
Thesetwomodeshaveverydifferentpurposes:

SetupModecanbeusedtocreateanewZWavenetworkortoaddorremovedevicesfromanexistingZWavenetwork.
UseModeallowsyoutouseyourKeyFobtohavefullcontrolofdeviceswithinyourZWavenetwork.UseModecanbe
changedtofunctionasaGrouporScenecontroller.ForfurtherinformationonyourKeyFob’sUseMode,pleasereferto


IfyoualreadyhaveanexistingZWavenetwork.
Duringthefollowingsteps,yourKeyFobshouldbeinclosetoyourprimaryZWavecontroller.Thisislikelytobeagatewayor

Pleaseskiptothe‘Changeyourremote’smode’sectionofthisguidetocontinue.

IfyouneedtocreateanewZWavenetwork.

YourKeyFobcanbesetupastheprimarycontrollerofaZWavenetwork.Thisisidealforasituationwhereyoudon’thave
anexistingZWavenetworksetup,andyou’reeitherstartingoutorintendingtosetuponlyasmallnetwork.

TocreateanewZWavenetwork,youneedtoassociateyourKeyFobwithanyZWavedevicesyouwantittocontrolthis
willsetupanewZWavenetworkforyou.TheseZWavedevicescannotbepartofanexistingnetwork.Todothis,refertothe
section,‘AddingdevicestoyourZWavenetwork’intheAdvancedFunctionspartofthisguide,andfollowtheinstructions.

Changeyourremote’smode.
YourKeyFobisnowsetupandiseitherpartofanexistingZWavenetworkoristheprimarycontrollerofanewZWave
network.
ForallthepreviousstepsyourKeyFobhasbeeninSetupMode.It’snowtimetochangeittoUseMode.Thiswillallow
yourKeyFobtofunctionasaremotecontrol.

1.SlidetoopenthemainpanelofyourKeyFobsothatthebuttonsarerevealed.2.PressandholdtheModebuttonand
Learnbuttonwith2pinsfor3seconds.

Creatingascenetocontrol.

BeforegivingyourKeyFobcontroloverotherZWavedevices,it’simportanttounderstandhowmanysceneseachbuttoncan
control.AsceneisagroupingofmultipledevicesandeachbuttononyourKeyFobiscapableofcontrollingmultipledevices
(akaascene)withthepushofasinglebutton.
IfyousetyourKeyFobupasaprimarycontrollerinthepreviousstepsbycreatinganewnetwork,eachbuttoniscapableof
controlling1individualscene.
IfyouaddedyourKeyFobtoanexistingZWavenetwork,itcancontroleither1or2individualscenesperbutton.The
distinctionhereiswhetheryourKeyFobisUse(Group)ModeorinUse(Scene)Mode.InUse(Group)Mode,youcan
control1scenefromeachbutton.InUse(Scene)Modeyoucancontrol2differentscenesfromeachbutton.

