Use a non-contact voltage tester to ensure the 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 when standing on wet or damp surfaces.
