What is INSTEON?
INSTEON is a simple, reliable, and affordable breakthrough in home control. Simple, because Plug-nTap™ setup is a breeze, and there are no wires to add – INSTEON uses existing powerline wiring as well
as radio-frequency for communication. And reliable, because every INSTEON device is a two-way
repeater. An INSTEON home grows in value with every INSTEON device you add, making life more
convenient, safe and fun.
Key RemoteLinc Features
• Six individual on/off buttons, plus dedicated DIM, BRIGHT, ALL ON and ALL OFF buttons.
• Setup is easy – install four AAA batteries (included), link RemoteLinc buttons to devices with simple
button taps, and you’re up and running.
• Shows command transmission activity with status LED
• Stores setup state in memory, even with batteries removed.
• Smart circuitry detects abnormally long button presses (like those ocurring when remote falls between
couch cushions) and puts RemoteLinc into sleep mode, preserving battery life.
• Warranted for two years

HOW TO SET UP REMOTELINC
Linking RemoteLinc to an INSTEON Device
To control an INSTEON Device using RemoteLinc, follow these steps to link RemoteLinc and the
INSTEON Device together. Refer to your INSTEON Device’s User’s Guide for detailed instructions on
how to properly install it and link it to RemoteLinc. The following will work for the most common
INSTEON Devices.
1. Choose the ON/OFF Button on RemoteLinc that you want to use for controlling your INSTEON
Device. There are 6 ON/OFF Button Pairs, labeled Channel 1 through Channel 6. You can link
multiple INSTEON Devices to a single ON/OFF Button.
2. Set RemoteLinc to Linking Mode by pressing and holding the ON side of the
button for 10 seconds until the Status LED begins blinking.
3. Select your INSTEON Device from the list below and follow the linking method for that Device. You
have about 4 minutes to perform this step before RemoteLinc’s Linking Mode times out automatically.
A. LampLinc™ V2 Dimmer – Press and hold the SET Button on the side of
LampLinc V2 Dimmer for 3 seconds, then release. To confirm linking,
LampLinc V2 Dimmer will blink its Status LED and also the light that it is
controlling.
B. ApplianceLinc™ V2 – Press and hold the SET Button on the side of
ApplianceLinc V2 for 3 seconds, then release. To confirm linking,
ApplianceLinc V2 will blink its Status LED.
C. SwitchLinc™ V2 Dimmer – Press and hold SwitchLinc V2 Dimmer’s Paddle
Top for 10 seconds, then release. To confirm linking, SwitchLinc V2 Dimmer
will blink the top LED in its LED Bar and also the light that it is wired to.
D. KeypadLinc™ V2 – Press and hold the ON Button at the top of KeypadLinc V2
for 10 seconds, then release. To confirm linking, KeypadLinc V2 will blink the
light that it is controlling.

INSTEON-compatible RemoteLinc User’s Guide
Unlinking One INSTEON Device from RemoteLinc
If you are no longer going to use an INSTEON Device that has previously been linked to RemoteLinc, it is
very important that you unlink it, otherwise the INSTEON network will retry any commands intended for
the unused INSTEON Device, thus slowing down your system.
1. Using the ON/OFF Button that you already linked your INSTEON Device to, set RemoteLinc to
Unlinking Mode by pressing and holding the ON side of the button for 10 seconds until the Status
LED begins blinking, then release the button.
2. Immediately press the same ON button again for 10 seconds.
3. Follow the same method given above that you used to link your INSTEON Device to unlink it. On
most INSTEON Devices, you just push a SET Button for 3 seconds.
4. When your INSTEON device is successfully unlinked, RemoteLinc will beep, and its Status LED will
stop blinking
Creating an INSTEON Scene
INSTEON Scenes let you activate dramatic lighting moods with the press of just one button. INSTEON
Scenes are very easy to set up – just link more than one INSTEON Device to an ON/OFF Button on
RemoteLinc. Then, when you press either the ON or the OFF Button on RemoteLinc, all of the INSTEON
Devices linked in the scene will respond as a group. You can link multiple INSTEON Devices to multiple
of INSTEON Controllers.
To add an additional INSTEON Device to a scene controlled by an ON/OFF Button on RemoteLinc,
simply follow the same procedure as above in Linking RemoteLinc to an INSTEON Device. To remove
an INSTEON Device from a scene, see Unlinking One INSTEON Device from RemoteLinc.
TIP
You can avoid having to hold RemoteLinc’s ON Button down for 10 seconds for each INSTEON
Device in a scene by placing RemoteLinc in Scene Setup Mode, also called Multilink Mode.
1. Set the RemoteLinc to Scene Setup Mode for the ON/OFF Button Pair you want to use for
controlling the scene by pressing and holding the desired ON Button for 10 seconds, then tapping
the same ON Button again. RemoteLinc’s Status LED will blink.
2. Follow the linking method given above for the INSTEON Device you want to include in the scene.
On most INSTEON Devices, you just push a SET Button for 3 seconds. RemoteLinc will beep to
confirm linking, and its Status LED will continue to blink slowly.
3. On some INSTEON Devices, you may be able to set up additional features, such as On-Levels or
Fade Rates at this time.
4. Continue Steps 2 and 3 for any additional INSTEON Devices you want to link to the scene.
5. When you are finished linking INSTEON Devices to the desired ON/OFF Button, complete Scene
Setup by pressing the ON Button. RemoteLinc’s Status LED will stop blinking and remain
steadily on. You have about 4 minutes of inactivity before RemoteLinc’s Scene Setup Mode times
out automatically.

