Follow each step carefully.  \nIf any concerns handling wiring, hire a qualified electrician. Ensure all work meets applicable local and national codes.  \nSimple DIY Setup  \nInstall your Smart Switch  \nDownload the C by GE app  \nAdd  \nyour Smart Switch to the C by GE app  \nCompatibility Requirements  \nRating 120V AC 60Hz  \nNeutral wire is required (Wire is usually white or grey)  \nGround wire is required (Wire is usually green, green with a yellow stripe, or copper)   \nWi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n @ 2.4 GHZ is required  \nWorks with halogen, incandescent and LED bulbs, including C by GE Smart  \nBulbs.  \nLED up to 1.25 amps  \nIncandescent/halogen up to 5 amps  \nMotor up to 1/4HP  \n! IMPORTANT NOTE ON 3-WAY WIRING:  \nSome lights have one wall switch, while others are controlled by two or more wall switches (such as stair lights, which have a switch at both the top and bottom of the stairs). If your lights have more than one switch (called a 3-way), we’ve created instructions for how to install and enable the capability.  \nVisit [cbyge.com/switch-support](cbyge.com/switch-support)  \nfor 3-way installation instructions and how-to-videos.  \nLet’s Do It  \nINCLUDED  \nYOU’LL NEED  \n4 Phillips Mounting Screws  \nWire Labels  \nPhillips Screwdriver   \n(recommended)  \nVoltage Tester (recommended)  \n12  \n9  3  \n6  \nApproximately 30 minutes of your day to install and setup the switch  \nYou Got This!  \nAnd we’re here to help.  \nFor in-depth instructional videos  \nand a guided tour through the installation, [go to cbyge.com/switch-support](go to cbyge.com/switch-support).  \nBEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING: Step 1  \nTurn Off The Power!  \n1. Turn off the power for the switch location at the circuit breaker box.  \n2. Remove wall plates and mounting screws for both switches you are replacing.  \n3. Gently pull switches out from their boxes so wiring can be viewed.  \n4. Test the wires with a voltage tester to ensure power is off. If multiple switches are in the same box, test them as well. Additional breakers may need to be turned off.  \nON  \nOFF  \nSTEP 2  \nCheck For Compatible Wiring  \n1. Do not disconnect any wires at this stage. We recommend taking a picture of your wiring before proceeding for future reference.  \n2. Wiring colors may vary. In this diagram, neutral is white, and ground is bare copper. The red and black wires connected to brass terminals are traveler wires. The wires connected to the black (common) terminals are the line and load (we’ll identify which one is which in STEP 4).  \n3. Both the neutral and ground wires are required for the C by GE Smart Switch.  \n4. If neutral wires are only in one switch location, the traveler wire will be used to carry the neutral to the other switch (this will be explained on STEP 7 . B) .  \n5. If all necessary wiring is present, you can proceed with installation.  \nSTEP 2  \nCheck For Compatible Wiring  \n6. If installing a 4-way, check for compatible wiring on the 4-way switch.  \nSTEP 3  \nRestore Power  \n1. Restore power to the switches at the circuit breaker box.  \nON  \nOFF","cbCaiejm8sjqTfC3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiejm8sjqTfC3","pdf",190543,25,"English","# Simple DIY Setup\n## Install your Smart Switch\n## Compatibility Requirements\n## Let’s Do It\n## BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING\n# Step 1 - Turn Off The Power!\n# Step 2 - Check For Compatible Wiring\n# Step 3 - Restore Power","[{\"question\":\"What safety precautions are required before installing the Smart Switch?\",\"answer\":\"Turn off power at the circuit breaker box, remove and handle switches carefully, and use a voltage tester to confirm power is off.
