X10 PM5900 Installation And Operating Instructions

Installation and operating instructions for ST539 Transmitter and
RE549 Receiver, both included in the PM5900 Set.
1. Plug the Powermid Transmitter (Model ST539) into a 120V AC outlet in
the room where you want to use your remote control (up to 20 feet away
from where you normally sit). Make sure the front of the unit (with the
Powermid name on it) is facing you.
2. Plug the Powermid Receiver (Model RE549) into a 120V AC outlet in the
room where your TV, VCR, stereo, etc., that you want to control is located
(up to 20 feet away from what you want to control). Point the front of the
Powermid Receiver towards the unit you want to control. Fully extend the
antenna.
Note: The Transmitter and Receiver can be in different rooms, up to 100 feet
away from each other.
3. Point your remote control at the Powermid Transmitter and press any
button. The Powermid Transmitter receives the Infrared (IR) signals from
your remote and converts them to Radio Frequency (RF) codes. It sends
these codes (even through walls and ceilings) to the Powermid Receiver
which converts the codes back to IR codes to control your TV, VCR, etc.
You can add more Transmitters to use your remotes in more than one room.
Add more Receivers to control equipment in more than one room. Add an IR
Extender, Model RX569 (sold separately) if you want to place the Powermid
Receiver next to your TV, etc., instead of in front of it. Or if your equipment
is located inside a closed cabinet.
