Congratulations on your purchase of the IR32A
IconRemote. The IR32A IconRemote has the ability to
combine many types of remotes into a single remote. It
has many unique features that are available through the
high quality color screen and the configurable menus.
The screen displays icons that are easily set up to
represent your favorite channels. You can select any
channel by simply pressing the key next to the icon that
represents the channel.

The IR32A IconRemote may provide additional
functions that are not available on your device, and there
may be functions (e.g., menu functions) that initially may
not be controlled by the remote; but in such cases, the
IR32A IconRemote can easily learn the commands from
your original remote. The IR32A IconRemote remote is
capable of many other features that are also described in
this manual.

The IR32A IconRemote can also control X10 RF
devices, which allows you to control different electrical
devices located in various physical locations around the
house, using radio frequency (RF) signals. This gives
you the freedom to control devices that are not in the
same physical location as the remote.

The IR32A IconRemote is very intuitive and has built-in
Help, but it’s very useful to become familiar with the
remote by first reading this manual. After you’ve become
familiar with the IconRemote, the first thing you need to
do is to install the batteries and setup your remote using
the on-screen instructions.

Thank you for purchasing this remote, and we trust that
it will give you many years of service.

Setup

Battery Installation

On the back of the remote, push

•

down on the tab and lift the cover off.

• Match the batteries to the + and -

marks inside the battery case, then
insert 3 AA Alkaline batteries. Make

sure you use new batteries. You can
have problems with learning codes if
your batteries are old.

• Press the battery cover back into

A

A

A

A

A

A

place.

Battery Saver

Your remote automatically turns off if the keys are depressed
for more than 30 seconds. This will save your batteries should
your remote get stuck in a place where the keys remain
depressed (e.g., between the sofa cushions). Also, the screen
turns off a short time after no keys have been pressed for a
while (or a short time after a key has been stuck for 30
seconds). The duration before the screen turns off can be
adjusted from about 2 seconds to about 120 seconds from the
Setup, Advanced, and Options menu (see page 43).

Permanent Memory

All the devices you set up, their codes, punchthrough settings,
and all your favorites, etc., are stored in permanent memory
while you are changing batteries so you will not lose any codes
or settings stored in the remote while you are changing
batteries.

After you insert the batteries you’ll see a screen asking you to
choose your language (English, Spanish, or French (Canadian).
Let’s assume you choose English; proceed to page 9.

Using the Wizard

After you insert the batteries and choose
“English” the Setup Wizard screen (1)
appears. You can exit the Wizard at any
time by pressing the HOME key (located
just below the screen). Press any key at
screen (1) to continue and follow the
instructions on the screens.

Pressing OK at screen (2) takes you to the
next screen (3). Pressing the Left
navigation key (Back key) on the remote
at screen (3) takes you to screen (4) that
has 10 yellow arrows. This is an
exception to the rule because we’re
teaching you how to use the remote. But
pressing Back again at this point does
take you “back.”

Try pressing the Back key a few times to
go back through the Wizard and then
follow the instructions on the screens
again to familiarize yourself with how to
step through the screens and go back. You
can go back and forth through the Wizard
but once you’ve set up your devices and
quit to save the settings, you won’t see the
Wizard again unless you do a Master
Reset.

To do a Master Reset: Press the HOME
key, Setup, More, Advanced, Clear
Settings, More, and then Master Clear.
Note: This will erase everything you have
set up in the remote.

Pressing any of the 10 Side
Keys (K1 thru K10) at screen
(4) takes you to the screen
where you set up your first
device (TV). See next page.

Setting Up Your Devices

Setting Up Your Devices, cont.

How to set up a TV

After you’ve been through the Wizard for
the first time, the screen (1) shown to the
right appears. This is the start of the
Wizard to set up your devices (TV being
the first one). Manually turn on the
device(s) to be set up (TV, VCR, etc.).

If you know your brand of TV, select Yes,
which results in a faster search for your
TV’s code. (Selecting No searches the
complete library of TV codes, rather than
just the codes for your brand of TV).

