• TO AVOID FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, DO NOT install to control a receptacle, a motor, or a transformer operated appliance.                                                                                                             • Use with compatible dimmable LED, CFL bulbs, incandescent or 120V halogen fixtures only. For a list of compatible LED and CFL bulbs refer to www.leviton.com.
• To be installed and/or used in accordance with electrical codes and regulations.                                                                                                                                                                     • DO NOT mix bulb types when multiple bulbs are used with one dimmer. All bulbs shall be either LED; CFL or incandescent. Using the same make/model of each bulb will enhance dimmer performance.
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician.                                                                                                                                                                      • Leviton recommends Z-Wave® technology in residential installations up to 7,500 sq/ft.
