damage. Interference, interruptions or surges in the electrical system, or malfunction may cause plugged in devices to fail to operate as expected.

WARNING: Do not use any FREEWIRE product to control any medical device.

Using any FREEWIRE product to control any type of medical device could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use any type of plug adaptor with this product.

WARNING: Do not use a Bulb

Receiver, Lamp Receiver, Messenger

Hub or Outdoor Lamp Receiver to

control an appliance. Using a Bulb

Receiver, Lamp Receiver, Messenger

Hub or Outdoor Lamp Receiver to control an appliance could damage the appliance or the receiver, which could result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

WARNING: Do not use a Bulb Receiver or Lamp Receiver to control a lamp or

fixture that already has a dimmer on it.

Using a Bulb Receiver or Lamp Receiver to control a lamp or fixture that already has a dimmer on it could damage the lamp, fixture or receiver, which could result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

WARNING: Do not use any FREEWIRE product to control any device that exceeds the rating for that FREEWIRE

product. Using a FREEWIRE product to control a device that exceeds the rating

3 for that product could result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

The ratings for FREEWIRE products are as follows:

• BULB RECEIVER - 150 watts incandescent bulbs only.

• LAMP RECEIVER - 300 watts - lamps with incandescent bulbs only.

• MESSENGER HUB - 500 watts lamps with incandescent bulbs only.

• OUTDOOR LAMP RECEIVER - 500 watts - lamps with incandescent, fluorescent, halogen or low voltage bulbs only.

• APPLIANCE RECEIVER - 15 amp resistive load small appliances, 1/3HP motor load, 500 watts lamps with incandescent, fluorescent or halogen bulbs only, 400 watts for televisions.

• HARDWIRE SWITCH - 500 watts incandescent bulbs only.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, do not expose any FREEWIRE product to rain or

moisture. If a FREEWIRE product is exposed to rain or moisture, immediately disconnect the FREEWIRE product from the AC outlet to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire and consult authorized service personnel. NOTE: Outdoor Lamp

Hardwire Switch.

WARNING: Do not use any intercom or monitoring system, including a baby monitor, that uses the house wiring to transmit signals in permanent transmit

(or talk) mode when using FREEWIRE

products. Transmissions from an intercom or monitoring system that uses the house wiring to transmit signals could interfere or block out FREEWIRE transmissions in permanent transmit (or talk) mode. It is also possible that a neighbor's intercom or monitoring system could cause unexpected operation, including failure to operate, of your

FREEWIRE system, or that your

FREEWIRE SYSTEM could cause unexpected operation, including failure to

622715-00 Master Remote manual 2/4/04 9:17 AM Page 4 operate, of your neighbor’s intercom or monitoring system.

WARNING: If unintended operation of any FREEWIRE product is observed, unplug all FREEWIRE products immediately until (1) the source of the interference is identified and eliminated through selection of a different HOUSE CODE to ensure that neither system causes unintended operation of the other system or (2) a blocking filter, Black and Decker

Model number PZZ01, is installed. Call

1-888-678-7278 to order. Professional

installation recommended. If you cannot identify the source of interference by talking with neighbors who are using a

FREEWIRE or compatible system and you do not want to install a blocking filter, or if you have any questions about identifying or eliminating interference, please call 1-800-544-6986 before plugging in or using any FREEWIRE product.

Remember to exercise good common sense when using your FREEWIRE system - especially when attaching unattended appliances or devices to

the system. There can be unexpected consequences if FREEWIRE products are not used with care. For example, an empty coffee pot can be remotely turned on due to unintended operation or interference from a neighbor's

FREEWIRE or compatible system. If that should happen, your coffee pot could be damaged from overheating, which in turn could cause a fire or create a risk of electrical shock. As another example, if an electric heater is turned on unexpectedly while clothing is draped over it, a fire could result. Accordingly,

DO NOT USE the FREEWIRE system for the control of medical devices, heating appliances, such as portable heaters, or any other appliance or device that could cause physical injury or property damage if turned on or off while unattended.

