  3. Connect Lamp: Plug your lamp's power cord into the outlet provided on the front of the Westek 6004B dimmer.
  4. Verify Lamp Switch: Ensure your lamp's built-in switch (if any) is in the "ON" position. The dimmer will then control the lamp's power and brightness.
  5. Test Functionality: Gently touch any metal part of the lamp (e.g., base, stem) to test the touch dimming feature.

  3. Third Touch: Touch the lamp a third time. The brightness will increase to the highest setting.
  4. Fourth Touch: Touch the lamp a fourth time. The lamp will turn OFF.

Repeat the touch sequence to cycle through the brightness levels and turn the lamp on or off.
