Wireless RF Remote Control System 

RFK106, RFK106L

Hand Held Transmitter and Plug-in Receiver 

Imagine turning on your house lights from inside your car.  Or turning off your stereo from across the room. This wireless Radio Frequency (RF) control now 

makes it possible. RF Controls are an easy, convenient way to remotely control lights, and appliances in and around your home or office. The invisible RF signal 

passes through walls, doors, ceilings, floors and even around corners.  Simply plug the desired appliance into the receiver and the receiver into any outlet. A 

press of the button on the hand held transmitter, turns whatever you’ve plugged into the receiver on or off.

Channel Code Information

Three operating channels are available so you can control three separate systems at different locations in your home. Be sure to match common frequency 

channels, for those devices you want operated by the same switch.

INSTRUCTIONS

Notes: 

The total load of appliances connected to the Plug-in Receiver should not exceed 1200 

Watts or 10 Amps.
Do not use Plug-in Receiver to control appliance loads that may be dangerous to turn on 

remotely (i.e. power tools).
The Plug-in Receiver must be located within 100 feet of the Wall Transmitter.

A

 Press Switch to determine if your light/appliance turns on and off. If your light/appliance does 

not respond try relocating the transmitter or receiver. Large metal objects such as metal doors 

should not be in the way of the Transmitter and Plug-in Receiver since this could decrease the 

range of the RF signal.

A

 Attach transmitter to any key ring or place in a convenient location around the house.

OPERATION

Simply press the button on the Hand Held Transmitter to turn the light/appliance you’ve plugged 

into the Receiver on or off.
