CAUTIONInstallation is required and enclosed instructions must be followed carefully to all steps and notes. If you are uncertain or uncomfortable performing this installation, please consult a qualified electrician. This manual should also be retained for future reference. 4. OPERATING MODESThe Dimmable Receiver Module can control the light in 2 different operating modes. 1) On / Off Mode - Allows operating the light either on and off, without dimming function.2) Dimming Mode - Allows operating the light in on, off and dimming (dim / brighten) modes. Light must be either incandescent light and designated dimming compact fluorescent light.The factory default operating mode is on/off mode. However, if your light is dimmable, you may change the operating mode to DimmingMode. To change the operating modes, please follow the instructions below.1. Turn on the light by activating the programmed transmitter.2. Press and hold onto a button on the transmitter that is programmed to the module for 10 seconds.3. The light will flash. If it flashes once, that means it is in On / Off Mode. If the light flashes twice, that means it is in Dimming Mode.4. Repeating step 3 above will toggle the setting between On / Off Mode and Dimming Mode. 5. ON / OFF OPERATIONThe MD-318 Dimmable Receiver Module allows on / off operation, when the programmed button is activate, it will transmit a signal to toggle its current status. For example, if a signal is received when the light is off, that signal will turn on the light. Note:If the Dimmable Receiver Module is installed on a ceiling lighting fixture, you can use the transmitter to operate the light remotely only if the wall switch is in the ON position. If the wall switch is off, no power is provided to the Dimmable Receiver Module and therefore, it cannot operate the light. In case the transmitter is misplaced, you can still operate the lighting fixture with the wall switch normally.

ERASING TC TRANSMITTERS FROM THE DIMMABLE RECEIVER MODULENote:When used with Compact Fluorescent Light, if there is flickering when youswitch off the light, it is recommended you replace a different Compact Fluorescent Light with higher quality.On / Off Operation - Original Wall Switch Power On - Light On There is a function "Power On - Light On" built-in to the receiver module. This means when the power supply to the receiver module change from off to on, this will turn the light on. This function allows you to operate the light with original wall switch.When the wall switch is in the off position, switching it on will turn on the light. Once the switch is on, you may use the remote control to operate the light. If the wall switch is switched from on to off, the light will be off. At the same time, the remote control cannot operate the light cause there is no power supplied to the receiver module. In case you do not want to operate the light with the original wall switch, you can disable this Power On - Light On feature and use only remote control to operate the light. One incident that the light may be turned on by accident is after a power failure. If you leave the wall switch on, but turn off the light with a remote control. When power comes back on, the light will be on. Therefore, there is an option not to turn the lights on when power is supplied to the receiver module. The way to disable this feature is to re-program a transmitter (button) that is already programmed to the receiver module (i.e. program a transmitter twice). This will disable this feature. You may re-program it again to toggle the setting between enabling and disabling this feature. If the Power On - Light On feature is disabled, the light will not be turned on under most circumstances, i.e. power comes back up after power failure, or manually turning on the wall switch. However, you can still turn on the light by the wall switch with a specific power up sequence, that is to turn on the wall switch twice within 2 seconds. So in case the remote control is lost, the light can still be turned on. 5. ON / OFF OPERATION (CONT) 8. ZONE OPERATION (CONT)The Skylink Lighting System consists of many other devices from multiple button transmitters, Motion Sensor, various receivers such as Wall Switch Receiver, Plug-in Receiver with Repeater, Outdoor Receiver, Dimmer Module etc. Please visit Skylink website at www.skylinkhome.com for more information.
