Changing KeypadLinc Dimmer Buttons 

Use custom etched button to make your KeypadLinc your own 

The KeypadLinc button may be changed so you can customize its appearance.   

While we encourage you to customize your KeypadLinc, please be gentle in removing the keys. The 
buttons on the KeypadLinc require extra special care in removing the keycaps. Using a small, flat edged 
screwdriver, ONLY pry up on the sides of the keys from the middle of the keypad (as shown below). Make 
sure you are centered on the key as there is a small "lip" to pull up on located there. Should any damage 
occur to you KeypadLinc during the labeling, please contact Smarthome Customer Service at 1-800-762-
7846 and we will be happy to replace your frame.
