application in the menu, it can be launched as any other application, by scrolling to the

application name and selecting ‘OK’ or ‘Select.’

13.6 - Activate your Phone and Software

After you have loaded the application you will need to Activate your software from the

‘Options’ menu. If ‘Activate’ does not appear in the Options menu then your software has

already been activated and does not need to be activated again unless you have problems

accessing your HomeRemote System from your phone. When you select ‘Activate’ your phone

will prompt you for your 12-digit activation code. Your phone will then send this code to the

Cell Link database for verification and notify you that “Activation was successful.” This code

can only be provided via the Cell Link customer portal website. If you do not have an activation

code you may acquire one by logging into your account at www.cell-link.homeremote.net

and

clicking on the ‘My Phones’ tab to reinstall your software. This will send a message to your

phone, as well as generate a new activation code. If the Cell Link software is already on your

phone and you are just activating it, you do not need to follow the message link on you phone to

download the software again. Just enter the new 12-digit activation code on your phone. (Note:

Activation codes are only valid for one activation, and they expire after 24 hours)

The HomeRemote Gateway constantly updates your Cell Link application with the latest changes

to your system. This means that if you add a new module to your system the next time you load

your Cell Link application the new module will be included in your Cell Link application. Here

is a quick walk through of how to navigate the Cell Link interface.

13.7 - Navigating Menus and Executing Commands with your Cell Phone

Selecting Functions Using Your Phone Controls

There are generally three methods of controlling the functions of Cell-Link.

1) Most modern cellular phones have navigation keys (up, down, left, right) as well as an ‘OK’

or select button. These navigation keys can be used to highlight and select icons within Cell-Link

application.

2) Another method of selecting icons and executing functions within the Cell-Link application is

to utilize the alphanumeric keypad (number buttons) on your cell phone. (2 – Up, 4 – Left, 6 –

Right, 8 – Down)

3) Lastly, you can activate “Short Cut Keys” within Cell-Link by selecting the

“Enable Shortcuts” option from the Cell-Link main menu. These shortcuts are assigned to the

most commonly used functions within Cell-Link, and instructions

are displayed on your phone when you activate this feature.
