4. Follow the instruction of the Z-Wave device that you want to unpair. Typically the button press on the Z-Wave
device is a single tap, but some have special button presses (ie. hold for 2 seconds and release, triple tap,
double tap, etc).
Z-Stick Gen5+ LED will confirm if it paired something successfully by showing a solid blue LED for 2
seconds before returning to a fast blinking Amber color LED.
5. Repeat step 3 for any device you want to unpair if you have multiple devices that you need to exclude.
6. When done, tap the button once on Z-Stick Gen5+ to bring it out of unpair/exclude mode. The LED will de-
activate.
