X10 activehome remote control - need manual

[Bob]

I picked up a used "X10 Activehome" remote control at a thrift shop.
I igured on downloading the manual, but can not find this remote
anywhere, partly because it has no identifying number.

The remote has a power and setup button at the top.
Below that are 3 buttons labeled PC, CD, and X10.
Below that are 2 rows of 4 labeled WEB, DVD, PHONE, AUX and
TV, CBL,SAT and VCR
Then, 4 rows of 3 number buttons.
Below that two bars labeled VOL on the left and CH on the right
wrapped around a 1" diameter cursor control.
The bottom has SELECT and directional controls like for a VCR or DVD,
and several smaller buttons.

I thought this might be used for home theater equipment control. Or maybe
it is a specialized thing for a PC based "activehome" control system.

Can anyone help me find more info?

Look about 1/3 of the way down this doc to see if that's your remote:

Look on the back of the remote. There should be a label with the model
number (e.g. UR-19A) and an FCC ID number. Either will help to find a manual
on X-10's manual page or, if it's an older remote, on the FCC search page.

As I said, there is no identification. There is a 1/4" dia. sticker inside
the battery compartment that says "7L52". Also, the unit uses 4 AAA
batteries, and there are also 2 blue buttons on the back of the unit
just above the battery compartment.

The round sticker is just a date code which is no help in identifying the
model. I think only the MouseRemote has the buttons on the back.
