If a particular Module won't go on or off from the buttons on the Mini
Controller:

    Check that you have power to the outlet controlling the Module and the
    switch on the light or appliance is ON.

    Check that the Unit Code on the Module is set to the correct number. 
    Check that the Housecode on the Module is set correctly.  The Housecode
    on the Module and the Mini Controller must be set to the same letter.

    Try plugging the Module and the Mini Controller into the same outlet.
    If the Module doesn't work in ANY outlet, not even with the Module and
    the Mini Controller in the same duplex receptacle (top and bottom)
    replace the "Module."  If the Module works in some outlets but not in
    others, contact 1-800-843-7422 or your local Radio Shack store for
    help.

If you can't control ANY Modules from the Mini Controller.

    Check that you have power to the outlet for the Mini Controller.

    Check that the Housecode on the Mini Controller is set correctly.

    Try plugging the Module and the Mini Controller into the same outlet. 
    If NONE of your Modules work in ANY outlet, not even with the Module
    and the Mini Controller in the same duplex receptacle (top and bottom)
    replace the Mini Controller.  If the Mini Controller works in some
    outlet but not in others, call 1-800-843-7422 for help.

INTERCOM SYSTEMS.

Intercom systems which send voice signals over existing electrical wiring
may interfere with the operation of the Mini Controller when the intercom
is in use.  If the Intercom system has it's own separate wiring it will
not cause a problem.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS.

When the power is restored after an outage, Lamp Modules and Wall Switch
Modules will normally be OFF.  Appliance Modules will stay as they were
before the interruption.

MANUAL CONTROL.

Lights and appliances connected to plug-in Modules can be turned ON with
their own power switch.  Simply turn the switch OFF then ON again once or
twice.  For lamps with three-way bulbs, you will have to rotate the power
switch up to 4 times before the light comes on.

The Wall Switch Module can be turned ON or OFF locally using it's push
button.  The power On-Off switch on the Wall Switch Module is used to
completely turn off the power.  For example, when changing a light bulb.
