### General Usage Information

## How to test Z-Wave network range for my Power Switch?

You can easily check if the Power Switch is within your Z-Wave controller’s range:  
Press and hold the Z-Wave button for 6 to 9 seconds until the LED indicator turns violet.

The LED indicator will then report signal strength.

  * Flashing green = direct communication with the primary controller is established and still being diagnosed 
  * Solid green for 2 seconds = direct communication with the primary controller is stable 
  * Flashing orange = direct communication with the primary controller is intermittent and being diagnosed 
  * Solid orange = communication quality is fair 
  * Solid red = communication with the primary controller has failed

Press and release the Z-Wave button to exit testing mode.

## The LED indicator on your Power Switch will visually report power consumption and network range.

How to read LED indicator colors?

  * Pink = Power Switch is off
  * Blue = 0 – 300 W
  * Cyan = 300 – 600 W
  * Green = 600 – 900 W
  * Yellow = 900 – 1200 W
  * Red = 1200 – 1500 W
  * Purple = 1500 – 1800 W
  * Purple blink = over 1800 W
