signals to send commands to the
Transceiver module. RF signals can go
right through walls, so you can use the
remote to control lights or appliances
from anywhere in your home.

Each Module has a specific address
made up of a House Code (red dial on
the face of the Module) and a Unit Code
(black dial on the face of the Module).

The Remote sends a wireless signal to a
Transceiver which retransmits it over the
AC wiring to the Module. Only the
Module with a matching address
executes the command. If more than one
Module has the same address, both
Modules execute the command.

Addresses are set on the Module by
turning the two dials on the front of the
Module to the desired letter and number
(using a small screwdriver or a coin). The
House Code is selected from the letters A
through P, and the Unit Code is selected
from the numbers 1 through 16.

The Transceiver Module (sold separately)
receives radio frequency (RF) commands
from the MP3 Remote to operate a lamp
or appliance plugged into it. The
Transceiver Module also passes on
commands over your house wiring to
control other X10 modules (also sold
separately). Note that unlike the Lamp
Module you cannot dim or brighten a
lamp connected to the Transceiver
Module.