Similarly, DO NOT USE the FREEWIRE system for the control of any appliance or device that could cause physical injury or property damage if it fails to operate as expected. Interference, interruptions or surges in the electrical system, or malfunction may cause plugged in appliances or devices to fail to operate as expected. For example, if a pipe heater controlled by a FREEWIRE system fails to operate as expected, the pipes could freeze and rupture. For these reasons, it is important to read, understand and follow all instructions in this manual, and to consider carefully the potential consequences of unattended or unexpected operation, or failure to operate, of an appliance or device before you attach it to a FREEWIRE system.

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 SYNCHRONIZATION?

When you first install your

Freewire units it is essential that you match up the wireless transmitters (Indoor Remote, Key

Chain Remote, Master Remote and Motion Detector) with the plugged in Messenger 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 Wireless

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

- this is the fast way to turn off all your Freewire units.

FREEWIRE OPERATION

NOTE: In order to use the

Freewire function of your

MASTER REMOTE your system must include a

MESSENGER HUB.

SYNCHRONIZING THE REMOTE

WITH THE MESSENGER HUB

A Quick Note Before You Set Up The

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 with the

MESSENGER HUB.

The function of the HOUSE CODE is to prevent interference from another

FREEWIRE system. If at any time, you experience interference with another system please choose another setting for your HOUSE CODE A - P. The letter selected must be the same on all

RECEIVERS and the MESSENGER

HUB.

Step 1:

Plug MESSENGER HUB into any operational AC outlet within your home.

Rotate antenna to the upright position.

Open the front door to expose control panel.

Step 2:

Select a HOUSE CODE on the

MESSENGER HUB, any letter A - P.

(Note: The house code you select for the

MESSENGER HUB will dictate what letter you will select for all of the UNITS you plan to control with this

MESSENGER HUB.)

Step 3:

Select a UNIT CODE on the

MESSENGER HUB, any number 1 - 16.

The number and corresponding color you pick will control the lamp outlet located on the underside of this MESSENGER

HUB. (If you select the same number and same house code for any additional

UNITS on this system they will operate in conjunction with this hub.)

Step 4:

SYNCHRONIZE your MASTER

REMOTE with your MESSENGER HUB so they understand how to communicate with each other. (Note: Any additional

12 remote that is introduced to the system must also be synchronized.)

NOTE: Your MASTER REMOTE is now

SYNCHRONIZED with your Freewire system and can now operate your

Freewire units. If you ever remove the remote’s batteries you may need to initialize and SYNCHRONIZE your remote again. See BATTERY

INSTALLATION section on page 8.

To SYNCHRONIZE, move the

MESSENGER HUB slide switch to

LEARN.

While facing the MESSENGER HUB, press and hold the middle “ON” button of the MASTER REMOTE for 5 seconds.

Be sure to see the green light flash on the MESSENGER HUB. The flash will indicate that the MASTER REMOTE is now synchronized with the

MESSENGER HUB.

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 only incandescent bulbs up to 500W. Be sure the Lamp has been turned on prior to plugging into MESSENGER HUB.

Press the Local Lamp “ON/OFF” button on the MESSENGER HUB to check that the MESSENGER HUB is operating correctly. You will hear a “click” when the

MESSENGER HUB turns this lamp on and off.

You are now ready to operate the lamp connected to this MESSENGER HUB with the MASTER REMOTE.

622715-00 Master Remote manual 2/4/04 9:18 AM Page 13

FREEWIRE OPERATION, cont.

ZONES

Open door to the MASTER REMOTE to expose the colored dial shown below.

USING FREEWIRE

FUNCTIONALITY

Step 1:

Set the dial on your MASTER REMOTE to the same UNIT CODE that you selected on the MESSENGER HUB.

Step 2:

Each of the 3 individual codes on that color can be turned on and off individually, using the 3 white ON/OFF buttons located just above the dial.

Example: Blue 11 - Controlled by the top row, left switch

Blue 12 - Controlled by the top row, center switch

Blue 13 - Controlled by the top row, right switch.

The small round ON button and OFF buttons shown below let you turn on or off ALL UNITS set to that color.

The numbers and colors on the MASTER

REMOTE dial match the numbers and colors on the MESSENGER HUB and other UNITS.

The colors on the dial for the UNIT

CODE can be used to divide your home into ZONES with up to 3 dedicated UNIT

CODES per ZONE (except red which only has one UNIT CODE.) (e.g. Green =

Living Room)

The numbers are used to differentiate one UNIT from another in each ZONE.