Pressing the Side Key next to Yes at
screen (1) takes you to a screen (2) where
the most common brands are shown next
to the Side Keys. If your brand isn’t
shown you can press the Side Key
adjacent to Next to show more brands,
(shown alphabetically) or press the Side
Key adjacent to Back to go back to the
previous screen of brands. Note, on the
very first screen of brands, the Side Key
adjacent to Back takes you to the last
screen of brands (so you can go back
through the list instead of forward through
it if you prefer). In this case we selected
Philips.

Screen (3) tells you to point the remote
directly at your TV and repeatedly press
(but not hold) Power (or Chan Up/Down,
or Play for VCRs, etc.) until your device
responds. Pressing Power sends the Power
command to your TV and screen (4)
shows that you’ve selected code 1 of xx
(xx will vary by brand). Keep pressing
Power until your TV responds and then
press Save.

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

Pressing Save displays screen (5) that
instructs you to try a few other keys on
the remote to make sure you’ve found the
correct code. Tip: Try keys like Menu,
and Guide. Power might work yet you
still might not have the correct code. If
several keys seem to work fine, press
Save Code. If some keys don’t work,
select Change Code (or press Back) to go
back and find another code that works
better. Selecting Label lets you rename
the device, e.g., you could call it My TV.
You can ignore this for now and try it
later if you like. See pages 13, 14, and 32
for more details on entering text to
change labels.

Pressing Save Code at screen (5) takes
you to screen (6) where you set up a
Cable box. You can quit at this point and
set up other devices later, or you can continue and set up other
devices - SAT, DVR, DVD, VCR, Audio, CD Player, or an AUX
device. (Directions on how to set up X10 Home Automation
devices are shown on pages 15-20.)

Let’s assume for now that you go ahead and set up a TV,
Cable, and SAT.

If you select No at screen (1) on the previous page the
procedure will be similar to the above, except that you will be
searching through the entire library of codes for your device to
find the one that works best (instead of just searching through
the codes for your brand of device, e.g., Philips).

If you say Yes when asked if you know your Brand, but
subsequently don’t find a code that works, you are asked if you
want to try again (in case you missed it), or try all the codes for
your device. If you try all codes for your device type, and still
don’t find a code that works, you can skip it, or select Learn. If
you select Learn you can later learn the commands you want
for that device type.

Setting Up Your Favorites

Once you’ve gone through the Wizard
and set up at least a TV, and set up more
devices, or skipped the rest of them, you
arrive at screen (1) to the right.

Press any digit key, say digit 4, to enter a
channel number. This takes you to screen
(2). You can enter more digits if desired.
The channel number can include a dash
(-) for digital channels, e.g., 2-3, or can
include ENTER, or OK, if your device
requires it to change channels, e.g.,
472Ok, or 550Ent.

(2)

Setting Up Your Favorites, cont.

If you want to add a label to the logo, press the Side Key next
to Label. This is optional so if you don’t want to add a label to
the logo you can just select Save to save the setting for this
favorite. If you save this favorite, Set Favorite 2 of 10 is now
shown at the bottom of the screen to indicate that you can add
another favorite channel. Again, just press a channel number
key on the remote, choose a logo and change the Device Type
(if you want to). Add a few more favorites (up to 10). You can
add more later, or delete or edit them later, or even reorder
their positions. Select Done when you’re finished setting up
favorites.

If you select Label, you see the screen to
the right with a small label on top of the
logo. Initially the label will be the channel
number for that logo. If you Save this, the
logo will have a small label representing
the channel number for that logo in it’s
bottom right hand corner, see screen (5).

Press the Side Key next to Pick Logo on
screen (2). You are shown a screen (3)
of popular channel logos. You can select
Next (Side Key 10) or Back (Side Key

5) to see more logos. In this example we
pressed the NBC logo (Side Key 4).
Screen (4) now shows that we’ve chosen
channel 4 and the NBC logo. Note, you
could also select the top left position
which would display “4” as the favorite
rather than a logo.

