LED Indicator Modes

The LED indicator provides visual feedback on the switch's status.

• Mode 2 (Always On): The LED stays illuminated during the entire selected time delay. This mode can be useful for easy locating of the switch in the dark. Refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for instructions on how to switch between LED modes if this feature is configurable.
