Connection to Radio

Connect the 1/8in (3.5mm) audio type plug on the cable into the back of the SWL IR Remote and 
the 6-pin DIN connector on the radio jack marked CAT.  You do not need to use a FIF-RS-232C 
Level Converter with the SWL IR Remote.  The baud rate is fixed at 4800 and cannot be 
changed.

Plug in the wall power supply and plug into the back of the SWL IR Remote control box.  The 
power connector is located on the back left hand side of the control unit.  The SWL IR Remote 
draws very little power and does not include or need a power switch.

Note:

 Turn off the FRG-8800 and then power the receiver from the Universal Remote.  If the 

FRG-8800 is turned on with the remote, it must be turned off with the remote.  The front panel of 
the FRG-8800 is disabled when the CAT interface is enabled; e.g. when the receiver has been 
turned on with the remote.  To restore front panel operation, turn off the FRG-8800 with the 
remote and power back on with the power button.

Level Converter Option

Plug the DB9 cable from your computer into the back of the SWL IR Remote if you have the 
SWL IR Remote version with the Level Converter option.  The default baud rate for the Level 
Converter option is 4800.