The Default device in this case was Sat,
but you can select Pick Device to
change it. In this case we changed it to
Cable. Make sure you select the

device that you want each favorite to
control, e.g., TV, Cable, or Sat.

(4)

(5)
But you can type in a new label if you
want one. You enter the new name for the
key using the numeric keys on the remote
in a similar fashion to typing in text on a
cell phone.

In this example, press the 5 key twice to
enter the letter K. Then, wait a second,
and then press the 4 key repeatedly until
the letter I is displayed. Then, wait a
second and press 6 to select N. Then,
wait a second and press the 4 key to
select G.

Setting Up X10 Devices

Note: “Triple tap” name entry works in a similar fashion to text
entry on a cell phone. Tap each numeric key to cycle through
ALL caps, numbers, and lower case letters. E.g., repeatedly
pressing the number 2 key cycles through A, B, C, 2, a, b, c.
Pressing the 9 key cycles through W, X, Y, Z, 9, w, x, y, z. A
“space” can be selected with the 0 (zero) key. The number 1
key selects 1 . @ ? ! - & and :. You can backspace an entry
with the key to the left of the 0 (zero) key. Press OK to confirm
your new name.

You can continue to add favorites, up to
a total of 10 (You can add more later; see
page 38.) At screen (6) you choose if the
favorites you just set up are stored in the
“His” group or the “Hers” group. Later
you can set up favorites in lots of
different Groups, not just His and Hers.
Selecting His takes you to screen (7)
showing that you now have NBC set as
the first favorite in the His Group (at the
location next to Side Key K1), as well as
any other favorites you set up. (Note,
you can reorder, i.e., move the positions
of the logos later.)

When you’re finished setting up your
favorites, press the HOME key (located
to the left below the screen) to go back
to the Home screen.

At any time you can press the FAVORITE key
and then select His, or press the His key at
the top left hand side of the remote to go
to screen (7) above. Pressing the key next
to the NBC logo will (in this case) change
the channel on your Cable box to NBC (in
this case channel 4).

Note: See page 19 “Using the Remote” for
related His and Hers features.

The IR32A IconRemote - coupled with other X10 Home
Automation Modules - gives you the ability to control every­thing electrical in your home. Once you set up your remote, you
can control most any electrical device from the remote, using
the keys that have been configured for X10 Home Automation
Modules.

Description

X10 Home Automation systems use three types of signals ­Infrared (IR), Radio Frequency (RF), and Power Line Carrier
(PLC). The IR32A remote can send either IR, RF signals, or
both, depending on how you’ve set up the remote to control
different equipment.

Setting Up Your Remote to Send RF commands

When the IR32A is in X10 mode, it transmits RF commands to
X10 devices that respond to RF signals. The following example
describes how to use RF to control a TV (so you can control it
from anywhere in your home). Keep in mind that when you set
up a non RF device to be controlled by RF signals, you need to
use a device like the RE549, which converts the RF signals it
receives back in to IR signals to turn the TV on or off (see
pages 50 and 51 for more details).

• Press Home.

• Select Setup using the Side Key.

• At the following screen select More

using the Side Key.

• At the following screen select

Wireless.

• The Mode screen appears; select the

Device you want to set for RF by
pressing its Side Key. (In this example,
it’s TV.) The RF symbol appears on the
TV icon. Press OK to Save.

Note: After following the above steps,
when you make selections in TV Mode,
you will notice that the transmit signals at
the bottom of the screen are now Green.
This indicates that the remote is sending
RF and IR to the TV. If the signals are in
Red, it means that the remote is transmit­ting IR only.

Setting Up X10 Devices, cont.

When triggering an X10 module or wall switch using the IR32A
IconRemote, the signal is typically sent from the remote using
RF on a specific house code. The RF signal is received by the
transceiver (either TM751, RR501, CM15A, or security console)
on the matching house code. The transceiver then forwards
the signal onto the house wiring. This is now a PLC signal.
Any modules that match the house and unit code transmitted
will either turn on or off, depending on the signal sent.

