X10 Wireless Technology IR32A owner manual X10 Home Control, Advanced, then KidSafe

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!

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.
