WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
• When multiple bulbs are used with one dimmer DO NOT mix bulb types. All bulbs shall be either LED; CFL
or incandescent. Using the same make/model of each bulb will enhance performance.
• Use only one (1) dimmer in a 3 or 4-way circuit. The switch(es) will turn the light on at the brightness level selected
at the dimmer.
• To avoid overheating and possible damage to this device and other equipment, DO NOT install to control a
receptacle, a motor or a transformer-operated appliance, or any other lighting sources than those specified.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
• TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH: TURN OFF POWER at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off
before wiring or servicing fixture!
• TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH: use with compatible dimmable LED and CFL bulbs, incandescent or 120V
halogen fixtures only. For a complete list of compatible LED and CFL bulbs refer to www.leviton.com/universal.
• To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician.
• Use this device with copper or copper clad wire only.
• Green or bare copper wall box wire to terminal screw marked "GR".
• Line Hot wall box wire to terminal screw marked "BK".
• Load wall box wire to terminal screw marked "RD".
• Remaining dimmer terminal screw marked "RD" should have an
