To change the House Code that the ActiveEYE transmits: Press and hold the House/On button (under the
battery compartment lid) the red light flashes first and then blinks the current setting (once for A, twice for B,
etc.). Release and immediately press the button the desired number of times for the House Code you want to set
(once for A, twice for B, etc.). Hold the button for 3 seconds on the last press. The red light blinks back the
number of times for the code you set. Release the button.

To turn additional lights on when it gets dark. The ActiveEYE can send signals when it detects dusk and
dawn so it can turn a light on when it gets dark and turn it off when it gets light (in addition to turning lights on
when it detects motion). To have it turn a light on at dusk and off at dawn plug the light into an X10 Module and
set it to the same Housecode as the ActiveEYE and to a Unit Code that is one number higher than the Unit
Code of the module that turns on when motion is detected. I.E. if the ActiveEYE turns on A1 when it detects
motion, it will turn on A2 when it gets dark and turn it off when it gets light. You then need to enable this feature,
see below for details. Note: If you enable this feature and use the ActiveEYE to control X10 wireless cameras,
care should be take NOT to set any cameras to the code that the ActiveEYE sends at dusk and dawn (Unit Code
+1). Otherwise you will find your cameras will be turned off at dawn.

To set whether you want the ActiveEYE to transmit EVERY time it sees motion or only at night; and to
enable or disable the "Unit Code +1" function to turn lights on/off at dusk/dawn:

Press the Unit/Off button once. The red light flashes. Then press and hold the House/On button. The green light
turns on. 3 seconds later the ActiveEYE reports its dusk/dawn setting as follows:

The red light blinks once if the ActiveEYE is set to detect motion at all times and does not turn Unit Code +1
ON at dusk and OFF at dawn.

The red light blinks twice if the ActiveEYE is set to detect motion only when it’s dark and does not turn Unit
Code +1 ON at dusk and OFF at dawn.

The red light blinks three times if the ActiveEYE is set to detect motion at all times and does turn Unit Code
+1 ON at dusk and OFF at dawn.

The red light blinks four times if the ActiveEYE is set to detect motion only when it’s dark and does turn Unit
Code +1 ON at dusk and OFF at dawn.

To change this, Press the Unit/Off button once. The red light flashes. Then press and hold the House/On button.
The green light turns on. 3 seconds later the ActiveEYE reports its dusk/dawn setting, as listed above. Release
and immediately press the House/On button 1, 2, 3, or 4 times for the setting you require, as above. Hold the
button for 3 seconds on your last press.
The red light then reports the setting with 1, 2, 3, or 4 blinks.

NOTES:

After replacing batteries, you need to wait 30 seconds before the ActiveEYE will see any motion.

After a transmission, you need to wait 10 seconds before the ActiveEYE will see you.

The default House and Unit Code transmitted when motion is detected is A 1-ON.

The default for motion detection is detect at all times (day and night).

The default time-out after which OFF is sent (default A 1-OFF) is Analog, i.e. the setting on the dial.

The default House and Unit Code transmitted when dusk/dawn is sensed is Unit Code +1 (i.e. A 2) ON at dusk, A
2 OFF at dawn, but this feature is disabled by default, see above to enable it.
