DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THIS MANUAL
What is the UNIT CODE?
The unit code allows you to assign a number (1 - 16) to any Freewire unit in your home system. For
example, if you assign the unit code number 5 to a Lamp Receiver, the lamp will turn on and off when you
activate the number 5 on your Freewire remote control. If you want a multiple of Lamp Receivers to
respond to a single number on your remote, there is no problem with setting them all to the same unit code
number.
What is the HOUSE CODE?
The house code prevents interference with other Freewire systems that may be in your neighborhood.
When you set your house code to a letter (A - P) you are choosing a distinct communication language
between all parts of your Freewire system. It is essential that all units in your Freewire system are set to
the same house code letter for it to operate correctly.
What is the Remote Control SYNCHRONIZATION?
When you first install your Freewire units it is essential that your match up the wireless Remote Controls
(Indoor Remote and Keychain Remote) with the plugged in Receiver Hub. This will synchronize their
wireless communication in a distinct way that prevents interference with other Freewire systems that may
be in your neighborhood.
Why are there COLOR SEGMENTS on the unit code wheels?
The six colors (or zones) help you to allocate unit codes to various parts of your house. For example, if you
wanted to control three plug in lamps in your living room you might allocate them the unit code numbers 5,
6 and 7 which are part of the green segment (green zone). Green becomes a quick reference to controlling
those lamps from your remote control.
What are GROUPS?
Groups are shortcut buttons to operating any combination of up to four receiver unit codes. For example,
you may wish to create a 'welcome home' group control. If you had your entrance light(s) set to 1, your hall
lamp set to 5, your living room lamp set to 8 and your kitchen light set to 11 they could all be turned on/off
by a single group key. It is essential to first program the group with the Messenger Hub and Indoor Remote
before you can use this function.
What does the HOUSE button do?
When you press HOUSE ON all the Lamp Receivers and the Messenger Hub in your Freewire system will
turn on (for safety reasons, it will not turn on appliance receivers). When you press HOUSE OFF any unit
in your Freewire system will turn off (both lamp and appliance receivers) - this is fast way to turn off all your
Freewire units.
