S
AFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Remember to exercise good common
sense when using the Home
Automation features of your MP3
Remote - especially when controlling
unattended devices. There can be some
unexpected consequences if not used
with care. For example, an empty
coffee pot can be remotely turned on.
If that should happen, your coffee pot
could be damaged from overheating. If
an electric heater is turned on by
remote control while clothing is draped
over it, a fire could result. DO NOT USE
the remote for the control of high
power heating appliances such as
portable heaters.
Caution: To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble any part of
the Home Automation System’s plug-in
Modules or Controllers. No userserviceable parts are inside. If you spill
liquid on a unit, disconnect the unit from
the AC outlet to prevent possible fire or
shock hazard and consult authorized
service personnel.
Powerline operated equipment or
accessories connected to any of these
units should bear the UL listing or CSA
certification mark and should not have
been modified in any way that might
defeat their safety features.
Warning: To prevent electric shock
hazard, do not expose any part of the
Home Automation System to rain or
moisture

HOME CONTROL
Your MP3 remote controls lights and
appliances using X10 Modules (sold
separately). Please read the following as
it will give you an understanding of how
Home Control (Home Automation) works
and will help you understand what X10
Modules you will need to purchase to
control most everything in your home.
C
ONTROLLERS AND MODULES
The first thing you need to understand is
that there are two different devices you
need to control your house; Controllers
and Modules. Any light or appliance that
you want to control is plugged into a
Module and that Module is
then plugged into a
standard AC outlet.
Modules receive
commands from Controllers. Examples include the
Lamp Module (sold
separately). The T ransceiver
Module (also sold
separately) is another
example (although it also
doubles as a controller
as described later).
Controllers are also
plugged into standard
wall outlets and send
commands to Modules
over your existing
electrical wiring in your
house without affecting
your electricity in any way.
The Transceiver Module
works as a controller when it
is used with a remote
control such as the MP3
Remote. When the Transceiver Module receives a
command from a remote
it sends digital signals
over your existing house
wiring to a Module
which receives the
signals and executes the
command.
1514
The remote uses radio frequency (RF)
signals to send commands to the
Transceiver module. RF signals can go
right through walls, so you can use the
remote to control lights or appliances
from anywhere in your home.
H
OUSE CODES AND UNIT CODES
Each Module has a specific address
made up of a House Code (red dial on
the face of the Module) and a Unit Code
(black dial on the face of the Module).
The Remote sends a wireless signal to a
Transceiver which retransmits it over the
AC wiring to the Module. Only the
Module with a matching address
executes the command. If more than one
Module has the same address, both
Modules execute the command.
Addresses are set on the Module by
turning the two dials on the front of the
Module to the desired letter and number
(using a small screwdriver or a coin). The
House Code is selected from the letters A
through P, and the Unit Code is selected
from the numbers 1 through 16.
UNIT CODE
DIAL
You should locate the Transceiver Module
centrally in the home for maximum range
when controlled by the MP3 Remote.
1. Set the House Code
to ‘A.’
2. Plug a lamp or
appliance into the
Transceiver
Module.
3. Plug the Transceiver
Module into a
convenient AC
outlet. Fully extend
the antenna.
L
AMP MODULE
The Lamp Module (sold separately) can
be used to control any incandescent
lamp rated up to 300W. It is not suitable
for other types of lamp such as
fluorescent or energy saving lamps, or
lamps which include a dimmer control.
HOUSE CODE
DIAL
T
RANSCEIVER MODULE
The T ransceiver Module (sold separately)
receives radio frequency (RF) commands
from the MP3 Remote to operate a lamp
or appliance plugged into it. The
Transceiver Module also passes on
commands over your house wiring to
control other X10 modules (also sold
separately). Note that unlike the Lamp
Module you cannot dim or brighten a
lamp connected to the Transceiver
Module.
1. Set the House Code
to ‘A’ and the Unit
Code to ‘2.’
2. Plug a lamp into
the Lamp Module.
3. Plug the Lamp
Module into a
convenient AC
outlet.
1716
CONTROLLING
X10 MODULES
If you have purchased and installed a
Transceiver Module, you can control it
and other X10 modules as follows:
The 4 rocker keys at the bottom of the
remote will control X10 Modules set to
1, 2, 3, and 4, from left to right. Press
the top of the rocker key to turn the
Module ON. Press the bottom of the
rocker to turn the Module OFF. Press and
hold the top rocker to brighten, and the
bottom rocker to dim lights connected to
Lamp Modules and Wall Switch
Modules (does not dim or brighten
Appliance Modules, but turns them on if
they were off).
Use the slide switch on the side of the
remote to select control of X10 Modules
set to 1-4 or 5-8.
C
HANGING THE
SWITCH
You can change 1-4/5-8 slide switch to
allow you to control X10 Modules set to
9-12/13-16:
1. Press and hold
2. Press and hold the
The above procedure changes the switch
on the side of the remote to control X10
Modules set to 9-12 or 13-16. To
change it back to 1-4/5-8, repeat the
above procedure, pressing LIGHTS ON
instead of ALL OFF.

does not affect Appliance Modules.
The All Off button turns off ALL X10
Modules set to the same Housecode as
the remote, including Appliance
Modules.
These 4 rocker keys give instant control
of 4 X10 Modules set to Unit Codes 1-4

You can set any mode key (except TV) to
become an “X10” key. You could for
example make SAT an X10 key. Pressing
SAT then puts you in X10 mode and lets
you control all 16 X10 Modules (set to
the same Housecode as the remote).
Note: Do not set PC to be an X10 key
as you will then not be able to access
any of the MP3, etc., features of the
remote. See IMPORT ANT note on page
25
Notes: You cannot dim or brighten an
Appliance Module. If the module was off
and you press Bright or Dim (VOLUME +
or VOLUME -) this will simply turn the
module on.
* The above procedure sets the remote
to transmit X10 RF codes to any X10
Transceiver. If you want it to transmit X10
IR codes to an IR543 Console press 001

Once in X10 mode you can control any
X10 Module by pressing the number

the SETUP button.
2. Use the number

If the Transceiver Module works, but
other Modules don’t respond:
• Check that the Module has the same
House Code as the Transceiver
Module.
• Try plugging the Module into a
different outlet.

as the RR501 or TM751) to control X10
Modules, you will be able to control up
to 16 Modules. When using a
Transceiver, when you press 1-6-ON you
turn on Module number 16. However, if
you use an IR543 Console, when you
press 1-6-ON you turn on Modules 1

Modules (1-9 plus 0=10).
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.
