4PLEASE FOLLOW THE SEQUENCE LAID OUT IN THIS MANUAL TO AVOID CONFUSIONStep by step instructions to set up the MESSENGER HUB:A Quick Note Before You Set Up MESSENGER HUB:WARNING: For indoor use only.Each receiver has a specific address made up of a HOUSE CODE (bottom dial) and a Unit Code (upper dial) which is used to communicate withthe MESSENGER HUB. The function of the HOUSE CODE is to prevent interference from another FREEWIRE system. If at any time, you experience interference withanother system please choose another setting for your HOUSE CODE A - P. The letter selected must be the same on all RECEIVERS and theMESSENGER HUB.Step 1:Plug MESSENGER HUB into any operational AC outlet within your home. Rotateantenna to the upright position. Open the front door to expose control panel asshown in Figure 1. NOTE: Placing the MESSENGER HUB on the inside wallclosest to driveway or entry way, will often maximize range of the KEY CHAINREMOTE.Step 2:Select a HOUSE CODE on the MESSENGER HUB, any letter A- P. (Note: Thehouse code you select for the MESSENGER HUB will dictate what letter you willselect for all of the RECEIVERS you plan to control with this MESSENGER HUB.)Step 3:Select a UNIT CODE on the MESSENGER HUB, any number 1 - 16. The numberand corresponding color you pick will control the lamp outlet located on theunderside of this MESSENGER HUB. (If you select the same number and same house code for any additionalreceivers on this system they will operate in conjunction with this hub.) Step 4:Synchronize your INDOOR REMOTE with your MESSENGER HUB so they understand how to communicate with each other. (Note: Anyadditional remote that is introduced to the system must also be synchronized.) To synchronize, move the MESSENGER HUB slide switch to LEARN. While facing the MESSENGER HUB, press and hold any “ON” button of the INDOOR REMOTE for 5seconds - Figure 2. Be sure to see the green light flash on the MESSENGER HUB. The flash will indicatethat the MESSENGER HUB is now synchronized with the INDOOR REMOTE.Now, move the slide switch on the MESSENGER HUB to RUN. (Note: Door cannot be closed while MESSENGER HUB is in the LEARN mode.) Step 5:Turn lamp on first, then plug into the receptacle on the underside of the MESSENGER HUB. Use onlyincandescent bulbs up to 500W. Be sure the Lamp has been turned on prior to plugging into MESSENGERHUB.Press the Local Lamp “ON/OFF” button on the MESSENGER HUB to check that the MESSENGER HUB isoperating correctly.

Step by step instruction to operate the INDOOR REMOTE:A Quick Note before You Set Up the INDOOR REMOTE:WARNING: For indoor use only.Open door to the INDOOR REMOTE to expose the colored dial shown in Figure 3.The numbers and colors on the INDOOR REMOTE's dial match the numbers and colors on the MESSENGER HUBand LAMP RECEIVERS. The colors on the dial for the Unit Code can be used to divide your home into zones with up to 3 dedicated UnitCodes per color (except red which only has one Unit Code.) (eg. Green = Living Room) The numbers are used to differentiate one receiver from another in each color/zone.Reference Label Set UpFor your convenience, a blank reference label is located on the back of your INDOOR REMOTE. Write your owncustomized applications on this blank key. Figure 4:Example: Red Unit Codes have been selected for the BULB RECEIVER in the EntranceGray Unit Codes have been selected for the RECEIVERS in the Dining RoomGreen Unit Codes have been selected for the RECEIVER in the Living Room etc.NOTE: The top button on the KEY CHAIN REMOTE will only activate UNIT CODE 1(RED). We recommend thatyou control the lighting near your entrance way by UNIT CODE 1(Red ) so that it can be activated by your KEYCHAIN REMOTE. See KEY CHAIN REMOTE instructions on page 8 for further instructions.Step 1:Set the dial on your INDOOR REMOTE to the same UNIT CODE (color) that you selected on the MESSENGER HUB in the previous section. Step 2:Each of the 3 individual codes on that color can be turned on and off individually, using the 3 white ON/OFF buttonslocated just below the dial as shown in Figure 5.Example: Gray 2 - Controlled by the top row, left switch Gray 3 - Controlled by the top row, center switch Gray 4 - Controlled by the top row, right switch.The small round ON button and OFF button shown in Figure 6 allow you to turn on or off all RECEIVERS set tothat color.