ADVANCED FEATURES OF REMOTELINC
Resetting One ON/OFF Button to Its Factory Default Settings
If you want to remove all INSTEON links from a single ON/OFF Button Pair, or if you cannot unlink a
previously-linked INSTEON Device that has been lost or broken, follow this procedure.
1. Remove a single battery from RemoteLinc for at least 10 seconds.
2. While holding down the OFF side of the ON/OFF Button that you want to reset, reinsert the battery
into RemoteLinc (ensure battery is properly oriented). RemoteLinc will beep and its Status LED will
illuminate steadily. Wait 3 seconds after reinserting the battery, and then release the OFF button.
3. The ON/OFF Button will now have no INSTEON Devices linked to it.
NOTE
INSTEON Devices that have been previously linked to RemoteLinc will still respond to the ALL ON
and ALL OFF Buttons, and dimmable INSTEON Devices will still respond to holding down the ON or
OFF Buttons of the ON/OFF Button Pair that they were originally linked to, as well as the BRIGHT
and DIM Buttons. The reason is that the INSTEON Devices themselves have not been unlinked from
RemoteLinc. Follow the procedure Unlinking One INSTEON Device from RemoteLinc, above, to
unlink individual INSTEON Devices.
Resetting RemoteLinc to Its Factory Default Settings
The factory reset procedure can be used to clear the RemoteLinc’s memory and restore its factory default
settings. This procedure will clear the unit of all INSTEON Links.
1. Remove a single battery from RemoteLinc for at least 10 seconds.
2. While holding down the BRIGHT Button, reinsert the battery into
RemoteLinc (ensure battery is properly oriented). RemoteLinc will beep and
its Status LED will blink as you reinsert the battery, then its Status LED will
illuminate brightly.
3. After reinserting the battery, continue to hold down the BRIGHT Button for
10 seconds. RemoteLinc will beep continuously for a few seconds, then will
quickly beep twice.
4. Release the BRIGHT Button. The Status LED will turn off. RemoteLinc will now have no INSTEON
Devices linked to it.
NOTE
INSTEON Devices that have been previously linked to RemoteLinc will still respond to the ALL ON
and ALL OFF Buttons, and dimmable INSTEON Devices will still respond to holding down the ON or
OFF Buttons of the ON/OFF Button Pair that they were originally linked to, as well as the BRIGHT
and DIM Buttons. The reason is that the INSTEON Devices themselves have not been unlinked from
RemoteLinc. Follow the procedure Unlinking One INSTEON Device from RemoteLinc, above, to
unlink individual INSTEON Devices.

