Congratulations! You now have the convenience, exi-bility and security of The Clapper Plus. No other product allows you to control your lights and appliances by sound and RF (Radio Frequency) remote control. With The Clapper Plus, you can turn on or off up to two different appliances by clapping your hands. Clap two times to operate one appliance and three times to operate a different appliance. In addition to clapping, you can also turn on or off your appliances by pressing the buttons on the remote control. The Clapper Plus also has a special AWAY mode. In this mode almost any noise will turn on the connected appliance(s) which can be used as a limited function security device to discourage potential intruders. The AWAY mode is also great for temporarily turning on lights when entering a dark room such as a garage or basement. In this mode there is no need to clap or press any button -- any noise will turn on the lights! For QUICK INSTRUCTIONS on operating your Clapper Plus, please refer to the yellow Quick Tips card.— 2 —

— 5—HOW TO OPERATE AN APPLIANCE WITH 3 CLAPS:1. Slide the Home/Away switch to the Home position.2. Turn the dial up (Counter Clockwise) to the highest sensitivity setting(# 9). a. Adjust it down to reduce the Clapper from detecting unwanted noise.3. Plug an appliance into bottom receptacle (III) of the Clapper Plus. 4. Plug Clapper Plus into the wall socket.5. Make sure any power switches on the appliance or lamps are in the on position. 6. You can now turn your appliance on and off by clapping. You don’t have to clap very hard. The clapping sequence is more important than how loudly you clap:CLAP (pause) CLAP (pause) CLAP (pause)where each pause is approximately ½ second long. The last pause after the third clap is very important since the Clapper Plus must determine if you are not going to clap a fourth time. If you did clap a fourth time, the appliance would not activate.
— 6 —Clap Sensitivity You can adjust your Clapper Plus to respond to soft or loud claps, as well as adjust for the noise level in your room.By adjusting the sensitivity dial on the Clapper you can adjust the Clapper’s sensitivity to your claps and reduce detecting unwanted noise. Turning the dial fully counter clockwise(# 9) is the highest sensitivity. In this position the Clapper will detect soft claps. As you turn the dial clockwise the sensitivity is reduced. This give you control over the claps it will detect and help you reduce false activation due to external noises.Clap Detection LightsThe three red lights on the face of the Clapper Plus will help you determine the proper way to clap your appliances on or off. Each clap detection light will glow when a proper clap (or similar sound) is detected.Claps that are too soft will not be detected. Claps that are too fast together or too long apart will be rejected as noise and as a result the appliance will not turn on. When the Clapper Plus detects the rst clap the rst light will glow. The second light will glow if a second clap is detected about ½ second after the rst clap occurs. If the Clapper Plus does not detect a third clap, it will activate the
— 7—appliance attached to the “II Clap side.” If a third clap is detected, then the third light will glow and the appliance connected to the “III Clap Side” will activate.OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCES USING THE REMOTE CONTROLInstalling the remote switch battery 1.

— 12 — seconds and plug it back into the wall socket. ii. To reset the Remote remove and replace the battery. YOU CAN OPERATE UP TO 4 CLAPPER PLUS UNITS INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHEROverviewNormally, if you have a Clapper Plus in one room and a second Clapper Plus in the next room, the Remote Control(s) will control both units. To have the Clapper Plus units work independently, follow the instructions below:The Clapper Plus works with Radio Frequencies much like your TV. To operate multiple Clappers independently you need to set the Radio Frequency, “Channel”, for each Clapper Plus base units and also for its remote. Each Clapper Plus and its remote can be set to channel 1, 2, 3 or 4. When rst plugged in, the Clapper Plus unit start out set at channel 1. When the battery is put into the remote, the remote’s channel is also set to 1. Each Clapper Plus remote control has two buttons, Button II and Button III. These normally are used to control the
— 13—appliances (lamps) plugged into the Clapper Plus base unit, but when both are pressed at the same time, they are used to set the channels on the Remote and also send a signal to the Clapper Base unit to set its channel. SETTING CLAPPER PLUS CHANNELS STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Plug the Clapper into the wall socket where you want to use it. 2) Place the Home/Away switch into the AWAY position. In the Away Mode: a. The right LED will ash b. and appliances or lamps plugged into the Clapper they will turn on for 10 seconds. 3) Set the channel by pressing and releasing both buttons on the Remote Control at the same time. Press both 1, 2, 3 or 4 times depending on the Channel number you want to set. a. NOTE: When pressing the buttons on the remote, hold them down until you see all three Red lights on the Clapper Plus turn on, then release the buttons. 4) Place the Home/ Away switch to the HOME position and you are done.
— 14 —CONFIRMING THE CHANNEL SETTINGYou can conrm that the Clapper Base unit and the Remote are set to the correct channel. This is easy because it happens automatically each time you press one of the remote’s buttons. The Clapper Plus base will display (after 4 seconds) the channels by ashing the Red lights on the Clapper. To allow you to see which channel the Clapper Base and the remote are set at, the Clapper Red indicator lights ash once for each channel. For channel 1, the lights ash once, for Channel two the lights ash twice, etc. The Middle light shows the channel the Clapper Base is set atThe Right light shows the channel the Remote is set at. Example 1; Press, hold and release a remote button (wait 4 seconds) and if both the Middle and Right red lights ash three times, they are both set to channel 3. Example 2: If the Middle ashes 1 time and the Right Light ashes 2 times this means the Clapper Base is set for Channel 1 and the Remote is set for channel 2. (In this conguration the Remote will not control the Clapper Base. Unplugging the Clapper will reset the channel to 1.If you have more units to set, repeat steps 1 through 4.
— 15 —HINTS AND TIPS:1. Each time you start the channel setting process the Channel number starts at Channel 1. 2. If the Clapper is unplugged or there is a power fail in your home, the Clapper base will default base to channel 1. (But the remote will not) They will now be at different channels and not operate. 3. If the Clapper and Remote are not on the same channel. Just start over and set the channels as described above to get them working again.IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES1. Do not use The Clapper Plus with any electrical heating appliances such as toasters, hair dryers, coffee pots, etc.2. Do not use The Clapper Plus with any appliance that can create a re hazard with prolonged use.3. The maximum wattage for an appliance is 200 watts in either outlet. Do not exceed 400 watts total. 4) Do not plug the Clapper into a dimming circuit. This will damage the Clapper and is a re hazard.