Step by step operating instructions for the BULB RECEIVERA Quick Note before You Set Up the BULB RECEIVERs:The BULB RECEIVER can be used indoors and outdoors.WARNING: To keep rain out when used outdoors, mount the BULB RECEIVER in the orientation shown in Figure 10.Unlike LAMP and APPLIANCE RECEIVERS the BULB RECEIVER does not have any code wheels. You set its code upfrom the MESSENGER HUB and it then remembers this code, even after a power outage. For ease of programming, initiallyplace the BULB RECEIVER in a lamp that can be set up in the same wall outlet that the MESSENGER HUB is plugged into.After programming you can move it to its final location (in an outdoor light fixture for example).Step 1:Make sure the lamp is turned to the “ON” position and then it must be unplugged! Unscrew your existing light bulbfrom its socket and screw the BULB RECEIVER into the light socket as shown in Figure 11. CAUTION: BULBRECEIVER raises the bulb approximately two inches. If bulb touches lamp shade or lamp frame, you must purchase ashorter bulb to use this lamp. Screw an incandescent light bulbs only (up to 150W) into the BULB RECEIVER. DO NOTuse with fluorescent lamps. Step 2:Set the unit code on the INDOOR REMOTE to the color and number that you want to use to control the BULB RECEIVERin its final location. (Example : Red 1) Step 3:Plug the lamp into the same wall outlet as the MESSENGER HUB or you can move the MESSENGER HUB andplug into the same wall outlet as the lamp. (The Messenger Hub will not lose its memory and it can be movedback later.) See Figure 12. Within 30 seconds of plugging lamp in, press and hold for 5 seconds the on button on the INDOOR REMOTE thatcorresponds to the UNIT CODE that you have selected. The light should turn on.NOTE: If the light does not turn on in 5 seconds, unplug the lamp and then re-plug and repeat step 3. If lamp stilldoes not turn on, move the MESSENGER HUB and lamp to a different outlet in a different room and repeat step 3.Step 4:If you wish to use the BULB RECEIVER in a different lamp, unplug lamp, remove bulb and BULB RECEIVER.Place BULB RECEIVER in new lamp. BULB RECEIVER will remember unit code setting that was established instep 3.BULB RECEIVER NOTES:• You must leave the lamp switch or wall switch on at all times otherwise the BULB RECEIVER will have no AC power and you won’t be able to control it remotely.• The BULB RECEIVER does not have local control (you cannot turn the light on from its regular switch).• The BULB RECEIVER does not respond to bright and dim commands. It does respond to ALL lights On and ALL units Off commands.NOTE: When using the BULB RECEIVER, you cannot control the lamp by the lamps switch. Turning the lamp switch off will cause the BULBRECEIVER to go into program mode and will need to be reprogrammed. See page 7.1011712Home Auto Manual large NEWEST 4/24/03 3:40 PM Page 7
Step by step instruction to developing MOOD SETTINGSA Quick Note before You Program the Mood Settings:In the Lamp Receiver section you learned how to set up individual LAMP RECEIVERs. These LAMP RECEIVERs are turned on and off bypressing the appropriate rocker switch that corresponds to the receivers unique UNIT CODE. The purpose of the MOOD buttons (blue) are to linkmultiple receivers (up to 4) so that they can be turned on or off by the MOOD button. See Figure 16.Example: If you have a LAMP RECEIVER in one room and it is set to the number 7 on its UNIT CODE and you have another LAMP RECEIVERin another room and it is set up to the number 13 on its UNIT CODE, the two lamps can be turned on at the same time using a MOOD. Step1:With the MESSENGER HUB still plugged into an AC outlet, set the slide switch to LEARN as shown in Figure 15. Step 2:While facing the MESSENGER HUB, press MOOD 1 ON switch on the INDOOR REMOTE. Figure 16 -The MESSENGER HUB’s green indicator light will flash.Step 3:Set the UNIT CODE dial of the INDOOR REMOTE to match the UNIT CODE of the LAMP RECEIVERthat you want to turn on and off. Press on the rocker switch (white) corresponding to that LAMPRECEIVER as shown in Figure 17. Wait for the MESSENGER HUB indicator to flash indicating the codehas been stored in the MOOD function.Step 4:Repeat step 3 a maximum of 3 more times to link up to 4 LAMP RECEIVERs / BULB RECEIVERs