Before Getting Started

This quick start guide is designed to get you up and running in

a matter of minutes and controlling a plug-in lamp and your TV

by touchscreen within an hour (sorry, but you’ll have to provide

the TV and lamp). Appendix B contains a diagram of what the

system looks like when everything is connected.

Installing the Lamp Module

1. Unpack the “Open Me First” Box, preferably onto a con-

venient, large table (a coffee table usually works well).

2. Locate the Lamp Module.

3. Make sure the dials on the Lamp module are set to

Housecode C and Unitcode 1. If not, use a small

screwdriver to adjust to these settings.

4. Locate a plug-in table lamp (or other similar lamp).

5. Make sure that the lamp is on and unplug it from the

wall outlet.

6. Plug the lamp into the outlet on the bottom of the Lamp

Module.

5. Plug the Lamp Module into a convenient outlet. (note:

the lamp will remain off, make sure you do not switch

the lamp off manually or the touchscreen will not be

able to control it).

Installing TouchLinc

1. Locate TouchLinc (#1121B) and the black Single Cord

Solution (#1141, looks like a phone cord).

2. Plug the end of the Single Cord Solution that has no

additional adapter near it into the phone-style jack on the

back of TouchLinc.

3. Locate the Power Line Interface (#1131).

4. Plug the phone-style jack on the other end of the Single

Cord Solution into the bottom of the Power Line Interface.

5. Plug the Power Line Interface directly into a wall outlet,

behind the couch usually works well (it is possible that

TouchLinc will not work properly if plugged into a power-

strip). The red LED will illuminate.

6. Locate the 12V DC Power Supply.

7. Plug a power supply jack into the female adapter on the

Single Cord Solution.

8. Plug the 12V DC Power Supply into a convenient outlet.

9. Upon plugging in the power supply, your TouchLinc’s

green LED should illuminate and a version number will

appear on the screen.

10. Touch anywhere on the screen to bring up the “DeskTop”

menu (this is the top level menu).

Using TouchLinc to Remotely Control Your Lamp

1. Press the “Lights” Icon on the TouchLinc DeskTop to

bring up the Lighting submenu (hint: use the tip of your

finger or fingernail).

2. To turn your light ON - Press and RELEASE the left-

hand side of the “LAMP 1” label.

Upon your release of the touchscreen, TouchLinc will beep, your lamp should turn

on and a small, round icon should appear to the left of the “Lamp 1” label. This icon

appears when TouchLinc turns your lamp on. (If your lamp does not turn on after

several tries, try moving the lamp module and lamp into a different outlet and then

retry turning on the lamp. If necessary contact SmartLinc Technical Support at

888.540.9955 x157.)

4. To DIM your light - Press and HOLD the right-hand side

of the “LAMP 1” label.

5. To BRIGHTEN your light - Press and HOLD the left-

hand side of the “LAMP 1” label.

6. To turn your light OFF - Press and RELEASE the right-

hand side of the “LAMP 1” label.

At this point the Temporary Programming Cable will remain unused. Keep it handy as you will

need it soon to control your TV.

clear line-of-sight between the front of HouseLinc and

your TV (HouseLinc is a remote control just like the

ones that came with your TV and it needs to “see” your

TV to operate it). Usually, placing HouseLinc on top of

your TV or entertainment center facing you will work

(make sure the front plate of HouseLinc is as far forward

as possible).

3. Locate the Power Line interface (#1131) and the associ-

ated data cable (gray phone cord).

4. Plug one end of the data cable into jack labeled “X10

Port” on the back of HouseLinc and the other end into

the bottom of the Power Line Interface.

5. Plug the Power Line Interface directly into a wall outlet

(HouseLinc may not operate correctly if plugged into a

power-strip). The red LED will illuminate.

6. Locate the 12V DC Power Supply.

7. Plug the power supply jack into the jack labeled “Power”

on the back of HouseLinc.

8. Plug the 12V DC power supply into a convenient outlet.

APPENDIX A

IR Setup Codes

HouseLinc can control any infrared controllable device that can be con-

trolled by a Universal Electronics One-For-All 8 remote control.

Unfortunately, there is no exhaustive list of exact devices that can be con-

trolled. However, the following list contains those manufacturers that have

at least one device controllable for the various types of audio/video and

other equipment. The 3-digit numbers that follow the manufacturers' names

represent the different setup codes for that manufacturer's devices.

Therefore, in general, the more codes, the more devices that can be con-

trolled. Please contact SmartLinc technical support (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

PST) for assistance at 888.540.9955 x157.

TV Setup Codes

9. The green status light on HouseLinc should begin to

blink (this is to warn you that there is no battery

installed).

10. (Optional) Install a 9V DC battery into the compartment

on the bottom of HouseLinc, and the green status light

should stop blinking. The battery is used only to keep

HouseLinc’s built-in clock accurate during power out-

ages.

