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 controllers are considered secondary and can be used to create groups
and/or scenes and control your lighting however secondary controllers cannot add or delete devices from
your 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.

Z-WAVE TERMINOLOGY

Primary Controller: This is the main device used to set up and control your Z-Wave network. There can

only be one primary controller and it must be used to add or delete devices. A primary controller can be a
portable device like a hand-held remote, a static controller (permanently installed & never moved), a Z­Wave enabled PC or a Z-Wave enabled Ethernet router/bridge.

Secondary Controller: The Z-Wave network supports multiple controllers so the residents can use
additional Z-Wave remotes throughout the home. If the secondary controller is the same brand and
model as the primary, it will have all of the same capabilities as the primary with one exception; the
secondary controller can not be used to add or delete devices.

Slave: Devices within the Z-Wave network are either controllers or slaves. Most AC powered slaves also
function as repeaters in the network, and when required, relay the command signals to the destination
device. Battery powered devices like motion detectors are typically asleep and do not function as
repeaters

Home Control Network: Your controllers and every Z-Wave device you have added with the primary
controller are linked together into a wireless network. Each device in your network has a unique address
assigned to it and cannot be activated by your neighbor’s Z-Wave controller.

Light/Node/Device: Node is the technical term used to describe a Z-Wave device in your home control
network. Please note that the terms “Node”, “Device” and “Light” all refer to an individual Z-Wave
enabled device and are interchangeable within the context of these instructions.

Group: Multiple Z-Wave devices can be turned ON or OFF with a single command when they are placed
into a Group. One example would be grouping your porch light, exterior garage lights and patio lights
together so that they could all be turned ON if you hear a strange sound in the middle of the night.

Scene: A scene lets you establish preset brightness levels for multiple Z-Wave controlled lights and then
control them with one command. This is ideal for mood or task lighting. Scene 1 could be the family
room lights set to dim for watching TV. Scene 2 could have the same lights set to a different brightness
level for other activities like reading or entertaining.

Event: An event is something you want to happen at a specific time and day. This could be everyday, a
specific day of the week, Monday through Friday, Saturday & Sunday only, or a one time occurrence.
Events can be set up to control an individual device, a group or a scene.

Replication: This is the Z-Wave term for copying your lighting control network information to a new
controller.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Three “AAA” Alkaline batteries (not included) are required.

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.

! WARNING

RISK OF FIRE
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
RISK OF BURNS

Controlling Appliances:

Exercise extreme caution when using Z-Wave devices to control appliances. Operation of the Z-Wave
device may be in a different room than the controlled appliance, also an unintentional activation may
occur if the wrong button on the remote is pressed. Z-Wave devices may automatically be powered on
due to timed event programming. Depending upon the appliance, these unattended or unintentional
operations could possibly result in a hazardous condition. For these reasons, we recommend the
following:

1. Assign Z-Wave controlled appliances to device numbers 10 – 18 on the GE remote. The likelihood of
unintentionally turning on the appliance will be reduced significantly because the “Shift” button will
need to be pressed before pressing device numbers 10-18.

2. Z-Wave devices controlling appliances should be removed from “All” control setting. Instructions on
how to do this are included in the manual for your GE remote.

3. Do Not include Z-Wave devices in Groups or Scenes if they control appliances.

4. Do Not use Z-Wave devices to control electric heaters or any other appliances which may present a
hazardous condition due to unattended or unintentional or automatic power on control.

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

WIRELESS RANGE

This device complies with the Z-Wave standard of open-air, line of sight transmission distances of 20
meters or approximately 66 feet. Actual performance in a home depends on the number of walls between
the remote controller and the destination device, the type of construction and the number of Z-Wave
enabled devices installed in the control network. Every Z-Wave enabled device acts as a signal repeater
and multiple devices result in more possible transmission routes which helps eliminate “RF dead-spots”.

Things to consider regarding RF range:

 Each wall or obstacle (i.e.: refrigerator, big screen TV, etc.) between the remote and the

destination device will reduce the maximum range of 100 feet by approximately 25-30%.

 Brick, tile or concrete walls block more of the RF signal than walls made of wooden studs and

plasterboard (drywall).

45633 Instructions rev 1-a.doc Page 3 of 14 1/13/2010

 Wall mounted Z-Wave devices installed in metal junction boxes will suffer a significant loss of

Please Note: Z-Wave home control networks are designed to work properly alongside 802.11 wireless
computer networks, Bluetooth and other 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz devices. Some baby cams, wireless video
devices and older cordless phones using the 900MHz frequency range may cause interference and limit
Z-Wave functionality. Many 900MHz products have a switch to select channel “A” or “B”. You may find
that one of these channels will cause less interference than the other.

NOTES ON NETWORK MANAGEMENT

1. 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.

2. If the screen displays FAILURE during the setup or programming process, you have

pressed an invalid key or the desired action has not been successfully completed Please
try again. Some Z-Wave devices may have to be within two feet of the remote during the
setup process.
