BEFORE YOU START
• Visit our YouTube channel for tips on installation and setup:

metal gang box and use a non-metal/metallic faceplate, as metal
gang boxes and faceplates can decrease the Bluetooth®signal
strength.

Instant 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ofceifyouhavequestions.
