SAFETY
Intended use
The devices which constitute this RF remote control switch set
are intended only for personal use in closed dry rooms. They
are not suitable for commercial use.
The RF remote control switch set is used for switching lamps
and electrical appliances on and off.
The devices may only be operated individually. Do not plug
multiple socket switches into each other.
Any other use is considered non-intended use. The manufac-
turer assumes no liability for damage caused by non-intended
use.
Operating manual
Read this operating manual through thoroughly before
using the device. Keep the operating manual in a safe
place. Should you pass on this device to another party be
sure to include the operating manual.
Basic safety instructions
Children are not aware of the dangers that may arise from im-
proper handling of electrical devices. Never allow children to
use electrical devices without supervision.
Risk of suffocation! Do not leave the packaging material lying
around. Children could swallow the small parts and choke on
them.
Plug the socket switches into conventional 220-240VAC/50Hz
Schuko sockets only.
Do not connect the socket switches to extension cables.
Only connect consumers which do not exceed the perform-
ance limits of the socket switches.
Do not connect consumers (for example irons) which could
cause fire or other damage if they are accidentally switched
on.
Do not connect consumers (for example refrigerators) which
require condenser motors.

Do not cover the socket switches. Heat builds up under the
cover. This poses a fire hazard.
Regularly check the devices for damage. Do not replace dam-
aged parts. Contact the manufacturer or dispose of the devic-
es in an environmentally friendly manner.
Do not touch the devices with wet hands.
To de-energise the socket switches disconnect them from the
mains supply.
Batteries must be handled with particular care.
Risk of explosion! Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable
batteries.
When the batteries are used up remove them from the battery
compartment and dispose of them in an environmentally
friendly manner.
Do not throw batteries into fires and never subject them to
high temperatures.
Do not open or short-circuit batteries.
Battery acid which leaks from a battery can cause skin irrita-
tions. In case of contact with skin rinse with plenty of water.
Do not rub your eyes if any liquid gets in them; rinse them
thoroughly with water and contact a doctor immediately.
If you are not using the batteries remove them to avoid dis-
charging.
WASTE DISPOSAL
Dispose of electrical devices in an environmentally
friendly manner!
Electrical devices do not belong in the household rubbish.
In accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on
waste electrical and electronic equipment old power tools must
be collected separately and sent to a proper recycling facility.
You can find out more about the options for disposing of used
devices from your local government or municipal authorities.
Risk of environmental damage from improper dis-
posal of batteries!

Preparations
Before you can use the devices you must:
insert the battery,
synchronise the radio channels between the remote control
and the socket switches and
assign an ON/OFF key pair on the remote control to a socket
switch.
Inserting the battery
Caution!
Observe the correct polarity of the battery. An incorrectly
inserted battery can cause material damage.

Press any key on the remote control (5). The function indica-
tor light (6) illuminates when the key is pressed.
If the function indicator light (6) does not light up when a
key is pressed the device is not receiving any power from
the battery. Check whether you have inserted the battery
correctly.
Synchronising the radio channels
Before using the devices for the first time the radio channels
must be synchronised to enable all socket switches to react to
the radio signal of the remote control.
Moreover, each socket switch must be assigned a frequency of
a key pair on the remote control to enable it to be operated
individually.
Adjust the DIP switches using a suitable object, for
instance a small screwdriver, by pushing them down or
up.
Setting a radio channel on the remote control
Remove the cover (8) of the battery compartment (10).
Set a radio channel using DIP switches 1 to 5 (11).
Close the battery compartment (10).

Connecting the devices
The remote control radio signal has a range of up to 25 m
(dependent on structural conditions).
The range can be affected by structural conditions (for
example reinforced concrete), electrical conditions (for
example electrical lines) or electromagnetic conditions
(for example telephones). If necessary remove the source
of interference or maintain a sufficient distance to the
source of interference.
To connect the socket switches:
plug the socket switches into sockets.
To connect the remote control:
insert the battery into the battery compartment (10).
OPERATION
Switching on a socket switch
Plug the socket switch (1) into a socket.
Plug the consumer into the Schuko socket (2).
Press the preset ON key (9), for example 'A', to switch on the
socket switch (1).
The function indicator light (6) illuminates whenever a key is
pressed. The function indicator light (4) illuminates.
Switching off a socket switch
Press the preset OFF key (7), for example 'A', to switch off
the socket switch (1).
The function indicator light (6) illuminates whenever a key is
pressed. The function indicator light (4) goes out.