withthat MOOD key. The 4 LAMP RECEIVERs can be in any combination of UNIT CODES.Step 5:Return the slide switch on the MESSENGER HUB to RUN - Figure 18. The ON/OFF button of MOOD1 will now turnon and off all of the LAMP RECEIVERs / BULB RECEIVERs that were linked in Step 4. There may be up to a 3 seconddelay between the time that you press the button and the time that the lights respond.Step 6:To set up MOOD 2 key, repeat steps 1 thru 5 substituting MOOD 2 key for MOOD 1.NOTE: Pressing either MOOD ON key while in LEARN mode clears all stored codes for that MOOD.Using ALL on, ALL off House ButtonPressing the INDOOR REMOTE HOUSE BUTTON (figure 19) on and off will activate the MESSENGER HUB and ALL theLAMP RECEIVERs / BULB RECEIVERs set to the system’s HOUSE CODE. 8MOOD 2MOOD 1 HOUSEONOFFONOFFONOFF16ON ON ONON OFF34675981718HOUSEONOFF15ONOFFONOFFONOFFON OFF2345MOOD 2MOOD 1 HOUSEONOFFONOFFONOFFUnit Code DialHouse Code DialRun / Learn Slide SwitchRocker SwitchMood Button House ButtonRocker Switch13 1419Home Auto Manual large NEWEST 4/24/03 3:40 PM Page 8

TROUBLESHOOTINGDIFFICULTY PROGRAMMING RECEIVERSIf you are experiencing problems when programming the BULB RECEIVER, it may be due to electrical interference on the power lines causedby large appliances such as refrigerators or TV’s. To avoid the interference, move the Receiver while it is being programmed to a different walloutlet that is further away from large appliances.SOME RECEIVERS DON’T RESPOND Most houses are fed from a 220 volt service which is then split into two phases of 110 volts each in the circuit breaker panel. The mostcommonly encountered problem with systems which use the existing house wiring to transmit signals is that the signals are received by someReceivers, but not by others. For example, the MESSENGER HUB controls some lights but not others or controls some lights intermittently.This can happen sometimes when the Receiverto be controlled is on the opposite phase of the house wiring to the phase which theMESSENGER HUB is connected to.If some of the Receivers are not working it may be necessary to:• move the Receiver to a different wall outlet to test that it works.If it still doesn’t work:• move the Receiver to a different room. If it still doesn’t work:• move the Receiver to the closest outlet that the MESSENGER HUB is plugged into or move the MESSENGER HUB to the closest outlet to theReceiver that is not working.RECEIVERS TURN ON BY THEMSELVES If it is suspected that Receivers have turned on by themselves, the first step should be to change the HOUSE CODE on the MESSENGERHUB and all Receivers. It is possible that a neighbor has the same system or another compatible system.THREE WAY BULBS AND TOUCH ACTIVATED LAMPSCAUTION: Touch activated lamps should not be used with LAMP RECEIVERS or BULB RECEIVERS, damage to lamp may occur.Three way bulbs may be used, however, only one level of brightness can be activated using the Freewire system. To change brightness levelyou will need to turn the switch at the lamp to the desired level of brightness. NOTE: When using the BULB RECEIVER, you cannot control the lamp by the lamps switch. Turning the lamp switch off will cause the BULBRECEIVER to go into program mode and will need to be reprogrammed. See page 7.WIRELESS INTERCOMSIntercom systems which use the house wiring to transmit can “block out” FREEWIRE transmissions while the intercom is left in the permanenttransmit (talk) mode.It is NOT possible to have a wireless intercom and a MESSENGER HUB operating in the same house. It is possible that aneighbor’s wireless intercom could affect your system.KEY CHAIN REMOTE RANGE OF USEPlacing the MESSENGER HUB on the inside wall closet to driveway or entry way, will often maximize range of KEY CHAIN REMOTE.SOME DON’TS•Don’t use a LAMP RECEIVER to control a lamp or fixture which already has a dimmer on it.•Don’t leave a wireless intercom or baby monitor in the permanent transmit (or talk) mode. Its transmissions could “block out” FREEWIREtransmissions.•Don’t exceed the rating of the Receivers, these are:• BULB RECEIVER - 150 watts - incandescent bulbs only.• LAMP RECEIVER - 300 watts - incandescent bulbs only.• MESSENGER HUB - 500 watts - incandescent bulbs only.10Home Auto Manual large NEWEST 4/24/03 3:40 PM Page 10
