The Teleport™ Universal A/V remote control allows you to control

lights, thermostats and many other devices around your home

using additional Z-Wave

®

certified products from Wayne-Dalton

Corporation.

Teleport™ communicates with your Z-Wave

®

nodes (devices)

using radio signals. Large metal objects, house wiring, walls,

furniture, refrigerators, microwaves and similar items, may

interfere and reduce the range of your unit. A Z-Wave

®

network

is a collection of Z-Wave

®

nodes in a mesh type of network. Each

Z-Wave

®

node, regardless of manufacturer, communicates with

all the other nodes within its range to route and repeat the signals

from one device to the next, thus creating a highly robust network

transmission throughout the home.

A Z-Wave

®

network can have only one primary controller. The

primary controller establishes the network security to ensure your

network will not operate your neighbors network and vice-versa.

It is a good practice to label and protect your primary controller

since it is the only Z-Wave

®

controller that can add more nodes to

your network or delete nodes from your network. It is easy to add

secondary controllers as your network grows. For more tips and

great ideas on how to use and expand Teleport™ with Z-Wave

NETWORK

Information on the following pages provide details on specific

commands and features available on the Teleport™ remote

control for use with your Z-Wave

®

network.

The following tips may be useful in setting up Z-Wave

®

control on

your Teleport™ Universal A/V remote control. Page numbers

indicate the page in this manual where you can find specific

instructions for performing that step.

If you do NOT have an existing network:

1. Install your Z-Wave

®

nodes that are to be controlled.

2. Delete the Z-Wave

®

nodes to be controlled from any existing

network they may be in. (page 21)

3. Add the nodes to be controlled to Teleport™. (page 21)

NOTE: Your Teleport™ is now the primary controller of your

Z-Wave

®

network.

4. Add the nodes to be controlled to a scene. (page 22)

5. Test your scene by activating the scene. (page 23)

If your scene is not correct, repeat step 4.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional scene you wish to

create.

7. If you have additional Z-Wave

®

controllers, they can be made

secondary controllers in the network by copying network and

scene information as desired. (page 24)
