Air Gap
To remove all power from SwitchLinc and connected light(s), pull the Set button at the bottom of the
switch out as far as it will go, about 1/8”. (It might be helpful to use a small screwdriver.) This will open
mechanical contacts creating an Air Gap.
To restore power, tap the air gap back into place, until its top is even with the trim frame.
Note: If you press Set button in too far, you might inadvertently reset the INSTEON device to its factory
default settings. Make sure to only push the Set button down so that it is flush with trim frame.

Rates, X10 addresses, etc.
