Troubleshooting

Switch is unresponsive.

Ensure power is restored at the mains. Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct within the backbox. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.

Lights flicker when switch is operated.

Check that the load is within the 10A rating. Ensure all connections are tight, as loose connections can cause arcing or intermittent contact. If using with LED bulbs, verify compatibility, as some LEDs require specific switch types.
