The Fone Link allows any cordless or wired telephone to function as a remote controller for IR controlled
audio/video components. Used with cordless phones, it provides a control system not affected by sunlight
or any other infrared interference. The Fone Link contains an infrared signal learning microprocessor and
is connected between the cordless or wired phone and the phone line.

FRONT PANEL
The front panel of the Fone Link is made of acrylic

ters and an infrared sensor.

DELETE - Blinks on and off when the DELETE
button on the rear panel is pressed.
OUTPUT - Lights to indicate when infrared com-
mands are being sent in response to pressing
telephone keys.
BLAST IR EMITTERS

the controlled equipment, are located between the
LEARNING and the DELETE LEDs. See Fig.1.
INFRARED SENSOR
