Remote control by cell phone kit is activated when the backlight of a cellular phone comes on with an incoming call. The cell phone back light needs to remain lit continuously (it should not flash) when the cell phone is ringing. Some cell phones or models may be incompatible or may require a different backlight setting for incoming calls. If in doubt, check the manual of your cell phone. To operate this kit, you need a cell phone and a provider subscription or a prepaid phone card. Keep in mind that although there is some protection against unwanted calls, the unit can still be activated by prank callers, wrong numbers dialed, or calls/messages from the cellular provider, etc.
The circuit must be used to operate non-critical equipment only. Do not use this circuit to control a life support system or any application where unintended operation might harm people or damage property.  Remote control by cell phone is an electronic kit. User assembly of components and soldering is required.
