3. Label Your Wires

Use the labels included to identify your wires.

1. Line Wire=Black label
2. Neutral Wire=White label
3. Ground Wire=Green label
4. Load Wire=Red label

4. Disconnect Wires and Remove the Old Switch

6. Connect the Wires

Insert each wire into the appropriately marked terminal hole on the back of the smart dimmer. Then secure each connection by tightening the connector screws. 

7. Fit the Smart Dimmer Inside the Wall Box

Be sure that all the wires are inside the wall box leaving enough space to insert the housing. Secure the dimmer inside the wall box with the mounting screws provided.

8. Gently separate the mounting frame from the wall plate.

9. Secure the Mounting Frame 

Place the mounting frame over the installed Smart Dimmer. Then secure in place with the provided screws.
