General Information about the Lightning
®
Switch System:
Warranty
The Lightning
®
Switch is covered by a limited lifetime warranty. Lightning
®
products are warranted to be free of defects in materials
and workmanship for the lifetime of the Purchaser. We will replace the defective product when it is returned by the Purchaser, along
with the original proof of purchase. This limited warranty applies to home use only and will be considered void if the unit is tampered
with or is subject to misuse, negligence or accidental damage.
How it works:
When the button on the transmitter (what appears to be the push-button “switch”) is pushed, a revolutionary piezoelectric device called
Lightning
®
is bent, producing enough electrical energy to send a coded radio frequency signal to the receiver. Lightning
®
is a special
laminated sandwich made up of metallic and piezoelectric ceramic layers. The piezoelectric ceramic is the part of the sandwich that
actually generates the electricity; the metallic layers maximize its performance. Each of the transmitters has its own unique ID code, so
you will never turn on the wrong thing in your house (or in the neighbor's house). Each transmitter's unique code can be matched with
one or many receivers. The matching of transmitters and receivers is accomplished in less than five seconds by pushing two buttons.
Please see the detailed instructions above.
The Lightning Switch system will transmit at least 75 feet (23 meters) from the transmitter to the receiver… through multiple walls,
floors, or doors… in a normal building environment. We have tested our current products to well over 350 feet through air.
You can create a 2, 3, 4 (or even a 30-way) switch system just by adding more transmitters. Remember that the actual switching occurs
at the receiver. Each receiver can accept commands from as many as 30 different transmitters (the pushbutton device on the wall that
you press with your finger). One transmitter can control as many receivers as you like.
If you buy another transmitter or receiver later, (even years later) the transmitters (or receivers) you purchase later will be fully
compatible with the system you purchase today. Because each transmitter uses a unique code which can be "learned" by any receiver,
the system is very flexible.
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
The Lightning
®
Switch system has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
z Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
z Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
z Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
z Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Underwriters Laboratories Statement
The Lightning
®
Switch system is listed with the Underwriters Laboratories. The system complies with all known safety requirements
when operated with reasonable care in accordance with the instructions.