Testing Your HouseLinc Installation

6. Repeat from Step 1 for your Receiver and CD Player

(using IR Out 2).

Installing the SmartLinc Suite

To add additional lighting and appliances, and to fully cus-

tomize the home theater kit for your home theater equipment,

you will need to install SmartLinc’s software onto your PC.

Requirements include:

1. A 386 or better computer running Windows 3.1/95/98.

2. A 9-pin COM port on your computer (for download and

direct control only). If your computer has only a 25-pin

port, you will need to acquire a 25-pin-to-9-pin adapter.

To install the SmartLinc Suite:

1. Insert the floppy labeled 1 of 3 into your A: drive.

2. Run a:\setup.exe.

3. Follow the installation wizard’s instructions. You will be

prompted to insert disks 2 and 3.

4. If you had previous versions of SmartLinc software on

your PC:

a) If you had a previous version of TouchLinc setup

software, copy all your TouchLinc Files (.TLF) to

your new SmartLinc Suite directory (c:\smartlnc, if

you accepted the default during installation).

b) If you had a previous version of Multi-House-

Manager installed, from the Program menu on the

Start Button (assuming Windows 95/98) select

SmartLinc Suite and launch Multi-House Manager.

Then import (Import Config from the File menu) all

your old MHM files from your old subdirectory (prob-

ably PlatoTW).

5. At this point you will need to refer to the TouchLinc and

HouseLinc manuals to change the current programming

or add programming to your setup.

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Using TouchLinc to Control Your TV

1. Press ‘Desktop’ to return to the desktop.

2. You are now ready to set up HouseLinc to control your

specific TV (use these same procedures to setup and

control your VCR, CD Player and Receiver).

4. Press ‘ABC’. If all is functioning properly, your TV

should turn on, and after a short power-up delay, should

tune to channel 7 (the channel on which we’ve

assumed ABC is located; you will need to re-program in

HouseLinc if this is not correct for your area). Next your

other A/V equipment

(VCR, Receiver, CD Player)

should turn off (if they were on). If the desired results

are not acheived, confirm that each of the LEDs on the

your A/V equipmnt. Because of subtle differences in

A/V equipment, these events may need to be adjusted

in the HouseLinc software.

5. Press ‘CBS’. The TV should remain on, but change to

channel 2. with no changes to your other A/V gear.

Installing EmitterLincs

Your SmartLinc Home Theater Kit comes with stick-on infrared

emitters that allow you to “hardwire” the infrared control sig-

nals between HouseLinc and your home theater equipment.

Assuming that you have easy line-of-sight between HouseLinc

and your equipment, installation of these emitters is optional.

1. Locate one of the EmitterLincs (#1109).

2. Plug the mini-jack into the jack labeled “IR Out 1”.

3. Locate the IR “input window” on your TV (or other A/V

device ), usually behind a red plastic window.

emitter, and affix it on the IR “input window” on your TV

(you will still be able to use your standard remote con-

trol as this device allows IR signals to pass thru it).

5. Place the 2nd emitter on your VCR.

puts TouchLinc in the proper mode to control your TV

(when the box around ‘TV’ is bold, you are in TV mode).

14. Press the “buttons” on the remote control just like you

would use a standard remote control to control your TV

(note: the ‘play’, ‘pause’ and other buttons on this

remote control may not be functional for your TV).

15. Press ‘Return’ to return to the DeskTop.

16. Return to Step 4 to set up TouchLinc to control your

VCR, CD Player and Receiver.

Note: The SmartLinc Home Theater Kit is capable of control-

ling up to 8 A/V devices simultaneously. It can also control

other types of devices (cable boxes, amps, drapery controllers,

etc.) To add this functionality, see the HouseLinc manual after

completing the Quick Start Guide.

direct control only). If your computer has only a 25-pin

port, you will need to acquire a 25-pin-to-9-pin adapter.

To install the SmartLinc Suite:

1. Insert the floppy labeled 1 of 3 into your A: drive.

2. Run a:\setup.exe.

3. Follow the installation wizard’s instructions. You will be

prompted to insert disks 2 and 3.

4. If you had previous versions of SmartLinc software on

your PC:

a) If you had a previous version of TouchLinc setup

software, copy all your TouchLinc Files (.TLF) to

your new SmartLinc Suite directory (c:\smartlnc, if

you accepted the default during installation).

b) If you had a previous version of Multi-House-

Manager installed, from the Program menu on the

Start Button (assuming Windows 95/98) select

SmartLinc Suite and launch Multi-House Manager.

Then import (Import Config from the File menu) all

your old MHM files from your old subdirectory (prob-

ably PlatoTW).

5. At this point you will need to refer to the TouchLinc and

HouseLinc manuals to change the current programming

or add programming to your setup.

Good Luck and Have Fun!