Setting Up the IR32A to control the TM751
Transceiver using Housecode “B.”

The TM751 Transceiver receives RF signals to
control lights and appliances. Do the following
to setup this transceiver.

• Press the HOME key to display the setup
screen. Select Setup.

Setting up an LM465 Lamp Module (example)

The following is a basic example of how to set up an X10 Lamp
Module (sold separately). See X10’s Internet Home Page for a
complete catalogue of Home Automation Modules at http://

x10.com/homepage.htm.

Lamp Module

The Lamp Module may be used to control any incandescent
lamp rated up to 300W. It is not suitable for other types of
lamps such as fluorescent, energy saving lamps, or lamps that
include a dimmer control.

Caution: Do not connect an appliance such as a coffee pot or
heater to the Lamp Module. It may damage the module and the
appliance and could cause a fire hazard.

• Set the House Code to ‘B’ and the Unit

Code to ‘3.’ (In this e xample, B3
matches the remote’s address for this
device.)

• Plug a lamp into the Lamp Module.

Assuming you followed the steps on the previous pages and
have set up some devices and some favorites, you can now use
the remote. See the sections that follow to set up more devices
and/or favorites, and to set up other functions. (See page 37 to
learn how to set up more favorites.)

Using the Remote

Pressing either the HIS or HERS key once
at any time accesses the favorites that
you’ve set up. You can select any of your
favorites by pressing the button next to the

Tips On Learning

The following are the guidelines that will help you use this
feature:

a. Some functions from some types of remotes might not

be able to be learned.

b. No functions may be learned under the HOME, MODE,

FAVORITE, HIS, or HERS (hard) keys.

c. Use fresh batteries for both the IR32A remote and your

Original Remote.

d. Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or low-

energy lights when learning. (Ambient light can influence
learning a great deal.)

e. Place the original remote end-to-end with the IR32A

remote so the IR transmitter (at the top) on your original
remote points at the IR learning device on the bottom of the
IR32A IconRemote.

f. Keep the distance between the two remotes to

approximately 1 inch.

g. Line up the remotes and then press the key you want to

learn. To get the correct range, press the key on the remote
you are learning and you will see a “red halo” around the
transmit icon at the bottom left of the screen starts to
flicker. The best range for learning is when it flickers most
rapidly. Move the position of the 2 remotes to achieve this.
(Slightly off center may improve the best learning.) Do not
change this “best distance” between the two remotes until
you have learned all the required keys.

h. When Learning, you should normally not release the key

being learned until the display prompts you to do so.
However, some keys might be learned multiple times if you
do this. If this happens just “tap” the key you want to
learn, rather than press and hold it. For example, keys that
you normally hold down for a while (like volume up or
down) will likely require a long press when learning. Keys
that you normally give a quick press (like the numbers, and
channel up/down) will likely require a quick press when
learning. If after learning say the channel up key, you find
that it changes multiple channels when pressed once, try
relearning it with a short key press.

i. If learning the first or second keys results in continuous

errors then try the following:

2524

Learning, cont.

Learning Main Keys

• Check the IR transmitters/sensors are correctly aligned
between the two remotes.

• Adjust the distance between the two remotes to be closer
(e.g., half an inch) or a further away (e.g., 2 inches) from each
other.

• Try learning the original remote keys again.

• If problems reoccur with the same key, check the original
remote button being learned – does it transmit? Does it
operate the target device?

You can learn commands from an
existing remote and store them under the
“Main” keys on the IR32A IconRemote,
or learn commands from an existing
remote and store them under any of the
10 side keys.

At the Home screen press the Side Keys
next to Setup, More, and then Learn.

At the next screen press any of the five
Side Keys K1-K5 on the left to learn
commands under a Side Key, or press
any of the top four Side Keys K6-K9 on
the right to learn commands under the
main keys on the remote.

