USING MORNINGLINC
Tap MorningLinc’s Set button to toggle the door lock fixture locked and unlocked.
The MorningLinc Status LED will turn on solid if the door is locked or turn off if the door is
unlocked.
NOTE: The MorningLinc Status LED will follow the last INSTEON command it received. When the door is
manually locked/unlocked from the keypad or lock itself, the Status LED will not change until it receives
an INSTEON command (either from a linked controller or MorningLinc’s Set button). It may take 3-5
seconds for the door lock fixture to respond to INSTEON commands.
CONTROLLING MORNINGLINC FROM AN INSTEON CONTROLLER

MorningLinc includes a special feature that allows you to link individual commands to the On and Off
buttons on your control ler. For exam ple, you can link the door to lock when you press the On but ton and
unlock when you pres s the Off button on your controller, or vic e vers a. Refer to your controller’s Owne r’s
Manual for more detailed instructions on how to properly install and link it to MorningLinc.
NOTE: LOCK and UNLO CK commands must each be linked to separate button s. Commands c annot be
toggled unless you are using a controller that allows toggle mode (e.g., KeypadLinc).

an On/scene button for 10 seconds.)
You will have 4 minutes to complete the next step before linking mode automatically times out.

the controller will be erase d, even if the commands were linked to separate butt ons. After unlinking, you
