FONE LINK™
The Fone Link allows any cordless or wired telephone to function as a remote controller for IR controlled
audio/video components. Used with cordless phones, it provides a control system not affected by sunlight
or any other infrared interference. The Fone Link contains an infrared signal learning microprocessor and
is connected between the cordless or wired phone and the phone line.

FRONT PANEL
The front panel of the Fone Link is made of acrylic
plastic. It should be cleaned with a soft cloth as it
scratches easily. Behind the panel are five red LEDs
(light emitting diodes), three powerful Blast IR emitters and an infrared sensor.
RED LED INDICATORS
PROGRAM - Lights when the PROGRAM button
on the rear panel is pressed.
LEARNING - Lights when any key on the tele-
phone is pressed.
ERROR - Lights when an error occurs or ex-
tended memory is required in the learning process or when trying to send an unprogrammed
command.
DELETE - Blinks on and off when the DELETE
button on the rear panel is pressed.
OUTPUT - Lights to indicate when infrared commands are being sent in response to pressing
telephone keys.
BLAST IR EMITTERS
Three Blast IR Emitters, for direct IR transmission to
the controlled equipment, are located between the
LEARNING and the DELETE LEDs. See Fig.1.
INFRARED SENSOR
The Infrared Sensor is located about one-half inch
above the OUTPUT LED. See Fig.1.

PREREQUISITES
A cordless (or wired) telephone and an active telephone line are required to use the Fone Link. The Fone
Link is supplied with a plug-in power supply. Do not plug the power supply into the wall outlet until instructed
to do so. In order to program the Fone Link, you will need the hand-held remote controllers for each of the
devices you wish to control.
INFRARED
Infrared light used for remote control acts much the same as visible light, except that you can’t see it. It will
pass through some plastic windows which appear to be almost black to the eye. Infrared travels in straight
lines and is reflected by most of the same surfaces that reflect visible light. If you use the Blast IR output
from the front panel, treat the front of the Fone Link as you would a spot light. To illuminate an infrared
window on a piece of audio/video equipment, the Fone Link must point towards it.
PHONE
Test the cordless or wired phone that you intend to use with the Fone Link by plugging it into a telephone
wall jack . Call someone and have them call you back to ensure that it is working correctly.
CONNECTIONS
If you have plugged the power supply into the wall, unplug it now! Unplug the cordless phone from the
telephone wall jack and plug it into the jack on the rear panel of the Fone Link marked "FROM PHONE",
as shown in Fig 3. Plug one end of the telephone cord supplied with the Fone Link into the jack on the rear
panel marked "TO WALL JACK" and the other end of the cord into the telephone wall jack. Plug the cord
connected to the power supply into the jack on the rear panel marked "+12VDC".
TURN IT ON
Hang-up the phone. Plug the power supply into a wall outlet. The five red LEDs (ERROR, PROGRAM,
LEARNING, DELETE and OUTPUT) on the front of the Fone Link should be off. If any of them are on, unplug
the power supply from the wall, count to ten, and plug it in again. Repeat this process until all of the LEDs
are off.