If you press a right Side Key (to select Main Keys) you are
going to learn, say, the Chan Up key from an existing remote
and store it under the Chan Up key on the IR32A IconRemote.
Or, learn the Power key from an existing remote and store it
under the Power key on the IR32A IconRemote, etc.

If you press a left Side Key (to select Side Keys) you are going
to learn, say, the “DVD Zoom” function from an existing
remote and store it under a Side Key on the IR32A
IconRemote. You will then be able to name the key “DVD
Zoom” and access this “DVD Zoom” function from the Mode
screen when the remote is in the mode that you selected when
you learned this “DVD Zoom” command.

At the Home screen press the Side Keys
next to Setup, More, and then Learn.

Then press one of the top four Side Keys
K6-K9 to the right of the screen.

Select the Device you want to learn keys
for. In this example we only have a TV,
Cable Box and Satellite Receiver set up,
so the rest are grayed out, but you can
still select any of the devices to learn
commands for. You are then instructed
to line up the remotes, and press the key
on the IR32A remote that you want to
learn.

Then, point the remote you want to
learn commands from at the bottom of
the IR32A IconRemote, and press the
key on the IR32A IconRemote that you
want to learn a command under, e.g.,
the Power key.

2726

Learning Main Keys, cont.

Macros - Main Keys, cont.

Press and hold (in this example) the
Power key on the other remote until the
display shows that the command has been
successfully learned. Note for some types
of keys you might need to hold the key
pressed, but for other types a quick press
is sufficient. Experiment a bit. If keys you
learn are sent multiple times try learning
them with just a quick press. (See Tips on
Learning on page 25.)

If the screen says Failure, you can press
the key and try again.

You can continue learning more
individual keys by following the
instructions on the screen, and then press
Done when you’re finished. Or you can
press Add Key to Macro (see below and
next page).

Learning a Macro - Main Keys

At this screen you can select Add Key to
a Macro. Instead of learning another
“separate” key, the next key you learn
will be added to a Macro. This Macro
will be activated by the key that you
learned the first command under. E.g.,
you could press Power and learn the
power command from your TV’s remote,
then select Add Key to Macro, and press
the 3 key and learn the channel 3 key
from your TV’s remote. Then the Macro
stored under the Power key will turn on
the TV and change the channel to
number 3.

Before learning the second key in the
Macro, you can set a delay (1-10 sec)
after which the command stored in the
Macro will be sent. For example, your
TV might require a few seconds after
turning it on before it will respond to a
Channel Up/Down command.
(Repeatedly press the Side Key next to
Set Delay or enter the delay directly
with the numeric keys, 0-9.)

In this case let’s set a 1-second delay
between commands. Then point your
existing remote at the bottom of the
IR32A remote; press OK when you’re
ready.

You then press the second key on your
original remote that you want to add to
the Macro.

When success is displayed you can
continue adding keys to the Macro and
then press Done when you’re finished.

2928

Learning Side Keys

Learning Side Keys, cont.

At the Home screen press the Side Keys
next to Setup, More, and then Learn.

Then press any of the Side Keys K1-K5
to the left of the screen.

Select the device you want to learn keys
for. In this example we only have a TV,
Cable Box and Satellite Receiver set up,
so the rest are grayed out, but you can
still select any of the devices to learn
commands for. In this case we select
TV.

Some typical “extra” keys are already set
up, (depending on the Mode you se­lected), the rest of them are called L6,
L7, L8, etc., 27 keys in total. (You can
rename them later). Press the Side Key
that you want to learn a command under.
(Note: You can choose one that already
has a name, so as to “learn over it” and
then later rename it.) Let’s select L7.

Next, point the remote you want to learn
commands from at the bottom of the
IR32A IconRemote, and press OK when
you’re ready. (See Tips on Learning on
page 25.)

Next press the key on the other remote
for the function you want to learn.
Hold the key pressed until the screen says
that the command was successfully
learned. Note for some types of keys you
might need to hold the key pressed but for
other types a quick press is sufficient.
Experiment a bit. If keys you learn are
sent multiple times try learning them with
just a quick press.

