Thank you for choosing the Craftmade Lighting PB5004-FB Surface Mount Lighted Push Button. This manual provides essential information for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of your new lighted doorbell button.

2. Safety Information
- WARNING: To avoid electric shock, always turn off power at the main fuse or circuit breaker box before installing or servicing any electrical fixture.
- All electrical connections must be in accordance with local codes, ordinances, or the National Electric Code (NEC). Consult a qualified electrician if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
- Do not install this product in wet locations or where it may be exposed to direct water spray.
- Ensure the voltage supply to the doorbell system is compatible with the push button's requirements (typically low voltage, 8-24V AC).
- Handle the product with care to prevent damage.
3. Package Contents
Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:
- Craftmade PB5004-FB Surface Mount Lighted Push Button (1 unit)

4. Setup and Installation
The Craftmade PB5004-FB is designed for surface mounting. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Turn off Power: Before starting, ensure the power to your doorbell system at the circuit breaker or fuse box is completely off.
- Prepare Mounting Surface: Choose a suitable, flat surface near your door for mounting. The push button requires a 2.36-inch hole pattern for secure attachment.
- Connect Wiring: Connect the existing low-voltage doorbell wires to the terminals on the back of the push button. Typically, there are two wires: one from the transformer and one leading to the chime unit. Ensure connections are secure. The integrated LED requires a low voltage AC supply (e.g., 8-24V AC) to illuminate.
- Mount the Push Button: Align the push button with the prepared mounting holes. Use the provided mounting screws to securely fasten the push button to the surface. Do not overtighten.
- Restore Power: Once the push button is securely mounted and wired, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Test Operation: Press the push button to ensure it activates your doorbell chime and that the integrated LED illuminates.

6. Maintenance
The Craftmade PB5004-FB requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the surface of the push button with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
