The Tools You’ll Need

1. Turn Off Power
   Locate your circuit breaker panel and turn off the power to each switch you are replacing Caution :
   Risk of shock.
   Make sure the power to every switch you are replacing has been turned off before installation.
   Please call a professional electrician if you are not familiar with electrical work.

Verify Power Is Off

Press each light switch at the location you’re doing the installation to con- firm the power is off.
If a light turns on, return the panel to turn off the correct circuit. We recommend you to remove the faceplate from the old switch and use electrical tester to test all wires connected to the switch to ensure there is no voltage in the circuit.
You may need to turn off more than one circuit breaker.

Pull Out Old Switch

Unscrew the old switch and pull it out of the wall. Do not remove any wires.

Find the NEUTRAL Wires

A neutral is required to install the smart light switch.
Make sure there are NEUTRAL wires (most likely a bundle of one or more white wires) in the wall. Unless you are replacing an existing smart switch, it’s probably not connected to your old switch. Note : If there is no neutral, please try another location or call an electrician for help.

Test NEUTRAL and GROUND Wires

Make sure there is no power on the neutral wires from a neighboring circuit. If necessary, shut off the additional circuits until no voltage is found.

• Label the NEUTRAL and GROUND wire in the wall with the stickers in the package.
  GROUND wires are usually BARE COPPER or GREEN.

Identify Line and Load Wire

Label the LINE wire in the wall with the “Line” sticker.
Label the LOAD wire in the wall with the “Load” sticker.
How to identify Line and Load?

• Turn on the power and make sure that the switch is off.
  If not, please turn off the switch and turn off the light. (Be careful not to touch any wires)

• Use an electrical tester to measure the two wires (usually black) connected to the old switch, the Line and Load can be identified according to the measurement method of the electrical tester. (The tester will flash or chirp when it comes close to a Line wire) Note : If the Line and Load wires are reversely connected, the switch wil I not work.

Take Pictures of the Wiring

Take one or two pictures of the old switch and where each wire is connected to it, in case you need guidance to repeat the installation.
Note: Make sure all of the text on the labels in the pictures is clearly displayed.

Remove Existing Switch

Loosen the screw terminals and remove the old switch.

Wire the Smart Switch

Remove the sticker securing the wires on the new switch.

• Connect NEUTRAL/GROUND Wires
  Use wire nuts to connect the neutral and ground wires on the Treatlife Light Switch to the labeled wires coming from the wall in order.

• Connect LINE/LOAD Wires
  Use wire nuts to connect the line and load wires on the Treatlife Light Switch to the labeled wires coming from the wall in order.

Install Light Switch Into the Wall

Hold the wire nuts and gently pull each wire to make sure the wire nuts are secure. Carefully push the wires deep into the switch box. Attach the Light Switch to the switch box with the screws provided. Finally, snap on the faceplate.

Note: Do not over tighten the screws, as it could restrict the operation of the switch.

Turn on Power

Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

• Press the on/off button to con-firm whether the switch is powered on/off normally. If the light fxture can not be turned off/on, the wiring may be incorrect or the nuts are loose. (In this case, the most likely problem is that the line and load wires are reversely connected.) Please refer to the instructions in the manual or call an electrician for help.
  If you encounter any problems, please contact us via email: [email protected]
  (Please be sure to attach the wiring pictures of the old switch in step 7 )
