! IMPORTANT NOTE ON 3-WAY WIRING:
Some 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), weve created instructions for how to install and enable the capability. Visit cbyge.com/switch-support for 3-way installation instructions and how-to-videos. 4 5 Lets Do It INCLUDED Dimmer Switch Wall Plate 4 Wire Nuts Bulb Adaptor Line/Load Line/Load Ground 2 Phillips Mounting Screws 2 Phillips Face Plate Screws Wire Labels 6 YOULL NEED 12 6 Phillips Screwdriver 9 3 Needle Nose Pliers

And were here to help. For in-depth instructional videos and a guided tour through the installation, go to cbyge.com/switch-support. BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING: Step 1 Turn Off The Power!
Turn off the power for the switch location at the circuit breaker box. Test existing switch by toggling switch on/off, ensuring lights do not turn on. Now, follow these setup steps for a single gang switch. ON OFF 8 9 IF APPLICABLE Install adaptor onto C by GE smart or non-dimmable LED bulbs C by GE smart switches and dimmers are compatible with C by GE smart bulbs. To keep your C by GE bulbs always available and connected, the included bulb adaptor should be used to have full control of C by GE bulbs on the same circuit as the switch. NOTE: Only one bulb adaptor is needed per switch, even if there are multiple C by GE bulbs on the circuit. Simply twist the bulb adaptor onto the base of one C by GE smart bulb and Screw into the fixture. NOTE: Keep your bulb adaptor handy. Even if you dont have C by GE bulbs, the bulb adaptor can be used to improve the performance of some traditional LED bulbs if you begin experiencing any performance issues. If installing in a recessed can application, you may need to adjust the depth of the recessed can to ensure the bulb is flush. Go to: cbyge. com/switch-support for more helpful tips on when to use the bulb adaptor. 10 11 STEP 2 Remove Your Old Switch 1. Remove the existing wall plate and switch from the wall. 2. Use voltage tester on the black wires to confirm power to the switch is off (recommended). 3. Before disconnecting the wires from the wall, label each with the provided wire labels. Ground wire is required. If you dont have this wire, the C by GE switch is not compatible. 4. Disconnect wires and remove existing switch. 12 13 Line/Load Line/Load Ground Wire Labels STEP 3 Connect The Wires NOTE: Both black wires on the switch are interchangeable and can be connected to either the load or line wire from the wall. 1. Connect the first line/load (black) wire on the switch to the line or load
(black label) wire from the wall. 2. Connect the second line/load (black) wire on the switch to the line or load
(black label) wire from the wall. 3. Connect the ground (green) wire on the switch with the ground (green label) wire from the wall. 4. Cap the 3-way/multi-way traveler wire
(if applicable). For 3-way switch setup, visit cbyge. com/switch-support Attention: Incorrectly connecting the Ground wire from the wall to the Ground wire on the switch will damage the product. 5. Cap the neutral wire from the wall
(if applicable). Neutral wire is not required to operate this switch. 14 15 USING WIRE NUTS 1. Insert wires into wire nut. 2. Turn wire nut clockwise. 3. Pull gently on wires to test connection. 3/4 inch STEP 4 Fit Wires Into Wall Box Neatly push the wires back into the box, rotating the switch so its oriented according to the image. Dimmer Switch 16 17 STEP 5 Secure The Switch Using a Phillips screwdriver and the screws provided, secure the switch to the wall until level and flush. Then snap the faceplate cover onto the bracket. 18 19 STEP 6 Turn The Power Back On After the switch is secured and faceplate mounted, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker box. At the switch, LED indicator light or light ring will flash blue indicating the device is wired correctly and the device is in setup mode. Press any button on the switch to enable setup mode if setup mode times out. ON OFF IF LIGHTS DONT TURN ON:
LED indicator light or light ring will flash blue until the switch is added to the C by GE app. LED indicator light or light ring will flash red if the circuit is overloaded. Max load rating 150 watts for LED and 450 watts for incandescent/halogen. LED indicator light or light ring will not illuminate if wired incorrectly. 1. Check that power to the switch is on at the breaker. 2. Turn power off at the breaker, return to the switch to confirm the wires are securely and properly wired according to the installation guide. 3.
