How to use
Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes. The switch is designed to be installed into a standard recessed wall box. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before beginning the installation process.

Once installed, the switch operates by pressing the single key to toggle the connected light or device on or off.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your wall box is compatible with recessed mounting requirements.
- Ensure the 10 A current rating is sufficient for your specific lighting or appliance load.

Usage recommendations
For optimal safety and longevity, ensure that the switch is kept clean and free from excessive debris. If installed in a bathroom, ensure it is placed outside of direct shower spray zones to maintain the integrity of the IP44 seal.
