RF signals can go right through walls, so you can use the remote to control lights or appliances from anywhere in your home. You should locate the Transceiver Module centrally in the home for maximum range when controlled by the MP3 Remote. HOUSE 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. [. . . ] · Press the ON/OFF button on the front of the Transceiver to confirm it operates the equipment connected to it. 25 · If you have reprogrammed the PC button to control something else, program it back to PC operation. · Check that the receiver is properly connected to your PC's serial port and that the red LED power indicator on the receiver is on. · Make sure the receiver is connected to your serial port BEFORE you install the Boom software. If installation fails, make sure the software isn't running during installation. [. . . ]
