The Telephone Responder turns on up to 10 lights or appliances

from any telephone in the world! So you can tum on your centrai

heating or air conditioning before you leave work. Or you can

warm up or cool down your vacation home when you arrive at ilre

airport. You'll never have to come home to a dark home again. It's

also a remote control so you can control up to 8 lights and appli-

ances from anywhere inside your home. You can turn on ALL

lights connected to Lamp Modules and Wall Switch Modules with

the push of a single button if you hear a noise at night. You can

even turn off everything in the system with one button when you

go to bed. It will flash a selected light or lights anywhere in the

house when the phone rings (useful for the hearing impaired).

CAUTION

Be very careful when you use your Telephone Responder with

any kind of appliance. If you use it to turn on an empty coffee

pot, for example, you could burn up the coffee pot's heating

element, and even create a fire hazard. It would be even more

dangerous if you used remote control to turn on an elertric

heatcr that had clothing draped on it.

USE YOUR TEEEPHONE RESPONDER CAREFULLY

The Telephone Responder activates lights and appliances through-

out your home from any convenient. location. It transmits signals

to plug-in Modules over your existing house wiring. You plug

lamps into Lamp Modules, plug appliances into Appliance Mod-

ulcs and replace wall light switches with Wall Switch Modules.

You can then control virtually everything electrical in your home.

PROBLEM SOLVING.

If a particular Module won't go on or off from the buttons on

the Telephone Responder:

Check that you have power to the outlet controlling the Module

and the switch on the light or appliance is ON.

Check that the Unit Code on the Module is set to the correct num-

ber. Check that the Housecode on the Module and the Telephone

Responder are set to the same letter.

Try plugging the Module and the Responder into the same outlet.

If the Module doesn't work in ANY outlet, not even with the

Module and the Responder in the same duplex receptacle (top and

bottom) replace the Module. If the Module works in some outlets

but not in others, call 1-800-526-0027 for help.

If you canrt control ANY Modules from the Telephone Re-

sponder.

Check that you have power to the outlet for the Telephone Re-

sponder. Check that the Housecode on the Telephone Responder

is set correctly. Try plugging the Module and the Telephone Re-

sponder into the same outlet. If NONE of your Modules work in

ANY outlet, not even with the Module and ttre Telephone Re-

sponder in the same duplex receptacle (top and bottom) replace

the Telephone Responder. If the Telephone Responder works in

some outlets but not in others, call 1-800-526-0027 for help.

INTERCOM SYSTEMS.

Intercom systems which send voice signals over existing electri-

cal wiring may interfere with the operation of the Telephone Re-

sponder when the intercom is in use. If t}te Intercom system has

its own separate wiring it will not cause a problem.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS.

When the power is restored after an outage, Lamp Modules and

Wall Switch Modules will normally be OFF. Appliance Modules

will stay as they were before the intemrption.

MANUAL CONTROL.

Lights and appliances connected to plug-in Modules can be

turned ON with their own power switch. Simply turn the switch

OFF then ON again once or twice. For lamps with three-way

bulbs, you might have to rotate the power switch up to 4 times be-

fore the light comes on.

The Wall Switch Module can be turned ON or OFF locally using

its push butlon. The power On-Off switch on the Wall Switch

Module is used to completely tum off the power. For example,

when changing a light bulb.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

Don't exceed the ratings of the Modules, these are:

Lamp Module - 300 watts max. incandescent only.

Wall Switch Module - 500 watts max. 60 watts min. incandes-

cent only.

Appliance Module - appliances rated 15 Amp. resistive (such as

coffee pots and heaters) or l/3 H.P. motor load, or 400 waus for

TV sets or 500 watts for lamps, because of the "inrush current"

from a cold lamp.

Appliance Module: Don't use for "instant-on" TVs, heavy duty

heating appliances or anything which would be dangerous if it

were turned on remotely while unattended, an electric fan with

poorly protected blades for example.

Wall Switch Module and Lamp Module:

For safety: Don't use with Fluorescent, Mercury, Sodium or Low

Voltage lights. NO appliances such as fans etc. Use for incandes-

cent lights only. Don't use to control a lamp or fixture which al-

ready has a dimmer on it. Don't use a Wall Switch Module to con-

rol an outlet unless you are sure no one will plug an appliance (a

vacuum cleaner for example) into the outlet.
