2. Next to an existing gang box, using the provided 3M Command™ Strip and a multiple switch faceplate of your choice (not included).
3. Installed directly into a gang box using a standard rocker style faceplate (not included).

Whichever method you choose, ensure your iDevices Instant Switch is installed perfectly by using the built-in level.

INSTALL ON A WALL

• To mount your Instant Switch directly onto a wall, first thoroughly clean the wall’s surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt or dust.
• Remove the plastic backing to the Command™ Strip and align the strip with the recessed area on the back of the Instant Switch.
• Peel off the other side of the plastic backing and ensure that the product is level before pressing firmly to the wall. Hold for 30 seconds.
• Install the magnetic iDevices faceplate, or a rocker style faceplate of your choice. If the faceplate you choose requires screws, use the shorter, 6mm screws provided to anchor the faceplate to the Instant Switch.

INSTALL NEXT TO GANG BOX

• Install the 3M Command™ Strip onto the back of the Instant Switch.
• Mount the faceplate onto the Instant Switch using the provided 6mm screws.
• Peel off the plastic backing of the 3M Command™ Strip.
• Carefully line up your faceplate with the existing wall switches and press to the wall for 30 seconds.
• Install the remaining faceplate screws into the adjacent wall switch(es).

INSTALL INTO GANG BOX

• Turn OFF the power to the circuit you are working on at your home’s breaker or fuse panel.
• Install the ground wire assembly onto the access door of the Instant Switch.
• Connect the ground wire on the Instant Switch to the ground wire in the gang box, which is usually bare copper or green.
• If you choose this method of installation, do not use the 3M Command™ Strip on the back of the product. Instead, use the longer, 22mm screws provided to mount it onto the gang box.
• Install a rocker switch faceplate (not included) using the shorter, 6mm screws provided to anchor the faceplate to the Instant Switch.
• Turn the power back ON at your circuit breaker.

NOTE : It is not intended to use the iDevices faceplate when mounting the iDevices Instant Switch in a gang box. Instead, use a standard rocker faceplate of your choice (not included).
