Wall Switch is intended to be installed by a qualied electrician.
• Visit our YouTube channel for tips on installation and setup:
www.youtube.com/user/iDevicesInc
• Turn OFF the power to the circuit you are working on at your
home’s breaker or fuse panel.
• Where ever possible, install the iDevices® Wall Switch in a non-
metallic gang box and use a non-metallic faceplate, as metal gang
boxes and faceplates can decrease the Wi-Fi® signal strength.
• Check that your mobile device is compatible with the iDevices®
Wall Switch at iDevicesinc.com/Compatibility
• It is YOUR responsibility to be sure that products are installed in
accordance with applicable building codes. Check with your local
building ofce if you have questions.
