Insynctive® products.

Failure to adhere to the warnings below may result in death, serious injury and/or loss
of valuables.

• Pella Insynctive BRIDGE is not 100% reliable for a variety of reasons. For example, BRIDGE:

— communicates data wirelessly, and wireless data is susceptible to interference or failure.

— requires proper installation.

— may be damaged after installation.

Therefore, Pella Insynctive products should not be relied upon in situations where life, safety, and/or
protection of valuables are solely dependent on their function. Test each product at least once per
year to help ensure proper operation.

• BRIDGE may be connected to a non-Pella product such as a compatible home automation
system. All systems are subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons.
Review and comply with the information for the system that is connected with BRIDGE.

• Pella Insynctive products are not a substitute for careful adult supervision of children.

• Keep small parts out of the reach of children. If small parts are swallowed, immediately seek
medical help.

• Use only Pella-provided power supply and cord. Failure to do so may result in damage
to BRIDGE that would not be covered by the warranty.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

or a compatible home automation system.

BRIDGE can be operated without home automation (stand-alone mode), using the Insynctive App,
or can be used with home automation. For a list of compatible smart devices and home automation
systems, visit Pella.com/Insynctive.

WITHOUT HOME AUTOMATION (Stand-Alone Mode):

In stand-alone mode, BRIDGE will beep twice (if chime is enabled) when Pella Insynctive SENSORS
within the system change to opened or unlocked status. BRIDGE will provide current SENSOR status
to STATUS INDICATOR when STATUS INDICATOR senses motion within its field of range.
