INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the GE SmartHome™ Remote. Your home control network can include up to 232 Z-Wave enabled devices. This remote allows you to control up to 18 individual Z-Wave devices with one easy-to-use, compact unit. You can also set up and control up to 18 groups of lights as well as 18 scenes for task or mood lighting. Each group can include up to 232 Z-Wave devices and each scene can include up to 32 Z-Wave devices. Lights can be included in multiple groups. Scenes can include lights from different groups.

Please note: The terms “Device”, “Node” and “Light” all refer to an individual Z-Wave enabled device in your home control network and are interchangeable within the context of these instructions.

If this remote is used as the primary controller, you must use it to create your control network. You can use multiple remote controls with your Z-Wave lighting control network, however, only one remote will act as the primary controller. The primary controller must be used to add or delete devices (lights / nodes) from your network. All other remotes are considered secondary and can be used to create groups and/or scenes and control your lighting however secondary remotes cannot add or delete devices from your control network.

NOTE: This product can be operated in one Z-Wave network with Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications. The different listening nodes within the network can act as repeaters regardless of vendor.

For best results, please read and perform all the remaining instructions before using the remote. Keep this guide for future reference.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Three “AAA” Alkaline batteries (not included) are required.

CAUTION

Battery Use And Safety

•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

•Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

•If you do not plan to use the remote for an extended period, remove the batteries. They can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

•Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

To Install Batteries:

1.Open the battery compartment cover (located on the back of the remote).

2.Note the + and - polarity symbols inside the battery compartment.

3.Insert the batteries, making sure their polarity matches the symbols in the compartment.

4.Replace the cover.

NOTE: When the red LED blinks 5 times after a key press, you must replace the batteries. The remote retains all its user settings while replacing the batteries.

NOTES ON NETWORK MANAGEMENT:

Add a node, group or scene can also be referred to as include a node, group or scene. Remove a node, group or scene can also be referred to as Exclude a node, group or scene.

ADDING A DEVICE (NODE / LIGHT) TO THE NETWORK

In order to control the lights, they must be Z-wave enabled and you must first add them to your home network. To add a device to your home network without assigning it to a specific number key, perform the following steps:

1. Press and hold SETUP until both the red and green LEDs blink twice.

2. Press ADD once. (Red LED blinks once)

3. Press LIGHT once. (Red LED blinks once)

4. Press LIGHT again. (Green LED blinks rapidly)

5. Press the button on the device so that it sends its information to the remote and

receives information from the remote.

6. When the green LED blinks twice, you have successfully added the device to

7.The device can now be added to Groups and/or Scenes.

NOTE: If the red LED emits one long, steady blink, you have pressed an invalid key or the device has not been successfully added to your home network. Please make sure the remote is within two feet of the device and try again.

ADDING A LIGHT (DEVICE / NODE) TO YOUR REMOTE

You can add a maximum of 18 lights to your remote so that they can be controlled individually. Adding a device to your remote also adds it to your network. If the device number you are trying to add is already associated with another device, the previous information is lost.

To add a device to your remote, perform the following steps:

1.Press and hold SETUP until both the red and green LEDs blink twice.

2.Press ADD once. (Red LED blinks once)

3.Press LIGHT once. (Red LED blinks once)

4.Press a digit (1-9) for the device location you wish to add. Press SHIFT and the digit (1-9) if you are adding devices 10 through 18. (Green LED

blinks rapidly)

5.Press the button on the device so that it sends its information to the remote and receives information from the remote.

6.When the green LED blinks twice, you have successfully added the device to your remote control.

NOTE: If the red LED emits one long, steady blink, you have pressed an invalid key or the device has not been successfully added to your remote. Please make sure the remote is

within two feet of the device and try again.

REMOVING AN INDIVIDUAL DEVICE (LIGHT / NODE) FROM YOUR REMOTE

1.Press and hold SETUP until both the red and green LEDs blink twice.

2.Press REMOVE once. (Red LED blinks once)

3.Press LIGHT once. (Red LED blinks once)

4.Press a digit (1-9) for the device location you wish to remove. Press SHIFT and the digit (1-9) if you are removing devices 10 through 18.

5.When the green LED blinks twice, you have successfully removed the device from your remote control.

Compatible with all Z-WAVE products.

DELETING A DEVICE (LIGHT / NODE) FROM YOUR NETWORK

To remove a device from your home network, you must delete it from the network. To delete the device from your network, perform the following steps:
