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 uninten-
tional 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 ap-
pliance, 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 turn-
ing 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.
5. Double check programs for accuracy before using them.
WIRELESS RANGE
This device complies with the Z-Wave standard of open-air, line
of sight transmission distances of 65 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 net-
work. Most Z-Wave devices act as signal repeaters and multiple
devices result in more possible transmission routes which helps
eliminate “RF dead-spots”.
