X10 Home Control

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.

Advanced Settings, cont.

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 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!
