Linking with AbleNet Wireless Devices
The PowerLink can be controlled by any AbleNet Wireless* transmitter such as the Jelly Beamer®
wireless switch. Linked devices can access the PowerLink from up to 30 feet away without pointing
or "line of sight".
Up to 8 wireless switches can be linked to one or both sides of the PowerLink, and will only activate
sides that they are linked to.
To link wireless switches:
1.
Turn both the PowerLink and wireless switch ON.
2.
Press and Hold PowerLink's Status button on the side you wish to link for
6-10 seconds until the light turns solid Green.
3.
Activate any AbleNet Wireless transmitter.
PowerLink's corresponding light will blink Red, then Green.
Repeat this step to link as many as 7 additional transmitters on that side.
4.
Press and Release Status button to exit linking mode.
PowerLink's corresponding light will turn off.
5.
Repeat steps 2-4 for opposite side.
NOTE: Once you exit linking mode, re-initiating the linking process will overwrite
all previously linked devices.
To un-link wireless switches:
Press and Hold the desired Status for 10-15 seconds until the light blinks Red
3x, then Green, then off.
