Install the Switch
To install your switch on a flat surface, you do not need any special tools. Be
sure the switch is positioned with at least 2 inches of space on all sides for
ventilation.
To install the switch on a wall, measure the distance between the mounting holes
on the back of the switch and mark the wall to match the location of the
mounting holes on the switch. At the marked location, screw into the wall the
two screws that you received with the mounting kit included in your package
contents. Be sure to choose a location that is near the devices to be connected, is
close to an electrical outlet, and provides at least 2 inches of space all around the
switch for ventilation.
