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 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 while you are installing one of 
    these modules. 

    Low-voltage electricity flows through the circuit controlled by a 
    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 - plugs into a regular 22V 15A or 20A outlet
   Module (610-2668)           and will control any 220V appliance rated at
                               15A or less. 

   220V Heavy Duty Appliance - plugs into a regular 220V 20A outlet and
   Module (610-2669)           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 lights  
                               up to 300 watts max and 60 watts min.  The  
                               610-2682 lamp module is rated for up to 500 
                               watts max. Both units respond to "All Lights 
                               On" and "All Units Off."
