PLUG `N POWER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

*  Do no attempt to control lights or appliances that exceed the ratings 
   of the modules.  If you want to control appliances that exceed the 
   ratings of the standard modules, ask the personnel at your local Radio 
   Shack store for information. 

*  Use extreme care when controlling a potentially dangerous product, such 
   as a heating appliance, as part of your plug `n power system.  Use a 
   separate unit code exclusively for such devices. 

*  If you want to control fluorescent, mercury vapor, sodium vapor, or 
   low-voltage lights, ask your Radio Shack salesperson for assistance. 

*  Do not use lamp dimmer modules to control light fixtures that have 
   built-in dimmers. 

*  Do not use Wall Switch or 3-Way Switch modules to replace switches that 
   control wall outlets or non-lighting devices. 

*  The wall switch and outlet modules require direct connection to your 
   house wiring.  If you are not familiar with typical house wiring  
   installations, we suggest that you have these types of modules  
   professionally installed.  In any case, be sure that the electricity 
   is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse panel while you are 
   installing one of these modules. 

*  Low-voltage electricity flows through the circuit controlled by a 
   wall switch module even when the switch is off.  This is necessary for 
   proper operation of the switch module.  You can completely turn off the 
   electricity by setting the switch's disable switch to off (left). 

Don't exceed the ratings of the Modules, these are: 

Lamp Module (610-2682) - 300 watts max. incandescent only. 

Lamp Module (610-6291  - for fluorescent lighting, switch-controlled 
             CMC)        appliances, or high-wattage incandescent lighting 
                         where dimming not required.  15 Amp.  

Wall Switch Module (610-2683)- 500 watts max. 60 watts min. incandescent 
                               only. 

Wall Switch Module (610-6375 -  can be mounted at a fluorescent fixture 
                    CMC)        by means of adhesive strips.  4Amp. 

Appliance Module (610-2681)- for appliances rated 15 Amp. resistive            
                             (such as coffee pots) or 1/3 H.P. motor        
                             load, or 400 watts for TV sets or 500 
                             watts for lamps. 

220V Heavy Duty Appliance Module (610-2668) - plugs into a regular 22V 15A 
                                              or 20A outlet and will  
                                              control any 220V appliance  
                                              rated at 15A or less. 

220V Heavy Duty Appliance Module (610-2669) - plugs into a regular 220V 20A 
                                              outlet and will control any 
                                              220V appliance rated at 20A 
                                              or less. 

Wall Switch and Lamp Module - For safety: Don't use with fluorescent,  
(610-2683 and 610-2682)       Mercury, Sodium or Low Voltage lights.  Use  
                              for incandescent lights only.  NO  
                              appliances such as fans etc.  Don't use to 
                              control a lamp or fixture which already has a         
                              dimmer on it.  Don't use a Wall Switch Module 
                              to control an outlet unless you are sure no  
                              one will plug an appliance into the outlet.  
                              This could damage the Wall Switch Module  
                              and/or the appliance and could cause a safety 
                              hazard. 

                              The 610-2683 Wall Switch is rated for  
                              incandescent lights up to 300 watts max and  
                              60 watts min.  The 610-2682 lamp module is  
                              rated for incandescent lights up to 500 
                              watts max. Both units respond to "All Lights 
                              On" and "All Units Off."
