Abstract
A system for switching on an electrical device includes a startup circuit for an associated electrical device. The electrical device has a main power circuit comprising first and second paths and a main switch for selectively connecting the electrical device with an associated power source. The startup circuit uses a pulse of electromagnetic energy transmitted wirelessly from an associated remote control device to form a third path, whereby power is supplied from the associated power source for actuating the main switch.

17. A method for remotely switching on an electrical device, the device being connectable with a power source by first and second paths, the first path including a main switch, the method comprising:
-
transmitting a signal comprising a pulse of electromagnetic energy from a remote device to a startup circuit for the electrical device; using the energy pulse to temporarily form a third path which brings power from the power source to actuate the main switch, whereby power is supplied from the associated power source to the electrical device by the first and second paths. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
