FAQ

1 Do I have to use my TV as the interface to select
music, listen to the radio, and control my lights?
No. Your TV interface (on-screen Navigator) is
just one of many interfaces you can use with
your Control4 system. You can use the list
Navigator on your Control4 remote to control
all of the automated functions in your home, or
you can purchase Control4 7" Portable Touch
Screens to sit on your nightstand, countertops,
or coffee table or the 5" or 7" In-Wall Touch
Screens. For mobility, use the MyHome app or
the 7" Portable Touch Screen.
2 Do I need to point the Control4 System Remote
Control at the TV?
No. Your remote uses a wireless communication
standard to give you ultimate flexibility, and
lets you use the remote up to 50 feet from your
Control4 system while standing in any direction.

Can I listen to the music on my MP3 player, iPod,
or a USB drive with my Control4 system?
You sure can! If you have music in digital format
on your MP3 player or USB drive, you can plug
it into the USB port on your controller, scan your
music, and stream it to any room in your house.
You can use Control4 Composer HE to auto-
scan your music and import album cover art and
information for your music collection. Control4
supports the AAC format, too. You can also use
MyHome to listen to music throughout your
home from your iPod, iPad, PC, or Android
device.
4 How do I add lamps and other appliances to my
Control4 System?
By using the Control4 Outlet Switch or Outlet
Dimmer, you can add stand-alone lamps and
appliances to your Control4 system. These
devices let you turn your appliances on or off at
certain times of the day automatically, or add
your stand-alone lamps to your existing lighting
scenes.
5 How do I change the color of the LEDs on my
Control4 dimmers and switches?
Contact your Control4 Dealer for information
about custom programming of your Control4
system, or purchase a copy of Composer HE and
you can do some of it yourself!
6 Why are some of the icons on the display grayed
out?
Features that are grayed out on your Navigators
are not currently set up on your Control4 system
or are not available in the room you're on.
Contact your Control4 Dealer to add cool new
devices and features to your Control4 system!
7 Who should I call if I have a problem?
Support for Control4 products is provided by
the dealer who installed your Control4 system.
8
How do I use the intercom with my system?
First, you have to own at least two Control4
devices (intercom-supported touch screens or
Door Stations, etc.) that support intercom. The
earlier versions of the 5" and 7" In-Wall Touch
Screens support audio Intercom only. The 7" In-
Wall Touch Screen with Camera, the 7" Portable
Touch Screen with Camera, and the Door Station
all support audio and video intercom.
