2. Safety Information and Important Notes Before Purchase
Please read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before installation and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Professional Installation Recommended: Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified electrician.
- Neutral Wire Required: This device requires a neutral wire for proper operation. Most houses built before the mid-1980s may not have a neutral wire at the switch box. Please confirm the presence of a neutral wire before purchase and installation.
- Not a Dimmer Switch: This product is a standard ON/OFF switch and does not support dimming functionality.
- Do Not Touch Circuit Board: Always ensure the glass panel is installed before powering on the device. Testing without the glass panel can lead to improper function as the device senses the distance between the pad and the figure. Do not touch the internal circuit board.
- Cut Off Electricity: Always cut off the main power supply at the circuit breaker before performing any installation or maintenance.