REFERENCE LABEL SET UP

For your convenience, a blank reference label is located on the back of your

MASTER REMOTE. Write your own customized applications on this label.

Example: Red UNIT CODES have been selected for the BULB RECEIVER in the

Entrance.

Gray UNIT CODES have been selected for the UNITS in the Dining Room.

Green UNIT CODES have been selected for the UNITS in the Living Room etc.

You should now be able to turn the lamp on and off with the corresponding button on the MASTER REMOTE.

Note: You may have to press and momentarily hold the button before it activates.

FREEWIRE OPERATION, cont.

GROUPS

A Quick Note before You Program the

Group Settings:

The purpose of the GROUP buttons are to link multiple UNITS (up to 4) so that they can be turned on or off by the

GROUP buttons.

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 RECEIVER in 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 GROUP.

Step 1:

With the MESSENGER HUB still plugged into an AC outlet, set the slide switch to

LEARN.

Step 2:

While facing the MESSENGER HUB, press GROUP 1 ON switch on the

MASTER REMOTE. The MESSENGER

HUB’s green indicator light will flash.

Step 3:

Set the UNIT CODE dial on the MASTER

REMOTE to match the UNIT CODE on the LAMP RECEIVER that you want to turn on and off. Press on the rocker switch corresponding to that LAMP

RECEIVER. Wait for the MESSENGER

HUB indicator to flash indicating the code has been stored in the GROUP function.

Step 4:

Repeat step 3 a maximum of 3 more times to link up to 4 LAMP RECEIVERs /

BULB RECEIVERs with that GROUP 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. The

ON/OFF button of GROUP1 will now turn on and off all of the LAMP RECEIVERs /

BULB RECEIVERs that were linked in

Step 4. There may be up to a 3 second delay between the time that you press the button and the time that the lights respond.

Step 6:

To set up GROUP 2 key, repeat steps 1 thru 5 substituting GROUP 2 key for

GROUP 1.

NOTE: Pressing either GROUP ON key

14 while in LEARN mode clears all stored codes for that GROUP.

CAMERA OPERATION

See the setup instructions that come with

Freewire MONITORING CAMERAS and follow the instructions to install your first camera. As soon as you install your first camera and connect the receiver to your

TV, you will see a picture on your TV (the camera powers up in the ON state when you first plug it in). You can then try it out with the MASTER REMOTE, as described below, to see that you can turn it off and on by remote control, before continuing with the installation of additional cameras.

Freewire cameras work like regular

Freewire units so you can turn them on and off by using the dial on the remote to select the color and number for the power supply that the camera is connected to, and then press the ON and

OFF buttons above the colored wheel to turn the selected camera on and off.

You can install more than one camera.

The cameras transmit images to the same receiver that’s connected to your

TV. You must ensure that you have only one camera turned on at the same time.

We recommend that the cameras are set up in a single ZONE (up to 3 cameras per ZONE.) When first installing multiple cameras it is necessary to turn off each camera before installing additional cameras. Failure to do this will result in multiple images being transmitted to your

TV at the same time which will result in a layered or garbled image. When you turn on one of the cameras in the zone, any camera in that zone that was presently on automatically turns off.

NOTE: Additional cameras (up to 3) can be set up in a different ZONE. However, it is necessary to turn off cameras in one

ZONE before selecting cameras in another ZONE.

Installing cameras in sets of three in the same ZONE lets you use the Camera

Scan button. To use this feature you first turn on any camera in the selected zone, using one of the three ON buttons above the color wheel, then press the Scan forward button. Each time you press the

Scan button the next camera in the selected color turns on (and the previously on camera in that zone automatically turns off).

DIFFICULTY PROGRAMMING

RECEIVERS

If you are experiencing problems when programming the BULB RECEIVER or

OUTDOOR LAMP RECEIVER, it may be due to electrical interference on the power lines caused by large appliances such as refrigerators or TV’s. To avoid the interference, move the RECEIVER and the MESSENGER HUB while it is being programmed to a different wall outlet that is further away from large appliances.

SOME RECEIVERS DON’T RESPOND

Most houses are fed from a 240 volt service which is then split into two phases of 120 volts each in the circuit breaker panel. The most commonly encountered problem with systems which use the existing house wiring to transmit signals is that the signals are received by some Receivers, 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

Receiver to be controlled is on the opposite phase of the house wiring to the phase which the MESSENGER HUB is connected to. If some of the Receivers are not working it may be necessary to:

•move the Receiver to a different wall

15

TROUBLESHOOTING, cont.

