MODES OF OPERATION

The remote light switch can be programmed to a MyQ™ enabled remote control or a MyQ™ enabled garage door opener.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION:

Allows you to activate the remote light switch from a remote control.

NOTE: If your remote control is already programmed to your garage door opener, choose a different remote control button to program to the remote light switch.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER OPERATION:

Allows you to synchronize the remote light switch with your garage door opener light bulbs. The synchronization with the garage door opener lights is disabled if you manually turn the light switch on.

The light switch must be OFF to synchronize the garage door opener with the light switch.

Example: The garage door opener light bulbs are set to automatically turn off after 4 ½ minutes, the remote light switch will also turn off after 4 ½ minutes.

INSTALLATION

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

This device REQUIRES a ground; if a ground is not available, contact a qualified electrician. If you are not experienced and familiar with electrical wiring and electrical codes, contact a qualified electrician. Some codes require installation by a qualified electrician. Install in accordance with all national and local codes. Ensure the existing switch and light is working prior to installing the new switch.

1. Disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse box BEFORE proceeding.

2. Remove the wall plate and set aside for re-assembly.

REMOVE OLD WALL SWITCH:

1. Remove switch from switch box.

2. During removal, identify or label the load and line wires.

NOTE: Typically a line wire is the incoming hot wire from the circuit breaker. The load wire is the wire supplying power between the switch

and the light.

3. Keep all load wires separated from line wires.

INSTALL NEW SWITCH (Figure 1):

1. Identify the antenna routing (Figure 1).

2. Connect the wires (Figure 2). NOTE: If your wiring includes a neutral wire this wire is not required, combine neutral wire(s) and cap with wire nut (not provided).

• Green wire to ground.

Connect the green wire on the new switch to the exposed copper ground, green wire, or to the ground connection within metal switch box. NOTE: If ground doesn’t exist contact an electrician to add a ground. This product will not function without a proper ground.

• Red wire to load.

• Black wire to line.

3. Secure connections with a wire nut and wrap each wire nut with electrical tape.

NOTE: Turn all wire nuts clockwise, making sure the bare wires are covered. Tug on each wire nut to make sure the connections are good.

4. Carefully pack the wiring back into switch box. Make sure the wires are not pinched or strained. Make sure the antenna is hanging straight down between the switch box and the drywall.

5. Fasten the remote light switch to the switch box with the screws

(provided).

6. Fasten the wall plate securely over the switch box with the original screws from the wall plate.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:

• Turn off power at the fuse box or circuit breaker BEFORE proceeding.

• The light control is ONLY for indoor use.

• Installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with ALL local electrical and building codes.
