Setting Up X10 Devices
The IR27A IconRemote - coupled with other X10 Home
Automation Modules - gives you the ability to control every-
thing electrical in your home. Once you set up your remote, you
can control most any electrical device
from the remote, using the buttons that
have been configured for X10 Home
Automation Modules.
Description
X10 Home Automation systems use
three types of signals - Infrared (IR),
Radio Frequency (RF), and Power Line
Carrier (PLC). The IR27A remote can
send either IR or RF signals depending on how you’ve set up
the remote to control different equipment.
The following example describes how to set up your TV for
RF control. (Setting your TV for IR control is described on
page 10.)

• The

screen appears; select the
Device you want to set for RF by
pressing its side key. (In this example,
it’s TV.) The RF symbol appears on
the TV icon.
Note:

Mode you will notice that the transmit
signals at the bottom of the screen are
now

. This indicates that it is
sending RF to the TV. If the signals are in
Red
, it means that the remote is transmit-
ting IR.

Enter “E” key) to confirm your new name.
You can continue to add favorites, up to
a total of 10 (You can add more later; see
page 37.) At screen (6) you choose if the
favorites you just set up are stored in the
“His” group or the “Hers” group. Later
you can set up favorites in lots of
different Groups, not just His and Hers.
Selecting His takes you to screen (7)
showing that you now have NBC set as
the first favorite in the His Group (at the
location next to Side Key K1), as well as
any other favorites you set up. (Note,
you can reorder, i.e., move the positions
of the logos later).
When you’re finished setting up your
favorites, press the
HOME
key (located
to the left below the screen) to go back
to the Home screen.
At any time you can press the
FAVORITE
key
and then select His, or press the His key
at the top left hand side of the remote to
go to screen (7) above. Pressing the key
next to the NBC logo will (in this case)
change the channel on your Cable box to
NBC (in this case channel 4).
