4. Continue to hold the SET button until it reaches the desired setting.
The status will change every 6 seconds, i.e. hold the SET button
for another 6 seconds, you will see the number of flashes changes
from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, etc.
Note: Once the number of flashes reaches 5, it will stay at this setting. If
you would like to go back to other settings, such as 1 minute, release the
button and repeat from step 3 to start over.
Once a transmitter (button) is programmed for timer mode, activating this
programmed transmitter (button) will turn on the light for the specific timer
interval.
During a timer count down, if the module receives another signal for
timer operation, the timer will start again and overrides the previous timer,
therefore, extending the ON period by another timer duration.
To stop timer count down, press a programmed button in regular mode.
If a transmitter is programmed under Regular operating mode, the
programmed transmitter can control the lights either in:
1) On / Off Mode - Allows operating the light either on or off, without
dimming function.
2) Dimming Mode - Allows operating the light in on, off or dimming
(dim / brighten) modes. Light must be either incandescent light or
dimmable compact fluorescent light.
Transmitter can only be used to operate the light when the wall switch is
in the ON position. If the wall switch is in the OFF position, no power is
provided to the Screw-In Dimmer, therefore it cannot receive signals from
the transmitter.

brightness. Hold the button until the desired brightness is reached,
then release the button.
Press and hold the same button again on the transmitter to change the
brightness again in the opposite way. When the desired brightness is
reached, then release the button.
Refer to the user's instructions of the transmitter for more detailed
instructions for dimming operation, as well as other operations such as
Zone On / Zone Off, All On / All Off etc.

2. Press and hold the button on the transmitter that is programmed to
the module in “Regular” Mode for 10 seconds.
3. The light will flash. If it flashes once, that means it is in On / Off Mode.
If the light flashes twice, that means it is in Dimming Mode.
4. Repeating step 2 above will toggle the setting between On / Off Mode
and Dimming Mode.

5. REGULAR OPERATING MODE (CONT)
To toggle a receiver between these two states, re-program a transmitter
twice consecutively to the receiver. Referring to Section 3, repeat the
programming steps twice consecutively with a transmitter that is already
programmed, the receiver will change state.
1. Power On - Light On:
1) You may use the wall switch to control the light as usual. When the
wall switch is off, the light is off. When the wall switch is on, the light is
on.
2) After a power outage and the electricity comes back, the light will be
on if the wall switch is in On position.
2. Power On - Light Off:
1) A special sequence is needed to turn on the light by the wall switch.
To turn on the light by the wall switch: 1) Switch On, 2) Switch Off,
3) Switch On again within 2 seconds. Light will be on.
2) After a power outage and electricity comes back, the light will be off
under most of the circumstances.
WARNING
Non-dimmable load has to be always working under ON/OFF mode.
Using non-dimmable load under dimming mode may damage the
non-dimmable CFL.
On / Off Mode Operation
The Screw-In Dimmer allows on / off operation, when the programmed
button is activate, it will transmit a signal to toggle the status of the light
status. For example, if a toggle signal is received when the light is off, that
signal will turn on the light.
In case the transmitter is not on hand, you can still operate the lighting
with the wall switch. This receiver offers two optional states after powered
on, choose the one which fits your requirement.
6. FLASHING ALERT OPERATING MODE
If a Flashing Alert Mode transmitter or sensor is activated, the light
connected to the Screw-In Dimmer will flash for a predetermined time
interval. During the flashing interval, the red LED on the Screw-In
Dimmer will flash. Activating a programmed transmitter or sensor under
Regular Mode or Countdown Timer Mode during flashing interval can
override flashing alert operation.
