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.

NOT FOR USE WITH MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT

Z-Wave enabled devices should never be used to supply power to, or control
the On/Off status of medical and/or life support equipment

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
