devices use both radio frequency (RF) signals and the home’s existing wiring to talk to each other. In an
INSTEON network, every INSTEON device also acts as a repeater, receiving and sending every message to all
other devices in the network. So by integrating more INSTEON devices you will strengthen the network and
ensure no commands will be lost.

No central controller or networking setup is required with an INSTEON network. Simply install your devices and
then use a series of button presses or taps to Link your devices together. Throughout this Owner’ s Manual, you
may see the terms “Controller” or “Responder”. These generic INSTEON terms refer to the components of an
INSTEON scene, and are used on a scene-by-scene basis.

• Controller – sends INSTEON commands to other devices

• Responder – reacts to commands sent out by another INSTEON device

An INSTEON device may act as a Controller, Responder, or sometimes both.
INSTEON networks are also extremely secure. Each INSTEON device is assigned a unique INSTEON ID, s o

unless neighbors or would-be hackers have access to your particular device’s INSTEON ID, they won’t be able
to control your home, even if they are using similar products.

INSTALLATION

Installing RemoteLinc

1) RF-only devices require at least one Access Point (#2443) or dual-band INSTEON device for

communication. For the best INSTEON network perf ormance, be sure you have properl y installed at
least two dual-band INSTEON devices.

Search for dual-band INSTEON devices at: www.smarthome.com/dualband

2) Remove the battery compartment from the rear

of RemoteLinc

3) Observe the polarity markings, and then install

four AAA batteries (included) accordingly
NOTE: Use alkaline batteries, or high quality

rechargeable batteries. A fully-charged set of
alkaline batteries will provide approximately
1,500-2,000 button taps.

4) Replace the battery compartment door before

use
