Plug your capability switch into this adapter and it will control any battery
powered; switch adapted device that is plugged into the receiver module. For
example, if a tape player is plugged into the receiver module, it can be turned
on/off by the switch of your choice. Receiver size: 6"L x 4"W x 2"H.
Transmitter size: 4"L x 2 1/2"W x 1"H. Receiver requires 4 AA Batteries and
Transmitter 2 AAA Batteries.
Operation:
1. Gently turn the Transmitter unit over to reveal the battery compartment
cover. Press and slide cover off. Observing polarity, install two AAA size
batteries into the holder. Alkaline batteries must be used only (e.g.
Duracell or Energizer brand). Do not use rechargeable batteries or any
other type of batteries because they supply lower voltage and the unit will
not perform properly.
2. Gently turn the Receiver unit over to reveal the black battery compartment.
Carefully remove the small screw from the battery compartment cover
using a Phillips head screwdriver, and slide the battery compartment cover
off. Observing polarity, install four AA size batteries into the holder.
Replace the battery compartment cover and replace the screw.
3. To setup plug your capability switch into the input jack on the Transmitter
module making sure there are no gaps between the connections. Please
Note: There is also a Test button on the Transmitter module with will
activate like you own switch. Use the Test button if you are in need of
troubleshooting the device. The Transmitter module must always be
aimed at the front of the Receiver module and vise versa to insure
proper activation of your device, regardless of where your switch is
positioned during use.
4. Plug one end of the supplied 1/8" to 1/8" cord into the Receiver module
device input jack. Turn the receiver ON (When not in use turn the receiver
OFF to prevent battery drain). Next set the receiver to 1 or the following 3
mode settings:
Momentary:
In this mode, the unit operates as a momentary switch. The toy or
device stays on as long as your switch is activated. One you release the
switch the toy or device will turn off.
Timed:
In this Mode, the unit operates as a timed switch. The toy or device will
run for a set amount of time (1-25 seconds) when your switch is
activated.
Latch:
In this mode, your switch operates as an On/Off Switch. The toy or
device turns On with the first activation is made and stays On until a
second activation is made. This will turn the toy or device off.
All 3 setting are achieved by setting the adjustable TIMER/LATCH dial on the
Receiver as follows:
Momentary: Turn the dial all the way counter-clockwise just before it clicks
into place.
Latch: Turn the dial all the way counter-clockwise until it clicks into place.
Timed: Turning the dial clockwise will increase the time a device or toy will
run. Turning the dial counter-clockwise decreases the time.
Important Note:
The Transmitter and Receiver need to be in line of sight and facing each other
as indicated on each module. If not your device will not work. Range of use is
between 20 to 30 feet.
