The SWL IR Remote is a microcontroller-based device that decodes the Infrared pulse stream
from a Universal Remote control and converts it into the remote commands for shortwave
receivers and transceivers. Several versions of the SWL IR Remote are available for different
models of Receivers and Transceivers.
The SWL IR Remote is connected to your ICOM radio using a 1/8in (3.5mm) audio type cable
connected from the SWL IR Remote to the Remote (CI-V) jack on the radio.
Power for the SWL IR Remote is provided by the included wall power supply. Alternatively, 9-
12Volts DC at 100ma max can be supplied to the power connector. The center pin of the coax
power connector is positive. There is a blocking diode in the circuit, so reverse polarity will not
harm the SWL IR Remote control unit. Customers in Europe receive a DC cable that connects to
the coax power jack on the SWL IR Remote control unit and has pig tail leads on the other end
for connecting to a DC power supply.
All keys on the Universal Remote are indicated in this manual with bold type. The keys used for
radio control are the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Mute, Power, Enter, and Last or Previous.
All references to the Last key also refers to the Previous key on the remotes that have that key.
Any Universal Remote control should operate the SWL IR Remote. Follow the instructions in
the remote manual to set the remote to operate a Sony TV. The remote needs digit keys, Power,
Enter, and Last or Previous buttons. The remote should be in TV mode to operate properly.
Make sure you do not have Cable or VCR modes selected. The codes from the keys when in
Cable or VCR mode are different and will not operate the SWL IR Remote.
None of the settings are changed in the radio with the exception of memories that you write with
the remote. All settings are temporary in the remote control. You can go back at any time to
using your radio from the front panel.
Keep the Quick Commands Reference sheet by your remote as reference on the SWL IR Remote
operation.