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 the Receiver that is not working.

RECEIVERS TURN ON BY

THEMSELVES

If it is suspected that Receivers have turned on or off by themselves, it is possible that a neighbor has a

FREEWIRE or compatible system, which could result in unexpected operation of both systems. Unplug all FREEWIRE devices immediately until (1) the interference is identified and eliminated through selection of a different HOUSE

CODE to ensure that neither system causes unintended operation of the other system or (2) a blocking filter, Black and

Decker Model number PZZ01, is installed. Call 1-888-678-7278 to order.

Professional installation recommended. If you cannot identify the source of interference by talking with neighbors who are using a FREEWIRE or compatible system and you do not want to install a blocking filter, or if you have any questions about identifying or eliminating interference, please call 1-

800544-6986 before plugging in or using any FREEWIRE device.

THREE WAY BULBS

Three way bulbs may be used, however, only one level of brightness can be activated using the Freewire system. To change brightness level you 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 lamp’s switch. Turning the lamp switch off and then sending a

Freewire signal within 30 seconds of power being applied to the lamp, will cause the BULB RECEIVER to go into program mode and will need to be reprogrammed.

INTERCOM AND MONITORING

SYSTEMS

Intercom and monitoring systems, including baby monitors, that use the house wiring to transmit signals can

“block out” FREEWIRE transmissions while the intercom or monitoring system is in “permanent transmit” or “talk” mode.

622715-00 Master Remote manual 2/4/04 9:18 AM Page 16

It is NOT possible to have a wireless intercom or monitoring system and a

MESSENGER HUB operating in the same house. It is possible that a neighbor’s wireless intercom or monitoring system could cause unexpected operation, including failure to operate, of your FREEWIRE system, or that your FREEWIRE SYSTEM could cause unexpected operation, including failure to operate, of your neighbors intercom or monitoring system.

KEY CHAIN REMOTE RANGE OF USE

Placing the MESSENGER HUB on the inside wall closest to driveway or entry way, will often maximize range of KEY

CHAIN REMOTE.

LIGHTS CONTROLLED BY HARDWIRE

SWITCH WILL NOT TURN ON

If your HARDWIRE SWITCH does not turn on the light you have chosen it to control it may be necessary to:

•Check to make sure that the HOUSE

CODE dial is set to the same HOUSE

CODE you have chosen for your

MESSENGER HUB.

WARNING: Disconnect the power at the circuit breaker / fuse panel. To avoid fire or electric shock turn OFF power at the circuit breaker / fuse panel. Test that the power is OFF before proceeding.

•Check to make sure that bulb changing slide switch is in the ON (right) position.

“FALSE” TRIGGERING OF THE

MOTION DETECTOR

All motion detectors work by detecting a change in temperature, for instance, when a warm body passes by. Therefore they can be tripped by changes in temperature, such as when clouds pass over the sun on a sunny day. MOTION

DETECTORS should not be installed in direct sunlight or over heating or air conditioning vents. They can also be inadvertently tripped by birds and animals but will not likely be tripped by moths or insects.

MOTION DETECTOR WILL NOT

TRANSMIT ON/OFF SIGNAL

If your MOTION DETECTOR does not appear to be sending an ON/OFF signal to your chosen device it may be necessary to:

•Check the orientation of the installed batteries.

•Check to make sure that the UNIT

CODE dial is set to the same UNIT

CODE as the device you have chosen to control. For example, if the LAMP

16

TROUBLESHOOTING, cont.

RECEIVER controlling the lamp that you want the MOTION DETECTOR to activate is set to Blue 12, the dial on your MOTION DETECTOR must also be set to Blue 12.

•Move the MOTION DETECTOR to a different location. Motion can be detected within 20 feet with the

MOTION DETECTOR mounted 6 feet off the ground.

THE MOTION DETECTOR

CONTROLLED LIGHT, APPLIANCE OR

CAMERA DOES NOT STAY ON LONG

ENOUGH

The default time on your MOTION

DETECTOR is 1 minute but you can change this time by turning the OFF

TIME DELAY dial.
