1. Before disconnecting the wires from the switch, label each wire with
the provided labels.
Line:
Based on STEP 4, label the LINE wire that did test positive for voltage.
Load:
Based on STEP 4, label the LOAD wire that did not test positive for voltage.
Neutral:
Standard switches do not require them, but the neutral wires will be present
in the box. Look for two or more wires (usually white) not connected to the
switch and grouped together with a wire nut. In the event that only one
switch box has a neutral, use STEP 7.B for additional wiring instructions.
Ground:
These are usually a group of bare copper or green wires that are sometimes
connected to the green ground terminal of the original switch. If not
connected to the original switch, they should be in the back of the box.
Travelers:
The traveler wires are connected to the brass screws on the original switches.
These wires are in the same sheathed cable and should be different colors
that can vary between black, white, or red. One of these wires will be used
to provide power to the C by GE Smart Switch on the load side of the circuit.
If only one box has a neutral wire, the second traveler will be used as well.
Follow instructions shown on STEP 7.B for this situation.
NOTE: If you're installing a 4-way switch, the travelers will be connected
to the copper colored and black screws.
