Links Remember a Device’s StateLinks are One-Way
When linking INSTEON devices, the links that
are created are one-way.

Switch B cannot turn Switch A on or o.
INSTEON devices that can turn other devices

Grouping DevicesUse Cross Linking
You may want to group together two
devices, for example, in a virtual-three way
conguration. For INSTEON, this is called
cross linking.
ABLoad
To mirror Switch A and B so that they each
control one another and the connected
load, Cross Linking is necessary.
To Cross Link, simply turn on the devices and
perform the linking process twice, once in
each direction.

a network sends a message, every other node that hears the message retransmits it at
precisely the same time based on a global clock, provided that the message has not already
been retransmitted some maximum number of times. Message propagation is more robust
because each node adds its energy to the signal, much like voices in a choir. Simulcasting
is much simpler than message routing because there are no routing tables to maintain and
nodes can join the network without any installation procedure.

Your LED Bulb may be out of range of other INSTEON Devices or a large appliance may be generating electrical
noise, disrupting the INSTEON signal.
Try this:
• Check to make sure your LED Bulb is not connected to a dimmer. If so, remove the dimmer or relocate LED
Bulb to a non-dimming xture.
• Try relocating your LED Bulb to see if linking can be accomplished. If linking works normally in another area
of the house, consider adding additional INSTEON devices to extend and strengthen your network.
• Some home appliances like refrigerators, televisions and speaker docks may produce excessive electrical
noise. If you’ve recently added a new electronic device to your home, unplug it and try linking again. If LED
Bulb links normally, add a powerline noise lter to the problematic appliance.
LED Bulb is slow to respond
This issue most likely lies with the controller, not your LED Bulb; the controlling device is probably repeating
commands not being acknowledged by an INSTEON device that has been removed from the network. The
repeated commands are slowing down the INSTEON network, resulting in a delayed response from the LED
Bulb.
Try this:
• Consider if you have removed any INSTEON devices from your network that were part of the slow-torespond scene. If so, the links to these devices need to be removed from the controller. Use software to
examine the database of the controller or if you know the modules that were removed, manually remove
their links using the standard unlinking procedure.
• If you are unable to identify the missing devices, perform a factory reset on the controller. This will remove
all links from the controller’s database but will also require that you recongure the device’s scenes and
properties.
LED Bulb turned on or o by itself
Most likely, a device somewhere in the house has been linked to your LED Bulb.
Try this:
• As LED Bulb automatically enters linking mode every time it is powered on, it is possible to accidentally link
a device to LED Bulb in the brief period of time that the Bulb is in linking mode. You can use software like
HouseLinc to examine LED Bulb’s links to nd the stray connection.
I want to factory reset my LED Bulb
Because LED Bulb lacks a set button, there is no manual way to factory reset LED Bulb.
Try this:
• Using software like HouseLinc, manually remove all of the device links.

Certications and Warnings
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
The digital circuitry of this device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15B of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio and television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this device does cause such interference, which can be veried by turning the device
o and on, the user is encouraged to eliminate the interference by one or more of the following measures: •
Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna of the device experiencing the interference • Increase the distance
between this device and the receiver • Connect the device to an AC outlet on a circuit dierent from the one that
supplies power to the receiver • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.
WARNING: Changes or modications to this device not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
CAUTION - To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment do not install to control
a receptacle, a motor-operated appliance, a uorescent lighting xture, or a transformer-supplied appliance.

Le présent appareil est conforme à l’article 15C des règlements de la FCC et CNR d’Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout
brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Cet appareil a été testé et s’avère conforme aux restrictions relatives aux équipements numériques de classe B,
d’après l’article 15 des règlements du Conseil supérieur de l’audiovisuel américain (FCC). Ces restrictions ont
été instaurées pour orir une protection raisonnable contre les interférences nuisibles au sein d’une installation
résidentielle. Cet appareil génère, utilise et peut émettre des fréquences radio et s’il n’est pas installé selon les
instructions, peut nuire aux radiocommunications. Toutefois, rien ne garantit que des parasites ne surviendront
pas dans une installation particulière. Si cet appareil cause des interférences nuisibles à la réception du
téléviseur ou de la radio, ce que vous pouvez déterminer en ouvrant et en fermant votre appareil, nous vous
invitons à essayer l’une des mesures correctives suivantes : • Réorientez l’antenne de réception installée sur
l’appareil qui manifeste les parasites.
• Éloignez l’appareil du composant qui reçoit les ondes. • Branchez l’appareil dans une prise de courant CA
diérente de celle du composant qui reçoit les ondes. • Au besoin, consultez votre marchand électronique ou un
technicien spécialisé dans le service des radios/téléviseurs pour des suggestions supplémentaires.
