Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each device you wish to add to the network.
NOTE: For your security, the USB stick must be within a few feet of the device to be able
to add it to your network. If this is not possible, please set up your network with a
portable remote controller and then copy this information to the USB stick (see Joining a
network, page # # ).
NOTE: To add a remote controller to the network, or to add any other device that does
not have a PROGRAM button, press the ADD DEVICE button and then put the device
into RECEIVE CONFIGURATION or REPLICATION RECEIVE mode.
NOTE: The process of adding a device to a Z-Wave network is often referred to as

to the network (see page # # ), but press the REMOVE DEVICE button instead of the ADD
DEVICE button.
NOTE: You can also reset devices from other networks using the REMOVE DEVICE button.
If the target device is part of another network, it will be reset instead of removed from
your network.