You can change the label for the key (in
this case L7) and/or add the key to a
Macro. (See page 33 for Macros.)
If you select Change Label, by pressing
Side Key K9, you can change the name
to anything you want. For example,

you’ll likely want to rename it with the
name of the function that you learned.

After you select Change Label, the
screen to the right appears. You enter
the new name for the key using the
numeric keys on the remote in a similar
fashion to typing text using a cell phone.
See the following page.

Learning Side Keys, cont.

Learning Macros (Side Keys)

E.g., in this example we pressed the 3
key on the remote to enter the letter D.
Then we pressed the 8 key repeatedly
until the letter V was displayed. Then we
waited for a second and pressed 3 to
select D. Then we pressed the 0 (zero)
key twice until we selected a space. We
continued this process until we had
“DVD Zoom” displayed.

Press OK to save the new label for the
key we just learned.

The next time you set the remote to the
mode that you learned this key under,
you’ll see a screen where you can
select this and any other functions
you’ve learned under that mode.

Pressing the MODE key and then selecting a device type
shows the “extra” keys and learned keys for that mode. Note,
you can learn keys from any kind of remote under any mode.
You could for example learn the power keys for your TV, and
your audio system and extra keys for your DVD player under
the DVD mode. Then, when you press the MODE key and
select DVD, you’ll be able to turn on your TV, turn on your
audio system, and control your DVD player, all from the Side
Keys on this one screen.

A Macro could include the Power key for
your TV, followed by the Power key for
your Cable box, followed (after a 2
second delay), by digit 4 from your cable
remote. Then, when you later activate this
Macro, it will turn on your TV, turn on
your cable box, wait 2 seconds, and then
set the cable box to channel 4.
At the Home screen press the Side Key
next to Learn.

Then press any Side Key K1-K5 to the
left to learn a Macro that you’ll save to a
Side Key (and later rename it if desired).

Select the device you want to learn keys
for. In this example we only have a TV,
Cable Box and Satellite Receiver set up,
so the rest are grayed out, but you can
still select any of the devices to learn
commands for. E.g., in this case we
selected DVR.

X10 Macros

Note: “Triple tap” name entry works in a similar fashion to text
entry on a cell phone. Tap each numeric key to cycle through
ALL caps, numbers, and lower case letters. E.g., repeatedly
pressing the number 2 key cycles through A, B, C, 2, a, b, c.
Pressing the 9 key cycles through W, X, Y, Z, 9, w, x, y, z.
A “space” can be selected with the 0 (zero) key. The number 1
key selects 1 . @ ? ! - & : and back to 1. And you can
backspace an entry with the key to the left of the 0 (zero) key.
Press OK (or the Enter “E” key) to confirm your new name.

Then select the Side Key that you want to
store the Macro under, for example, L3.

Press Side Key K8 next to “Add Key to
Macro” to add more keys.

Point your existing remote at the bottom
of the IR32A IconRemote, and press OK
when you’re ready. Then press your next
key.

After adding more keys, you can keep
the label for the key (in this example L1)
or select Change Label by pressing Side
Key K9.

If you select Change Label, you can
change the name to anything you want.
For example you could call it My Macro
or Macro 1.

After you select Change Label, you see
the screen below to the right.

You enter the new name for the key using
the numeric keys in a similar fashion to
typing in text on a cell phone. E.g., in
this example we pressed the 6 key on the
remote to enter the letter “M.” Press the
2 key repeatedly until the letter “a” is
displayed. Wait a second and repeatedly
press 2 to select “c.” Then, wait a second
and repeatedly press the number 7 key
until “r” is selected. Then the 6 key to
select “o.” Then the 0 (zero) key twice to
select a space, and then 1 to select 1.
Macro 1 is then displayed.

You can set a delay (1-10 sec) after which
the command stored in the Macro will be
sent. (Repeatedly press Side Key K9 next
to Set Delay, or enter the delay directly
with the numeric keys, 0-9).
In this case we set a 2-second delay.

