House Codes

What are they and why do we need them?

House codes are used to set up a proprietary network for MusicLites in your home, apartment or office to prevent other MusicLites transmitters and remotes operated by your neighbors from affecting your ML’s operation or from yours affecting others.

How does the code get set?

All MLs, transmitters and remotes will have a mechanical dial (see FIGURES 1, 2 and 3). They will have a default setting of 0. If you live in a rural area, or if there is enough space between your dwelling and your closest neighbor, you can leave on the default setting and not do anything.

What are my options?

If you choose to change your house code, you can turn the dial to any of 0-9 possible codes. You should do this with each ML, transmitter and remote prior to installing the MLs. You can use the included screwdriver and you will feel a mechanical click as you turn the dial for each number. Remember, ALL MLs, transmitters and remotes must be set to the same house code or they will not work together. Once done, there is very little chance of your system affecting another, or vice versa. If you do experience a problem, you may need to reset the house code to another number.
