! IMPORTANT NOTE ON 3-WAY WIRING:
Some lights have one wall switch, while others are controlled by two or
more wall switches (such as stair lights, which have a switch at both the
top and bottom of the stairs). If your lights have more than one switch
(called a 3-way), we’ve created instructions for how to install and
enable the capability.
Visit cbyge.com/switch-support
for 3-way installation instructions and how-to-videos.

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING: Step 1
Turn Off The Power!
1. Turn off the power for the switch location at the circuit breaker box.
2. Test existing switch by toggling switch on/off, ensuring lights do not turn on.
3. Now, follow these setup steps for a single gang switch.

OFF
IF APPLICABLE
Install adaptor onto
C by GE smart or
non-dimmable LED bulbs
1. C by GE smart switches and dimmers are compatible with C by GE smart bulbs.
To keep your C by GE bulbs always available and connected, the included
bulb adaptor should be used to have full control of C by GE bulbs on the same
circuit as the switch.
NOTE: Only one bulb adaptor is needed per switch, even if there are multiple
C by GE bulbs on the circuit.
2. Simply twist the bulb adaptor onto the base of one C by GE smart bulb
and Screw into the fixture.
NOTE: Keep your bulb adaptor handy. Even if you don’t have C by GE bulbs,
the bulb adaptor can be used to improve the performance of some traditional
LED bulbs if you begin experiencing any performance issues.
If installing in a recessed can application, you may need to adjust the depth
of the recessed can to ensure the bulb is flush.
Go to: cbyge.com/switch-support for more helpful tips on when to use
the bulb adaptor.

NOTE: Both black wires on the switch are interchangeable
and can be connected to either the load or line wire from the wall.
1. Connect the first line/load (black) wire on the switch to the line
or load (black label) wire from the wall.
2. Connect the second line/load (black) wire on the switch to the line
or load (black label) wire from the wall.
3. Connect the ground
(green) wire on the switch with the ground
(green label) wire from the wall.
4. Cap the 3-way/multi-way traveler wire (if applicable).
For 3-way switch setup, visit cbyge.com/switch-support
5. Cap the neutral wire from the wall (if applicable).
Neutral wire is not required to operate this switch.
Attention: Incorrectly connecting the Ground wire from the wall
to the Line or Load wire on the switch will damage the product.
