X10 PLATINUM REMOTE MODEL UR73A 5 IN 1 REMOTE OWNER’S MANUAL
READ THIS FIRST! SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS Remember to exercise good common sense when using the Home Automation features of your X10 Platinum Remote – especially when scheduling unattended devices. There can be some unexpected consequences if not used with care. For example, an empty coffee pot can be remotely turned on. If that should happen, your coffee pot could be damaged from overheating. If an electric heater is turned on by remote control while clothing is draped over it, a fire could result.

But what really sets it apart from other remotes is that you can also control almost any light or appliance in your home – even in another room! And it’s easy to set up.