Using the ON and OFF Buttons
The ON and OFF Buttons have a dual purpose. If you tap them briefly, they turn INSTEON Devices
linked to them on or off. If you hold them down, the ON Button will brighten and the OFF Button will dim
any dimming modules linked to them. Holding down will not affect any non-dimmable (switchable)
modules. So, if you just want to turn things on or off, tap the appropriate button – don’t hold it down.
• To turn ON only those INSTEON Devices linked to an ON/OFF Button, tap the ON side of the Button.
RemoteLinc will beep and its Status LED will blink off twice. Dimmable modules will go to whatever
On-Level they were set up for, at whatever Fade Rate they were set up for. Switchable modules will
immediately go full on.
• To turn OFF only those INSTEON Devices linked to an ON/OFF Button, tap the OFF side of the
Button. RemoteLinc will beep and its Status LED will blink off twice. Dimmable modules will go full
off at whatever Fade Rate they were set up for. Switchable modules will immediately go full off.
• To brighten only those dimmable INSTEON Devices linked to an ON/OFF Button, press and hold
the ON side of the Button. RemoteLinc will beep and its Status LED will blink off once. Dimmable
modules will begin to brighten, unless they are already fully bright. Switchable modules will not be
affected. When you release the button, dimmable modules will stop going brighter and RemoteLinc’s
Status LED will blink off again.
• To dim only those dimmable INSTEON Devices linked to an ON/OFF Button, press and hold the
OFF side of the Button. RemoteLinc will beep and its Status LED will blink off once. Dimmable
modules will begin to dim, unless they are already fully off. Switchable modules will not be affected.
When you release the button, dimmable modules will stop dimming and RemoteLinc’s Status LED will
blink off again.

INSTEON-compatible RemoteLinc User’s Guide
Using the ALL ON and ALL OFF Buttons
The ALL ON and ALL OFF Buttons will turn on, turn off, brighten or dim all INSTEON Devices linked to
RemoteLinc, no matter which ON/OFF Button Pair they are linked to.
Choose carefully what you will be controlling with RemoteLinc, because all linked INSTEON Devices
will respond to the ALL ON and ALL OFF Buttons. Some INSTEON Devices can be set up so that
they will not respond to the ALL ON and ALL OFF Buttons (refer to the specific INSTEON module’s
documentation for instructions).
• To turn ON all INSTEON Devices linked to RemoteLinc, tap the ALL ON Button. RemoteLinc will
beep and its Status LED will blink off once. Dimmable modules will go to whatever On-Level they
were set up for. Switchable modules will immediately go full on.
• To turn OFF all INSTEON Devices linked to RemoteLinc, tap the ALL OFF Button. RemoteLinc will
beep and its Status LED will blink off once. All linked modules will instantly go off.
• To brighten all dimmable INSTEON Devices linked to any of RemoteLinc’s buttons, press and hold
the ALL ON button. RemoteLinc will beep and its Status LED will blink off once. Dimmable modules
will begin to brighten, unless they are already fully bright. Switchable modules will not be affected.
When you release the button, dimmable modules will stop brightening and RemoteLinc’s Status LED
will blink off again.
• To dim all dimmable INSTEON Devices linked to any of RemoteLinc’s buttons, press and hold the
ALL OFF button. RemoteLinc will beep and its Status LED will blink off once. Dimmable modules
will begin to dim, unless they are already fully off. Switchable modules will not be affected. When

ABOUT INSTEON
Understanding Why an INSTEON Network Is Reliable
INSTEON messages travel throughout the home via Powerline Carrier (PLC) signals on the existing
house wiring, and also via wireless Radio Frequency (RF). As the messages make their way to
INSTEON devices being controlled, they are picked up and retransmitted by all other INSTEON devices
along the way. This method of communicating, called a mesh network, is very reliable because each
additional INSTEON device helps to support the overall network.
To further ensure reliability, every INSTEON device confirms that it has received a command. If an
INSTEON Controller does not receive this confirmation, it will automatically retransmit the command up to
five times.
Further Enhancing Reliability
As signals travel via the powerline or RF throughout the home, they naturally become
weaker the farther they travel. The best way to overcome signals getting weaker is to
increase the coverage of the mesh network by introducing more INSTEON devices.
It is possible that some audio-video products, computers, power strips or other electrical
equipment may attenuate INSTEON signals on the powerline. You can temporarily
unplug suspected devices to test whether the INSTEON signal improves. If it does, then
you can plug in filters available from Smarthome that will permanently fix the problem.
Using SmartLab’s AccessPoint to Upgrade Your INSTEON Network
AccessPoints are ideal for improving signal strength and network
coverage throughout your home. In addition, two AccessPoints provide
a wireless path for INSTEON signals to travel between the two separate
electrical circuits, called powerline phases, found in most homes.
Without a reliable method for coupling opposite powerline phases, some
parts of your home may receive INSTEON signals intermittently. With at
least one AccessPoint plugged into one of the powerline phases, and at
least one more plugged into the opposite powerline phase, INSTEON
powerline signals will be strong everywhere in your home.
