• ON/OFF Button: Press the large paddle switch to turn lights ON or OFF.
• Dim/Brighten Buttons: Use the small up (▲) and down (▼) buttons to adjust the brightness level. There are 13 dimming levels.
• LED Indicators: The 7 LED lights indicate the current brightness level.
• Fade On/Off: Lights will gradually illuminate or dim to protect your eyes and extend bulb lifespan. The lowest LED indicator remains softly lit for easy location in the dark.

Minimum Brightness Adjustment (Trim Dial)

The trim dial allows you to set the minimum brightness level to prevent flickering or premature turn-off at low settings, especially with certain LED bulbs.

Image: A visual guide demonstrating how to adjust the minimum brightness using the trim dial. It shows removing the rocker cover, locating the dial, and turning it clockwise for brighter minimum or counter-clockwise for less bright minimum.

1. Turn on the dimmer and adjust it to the lowest setting using the down (▼) button.
2. Carefully remove the rocker cover (the large paddle switch) to expose the trim dial.
3. Use a small screwdriver to rotate the "Trim Dial".
   • Turn clockwise (+) to increase the minimum brightness.
   • Turn counter-clockwise (-) to decrease the minimum brightness.
   Adjust until the preferred lowest light level is achieved without flickering.
4. Replace the rocker cover.
