Safety Notices

CAUTION: High Voltage - Disconnect power supply before servicing.

MISE EN GARDE: Haute tension. Débrancher l'alimentation électrique avant d'utiliser.

Important Safety Precautions:

• CAUTION - Risk of Electric Shock: More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing. A circuit breaker that disconnects both the Line and Neutral conductors simultaneously is suitable. Ensure power is off at the circuit breaker before removing or installing any switch. Use a non-contact voltage tester to confirm power is off.
• The Smart Switch must be installed and used in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) or your local electrical code. If you are unfamiliar with these codes and requirements, or are uncomfortable performing the installation, consult a qualified electrician.
• Do not install the Smart Switch with wet hands or while standing on wet or damp surfaces.
• Install only in a suitable UL Listed outlet box with appropriate dimensions (suggested: Height > 2.95 in./75 mm, Width > 1.81 in./46 mm, Depth > 2 in./51 mm).
