Section 10 - Replacing the Battery

NOTE: This section is for transmitters that are programmed to Flashing Alert Mode
and Countdown Timer Mode. The timer duration for both modes can be set for the
following times: 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 60 minutes.

Learn Button

60 min.

Continue to hold the learn button until it reaches the desired setting.
The status will change every 6 seconds; so holding the learn button for
another 6 seconds the number of flashes will change from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 etc.

Once a transmitter is programmed for the timer mode, activating this programmed
transmitter will turn the lights on for the specified timer duration. To stop timer
countdown, press a programmed button for regular mode.
NOTE: During a timer countdown if the Wall Switch receiver receives another signal
for timer operation, the timer will start again and override the previous timer. This
will extend the on period by another timer interval.

Problem
Remove the wall plate from the Wireless Wall Switch transmitter by loosening
the two screws.

Remove the existing battery by sliding it out.

Insert the new battery, positive side up, by sliding it in and pushing down
on the battery to lock it in place.

When the battery is installed, the red LED on the transmitter will be on
for one second.

Solution

Wall Switch Receiver`s
LEDs and the connected
load will not turn on.

- Ensure the corresponding wires are
connected correctly. Refer to Section 1.
- Ensure the wires are side by side and
held together when pushing them
inside the wire nuts.
- Check that the circuit breaker is turned
on.

My switch has more than
3 wires in the wall box.

- If there are white wires (neutral) in the
wall box, connect the white wire with a
wire nut. Only connect the Load and
Live wires from the wall box to the Wall
Switch Receiver.

The Wall Switch Receiver
is getting warm to touch.

- This is normal. Ensure the connected
load does not exceed the maximum
rating.

The range of my Wall
Switch Receiver is
decreasing.

- Keep the antenna wire as straight as
possible and put it directly into the dry
wall or via the hole in the wall box.

It takes a long time for
the light to turn off when
set to Timer Mode.

- Ensure the timer duration is set to the
desired setting.
- Check that there were no other Timer
Mode signals being received as that will
extend the ON period by another
interval.

Can I connect the Wall
Switch Receiver with
600W lights?

- No. Purchase the Skylink Wall Switch
Receiver (WE-001/WE-318) instead of
this Wall Switch Receiver.

Can I dim the CFL with
the Wall Switch Receiver?

- Ensure the CFL is dimmable.

NOTE: Once you have successfully completed the programming, go to section 9 to setup
the timer duration for the transmitter.
