Easy Icon10RF

Yes, you can use more than one TM13 Transceiver in your home when the range of your remotes is not sufficient. The TM13 is using so called collision detection to prevent signals to be disturbed when more than one TM13 is transmitting. TM13’s will wait for a quite power line before transmitting their data. To prevent your Marmitek X-10 System to become slow or to prevent dimming from becoming less smooth, make sure that the TM13 units are placed as far away from each other as possible.

Press the

1. HOME key,
2. Setup,
3. More,
4. Advanced,
5. then KidSafe.

The first time you access the KidSafe menu you are asked if you want to set up a KidSafe Code. If you select Yes, enter a 4-digit code that you will easily remember but that your Kid(s) won’t be able to guess. After you enter a 4-digit code and press OK, you will see a screen that lets you pick a new KidSafe code, i.e., change it. And/or set the group of favourites that your Kids have access to. (The default group is Kids, but it will be greyed out if you haven’t set up that group.) You can press the Side Key next to Pick Favourites and choose a different favourites group that you want your Kids to have access to, e.g., any other favourites group that you’ve set up. After you’ve done this you now have the option to Turn KidSafe On. If you turn KidSafe On everything in the remote except access to the KidSafe group (and Volume/Mute keys) is locked out. If you try to access any other favourite group, change a setting, or access any forbidden menu, you are asked to enter the KidSafe code. You cannot continue unless you enter the correct KidSafe code.

The following are the guidelines that will help you use this feature:

a. Some functions from some types of remotes might not be able to be learned.

b. No functions may be learned under the HOME, MODE, FAVOURITES, HIS, or HERS (hard) keys.

c. Use fresh batteries for both the EASYICON10RF remote and your Original Remote.

d. Keep at least three feet away from incandescent or lowenergy lights when learning. (Ambient light can influence learning a great deal.)

e. Place the original remote end-to-end with the EASYICON10RF remote so the IR transmitter (at the top) on your original remote points at the IR learning device on the bottom of the EASYICON10RF Remote.

f. Keep the distance between the two remotes to approximately 1 inch.

g. Line up the remotes and then press the key you want to learn. To get the correct range, press the key on the remote you are learning and you will see a “red halo” around the transmit icon at the bottom left of the screen starts to flicker. The best range for learning is when it flickers most rapidly. Move the position of the 2 remotes to achieve this. (Slightly off center may improve the best learning.) Do not change this “best distance” between the two remotes until you have learned all the required keys.

h. When Learning, you should normally not release the key being learned until the display prompts you to do so. However, some keys might be learned multiple times if you do this. If this happens just “tap” the key you want to learn, rather than press and hold it. For example, keys that you normally hold down for a while (like volume up or down) will likely require a long press when learning. Keys that you normally give a quick press (like the numbers, and channel up/down) will likely require a quick press when learning. If after learning say the channel up key, you find that it changes multiple channels when pressed once, try relearning it with a short key press.

i. If learning the first or second keys results in continuous errors then try the following:

• Check the IR transmitters/sensors are correctly aligned between the two remotes.
• Adjust the distance between the two remotes to be closer (e.g., half an inch) or a further away (e.g., 2 inches) from each other.
• Try learning the original remote keys again.
• If problems reoccur with the same key, check the original remote button being learned – does it transmit? Does it operate the target device?

If some learned keys transmit multiple times, e.g., if a learned Channel Up key changes more than one channel when you press it, or Up/Down/Left/Right navigation keys move more than one step when you press the learned key; try just giving the key to be learned a quick press (when you learn it) rather than holding the key pressed until the screen displays Success.

No! The remote can be programmed without other devices.

No. The codes are preprogrammed. Just follow the instuctions on the screen to configure the remote.

When you use a remote or sensor, you should have at least one TM13 Transceiver or Marmitek X-10 Security Console installed in your house. These components will translate the radio signals to the Marmitek X-10 signal on the power line. Using several remotes and sensors, you only need one central transceiver.

• Program the remote with a new code.
• The remote may not be able to operate all the features of your product or key names might be different than your product. Try learning codes from your old remote.

Some types of TV, e.g., Philips flat panel TVs turn on and go to the selected channel when you press a channel number while the TV is off. So for this type of TV pressing a favourite key will do the same thing (but it might not work for 3-digit channels, e.g., 550).
