Introduction: ® Thank you for your purchase of a GE Z-Wave enabled control device. Z-Wave technology is designed to automate lighting/ home control and provide easy remote operation of all your Z-wave enabled devices. The GE Z-Wave product family includes a variety of devices to control lighting in your home. Control one room or your entire house, and you can do it all now or start with one room and add more over time. The 3-way dimmer switch kit is one ® components of a Z-Wave control

The auxiliary switch is not Z-Wave enabled and does not directly control electrical loads. It must be used with a compatible Z-Wave enabled, 3-wire switch in three-way installations where a light is controlled from 2 locations such as the top and bottom of a staircase. This switch communicates with the Z-Wave enabled switch, providing manual On/Off/Dim control of the connected lighting (through the Z-Wave enabled switch) and synchronization of the lighting status (On/Off/Dim level) bet

WARNING RISK OF FIRE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK RISK OF BURNS Controlling Appliances: Exercise extreme caution when using Z-Wave devices to control appliances. Operation of the Z-Wave device may be in a different room than the controlled appliance, also an unintentional activation may occur if the wrong button on the remote is pressed. Z-Wave devices may automatically be powered on due to timed event programming. Depending upon the appliance, these unattended or unintentional operations co

Wireless Range This device complies with the Z-Wave standard of open- air, line of sight transmission distances of 65 feet. Actual performance in a home depends on the number of walls between the remote controller and the destination device, the type of construction and the number of Z-Wave enabled devices installed in the control network. GE Z-Wave network Every Z-Wave enabled device acts as a signal repeater and multiple devices result in more possible transmission routes which helps

Please Note: Z-Wave home control networks are designed to work properly alongside 802.11 wireless computer networks, Bluetooth® and other 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz devices. Some baby cams, wireless video devices and older cordless phones using the 900MHz frequency range may cause interference and limit Z-Wave functionality. Many 900MHz products have a switch to select channel “A” or “B”. You may find that one of these channels will cause less interference than the other. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT 3

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT 3-WAY CIRCUITS CONT. The yellow wire from the 45607 must only be connected to the yellow wire of the 45610 via the traveler wire. The dimmer switch will fail if the yellow wire is connected to Line (Hot), Neutral or Ground. It must be insulated properly if it is not used. Please consult an electrician if you have trouble identifying the type of wiring circuit you wish to convert or if you do not feel confident in your ability to convert the circuit to Z-Wave control.