Press Done to save the new label for the
Macro you learned and stored under the
L1 key.

The next time you select the Mode that
the Macro was learned in (DVR in this
case), you’ll see that you can press the

no matter what mode the remote is in. Or you might want the
Play, Stop, Pause REW, FF, and Record keys to ALWAYS
operate your VCR no matter what mode the remote is in.

Press the HOME key, Setup, More, Advanced, then
Punchthrough.

Then select the device you want to set
up Punchthrough, e.g., TV.

Punchthrough, cont.

At this screen you set how you want the
Volume Up/Down and Mute keys to
operate when the remote is in TV mode.

Select how you want the Channel Up/
Down keys to operate when the remote is
in TV mode.

Select how you want the Play, Stop, Pause,
REW, FF, and Record keys to operate
when the remote is in TV mode.

For example, here we’ve set the Volume
and Mute keys to operate the TV in TV
mode (i.e., Punchthrough Not Set); Chan
Up/Down to operate the Cable Box; and
Play, Stop, Pause, etc., to operate the DVD
Player - even though the remote is in TV
mode.

Here we’ve set the Volume and Mute to
operate the TV; and Chan Up/Down to
operate the Cable Box; - even though the
remote is in DVD mode. Play, Stop,
Pause, etc., will operate the DVD (i.e.,
Punchthrough Not Set for Play, etc.).
You need to set up Punchthrough for each
device you’ve set up in the remote. I.e.,
you need to set up how you want the
“Volume Up/Down and Mute” “Chan Up/Down” and “Play,
Stop, Pause REW, FF, and Record” keys to operate for each
device that you have set up in whatever mode the remote is set
to.

Note also that if you want some other keys to operate in a
different mode from what they normally operate in, you can
“learn” the key(s). E.g., if you want you TV’s INPUT key to
still switch the TV’s input when you’re in cable mode, you can
learn your TV’s INPUT key under cable mode.

KidSafe

Press the HOME key, Setup, More,
Advanced, then KidSafe.

The first time you access the KidSafe
menu you are asked if you want to set up
a KidSafe Code. If you select Yes, you
see this screen. Enter a 4-digit code that
you will easily remember but that your
Kid(s) won’t be able to guess.

After you enter a 4-digit code and press
OK, you will see a screen that lets you
pick a new KidSafe code, i.e., change it.
And/or set the group of favorites that
your Kids have access to. (The default
group is Kids, but it will be grayed out if
you haven’t set up that group.)

You can press the Side Key next to Pick
Favorites and choose a different
favorites group that you want your Kids
to have access to, e.g., any other
favorites group that you’ve set up.

After you’ve done this you now have the
option to Turn KidSafe On. If you turn
KidSafe On everything in the remote
except access to the KidSafe group (and
Volume/Mute keys) is locked out. No
settings can be changed, and the Channel Up/Down and
number keys will not work.

If you own or have purchased the Model IR543 Command
Center, and you have compatible X10 Lamp, Appliance, and
Wall Switch modules, you will also be able to control lights
and appliances from your IR32A IconRemote. You must set
up the remote with the 0999 device code in order for the
IR32A to communicate to the IR543 Command Center.

When you point the IR32A toward the IR543, it receives the
IR commands and retransmits them onto your house wiring.
(This is now a PLC signal.) Any modules that match the
house and unit code transmitted will either turn on or off,
depending on the signal.

To see how to enter a device code, refer to page 43. Set up
the code under AUX mode, but you can choose another mode
if you prefer. Then in AUX mode (for example), press a
number button on the IR32A corresponding to the X10
Module you want to control. Press CHANNEL + to turn the
module on, CHANNEL – turns it off; VOLUME + to brighten
Lamp and Wall Switch Modules, and VOLUME – to dim
them.

