CAUTIONS:
• Disconnect power at circuit breaker or fuse when servicing, installing or removing fixture.
• Use only one (1) Leviton electronic countdown timer switch in a multi-location circuit with up to 9 Wired Switch Companions (VP0SR-10) or up to 4 Wired Switch Companions (VP0SR-1L).
• Maximum wire length from Timer Switch to all installed Wired Switch Companions cannot exceed 300 ft (90 m).
• Use this device only with copper or copper-clad wire only.
• Recommended minimum wallbox depth is 2-1/2 in.

• To avoid damage to the product, DO NOT use disinfecting products, including foggers, sprays or other types of atomized cleaning agents. DO NOT spray liquid onto the product.
To clean use a damp cloth with mild soap.
IMPORTANT: For 3-way applications, note that one of the screw terminals
from the old switch being removed will usually be a different color (Black)
or labeled Common. Tag that wire with electrical tape and identify as
Pliers

Preparing and connecting wires:
Step 3
Pull off pre-cut insulation from timer switch leads. Make sure
that the ends of the wires from the wallbox are straight (cut if
necessary). Remove insulation from each wire in the wallbox as
shown:
