Skylink WS-100 — Wireless Remote Control Manual

User manual for the Skylink® WS-100 Wireless Remote Control kit — a plug-in receiver and keychain transmitter combo that lets you switch any electrical appliance on or off remotely, indoors or outdoors, without rewiring.

What's Included

• Keychain transmitter with 12-volt alkaline battery installed
• Plug-in receiver

Installation

Indoor Use

Plug the receiver fully into a grounded electrical outlet. If you don't have a grounded outlet, contact an electrician to upgrade your electrical system.

Outdoor Use

Plug the receiver fully into an outdoor outlet. Let the receiver hang downward so moisture doesn't accumulate in the outlet — install the cord and unit above ground level with the receptacle facing down. A weather-protective cover is required to keep rain or moisture out.

Note: not for water immersion or direct exposure to water. Store indoors when not in use. National/Canadian Electrical Code (and most local codes) require outdoor outlets be protected by a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI).

Plug the appliance you wish to control into the outlet on the bottom of the receiver. Do not exceed the maximum load specifications listed below — check with an electrician if you're unsure of an appliance's rating.

Operation

Press the transmitter button — the light on the transmitter turns on, and the connected device should turn on immediately. Press the button again to turn the device off.

Battery Replacement

Uses a 12-volt alkaline battery (Type 23A). Open the battery compartment cover and swap the old battery for a new one. Do not dispose of batteries in fire — they may explode or leak.

Caution

Risk of electric shock — do not use with an extension cord or near water where water may accumulate. Keep plugs and receptacles dry. For use only on GFCI-protected circuits.