If you own or have purchased the TM751 RF Transceiver
Module, your IR32A IconRemote communicates using its RF
signal. The remote transmits the RF signal on a specific
house code. This signal is received by the transceiver (either
TM751, RR501, CM15A, or security console) on a matching
house code. (See pages 15 through 20 on how to set up the
remote and modules.) The transceiver then forwards the
signal onto the house wiring. This is now a PLC signal. Any
modules that match the house and unit code transmitted will
either turn on or off, depending on the signal sent. Camera
power supplies are addressable and act just like lamp or
appliance modules.

If you try to access any other favorite group, change a setting,
or access any forbidden menu, you are asked to enter the
KidSafe code. You cannot continue unless you enter the correct
KidSafe code. See the Troubleshooting section if you forget
your KidSafe code - but don’t let your kids read this owner’s
manual!

Audio and Video Compatibility

Voice Dialer Security Console

The IR32A IconRemote used in conjunction with the RE549
Half Powermid gives you control of Audio and Video
components - even if they are in a different room from the
remote.

The Half Powermid allows you to extend the distance you can
use your remote. You will be able to hide the RE549 from sight
and still control your TV or other electronic devices through
entertainment centers, cabinet doors, from another room, etc.
The transmitter will receive the RF commands and send them
using IR through the transmitter cable included with the your
package.

Description:

The idea on how to do this is shown in the figure below. Follow
these basic steps:

• Plug the Powermid Receiver (Model RE549) into a 120V AC
outlet in the room where your TV, VCR, stereo, etc., that you
want to control is located (up to 20 feet away from what you
want to control). Point the front of the Powermid Receiver
towards the unit you want to control.

• Fully extend the antenna on the Powermid.

• (Optionally) plug the IR extender cable into the back of the
RE549 and attach the IR emitters on the cable to the front of up
to two A/V devices that you want to control.

• Press any key on the remote. The RE549 receives the Radio
Frequency (RF) signals and blasts the IR signals from its front
face, or optionally through the RX569 emitter cable to control
your IR compatible devices (TV, VCR, CD, etc.).

Note: You can add more RE549’s to control A/V equipment in
more than one room.

The IR32A IconRemote used in conjunction with
the PS561 (DS7000) security console gives you
the ability to control your home security directly

the OK key.

• Use the Side Key to Pick Device.

• Press the Security Side Key.

• Press the Side Key to select the DS7000.

• At the Security Options screen, press the

Side Key to Set Password.

• Enter your 4-digit security code using the

alphanumeric keys. (This is your choice; do
not forget your security code.)

• Press the Side Key for the Set Console Link.

• Following the screen instructions to set

your console to program mode by pressing
and holding the OK key until the console

Troubleshooting

12 Month Limited Warranty

The Favorites you set up don’t operate your device.

• Make sure you selected the correct device (TV, Cable, Sat,
etc., when you set up each favorite. See Add/Edit Favorites
on page 38 to change the device type for your favorite(s).

The Remote’s hard keys do not operate your product.

• Make sure the remote is set to the correct Mode by pressing
the MODE key followed by the appropriate Side Key for the
device mode that you want.

• Program the remote with a new code.

• The remote may not contain the code for your device. Try
learning the codes you need from your old remote.

• Install new batteries.

The remote does not operate some features of your product.

• Program the remote with a new code.

• The remote may not be able to operate all the features of
your product or key names might be different than your
product. Try learning codes from your old remote.

Having problems with learning?

• See Learning Tips on page 25.

• If some learned keys transmit multiple times, e.g., if a learned
Channel Up key changes more than one channel when you
press it, or Up/Down/Left/Right navigation keys move more
than one step when you press the learned key; try just
giving the key to be learned a quick press (when you learn it)
rather than holding the key pressed until the screen displays

Your TV turns on when you press a Favorite key.

• Some types of TV, e.g., Philips flat panel TVs turn on and go
to the selected channel when you press a channel number
while the TV is off. So for this type of TV pressing a favorite
key will do the same thing (but it might not work for 3-digit
channels, e.g., 550).

Forgot your KidSafe code?
