7 Install Base

Place wires in the gang box and attach the Base.

UP Strain Reliefs

Before Proceeding

Avant de continuer

The strain reliefs are designed to bend to accommodate differences in gang box styles and mountings. Some bending of the strain reliefs is normal, but be careful not to overtighten. Once the strain reliefs start to bend, you can stop.

Turn the circuit breaker back on to provide power to the Base. Press the white button in the center to turn the light on and off. If the light does not turn on/off, do not install the Faceplate. Instead, turn the breaker off, remove the screws, and re-check your wire connections.

9 Secure Faceplate

Test the Base and secure the Faceplate.

Removing and replacing the display frame with a new color

Step 1

Before proceeding, remove the Faceplate from the Base. Put one hand above it, and grab both sides with the other hand. Then, slide it up and off.

Step 2

Next, with two hands and your fingers on the lower edge of the frame, gently pull slightly down on the rear edge of the frame until the clips come loose, and the bottom edge of the frame releases from the display.

Step 3

Pull forward. Once the lower edge comes loose, continue to rotate the bottom edge up until you can easily unclip the upper hooks from the top edge of the Faceplate.

To attach a new frame, clip the top clips onto the top edge of the Faceplate and then rotate it down until the frame is seated. To ensure the frame is properly clipped on, first squeeze the lower two corners and then squeeze the upper two corners. You can now reattach the Faceplate to the wall.
