radio will be cut off.
To Test a Non-SmartLock GFCI
Follow steps 1-4. If the GFCI does not trip when you push the TEST button and power to
the lamp or radio is not cut off, contact a licensed electrical contractor.
IMPORTANT: The SmartLock RESET button will not restore power if the GFCI is damaged
and cannot respond to a ground fault. The RESET button on a non-SmartLock GFCI will
always restore power, even if the GFCI is damaged and cannot respond to a ground fault.

Technical Information – Frequently Asked Questions
Although the National Electrical Code has required 2-pole, 3-wire grounding circuits for several
years, there are still many homes with 2-pole, 2-wire circuits and 2-prong receptacles. You cannot
simply bring these homes up to modern code standards by replacing non-grounding receptacles
with the 3-prong grounding types. A qualified electrician will have to verify that there is a
continuous ground path at each receptacle, which may require circuit rewiring. An alternate
solution is to install a GFCI in place of the non-grounding receptacle.
Section 406.3 (D) of the National Electrical Code permits a non-grounding type receptacle to be
replaced with a grounding type receptacle without a grounding connection. However, the
grounding receptacle must be GFCI-protected.
The diagram below shows a typical non-grounding (2-prong) receptacle replaced with a GFCI.
The GFCI must be marked, “No Equipment Ground.” The GFCI can feed through to a grounding
receptacle, which must be marked “GFCI Protected. No Equipment Ground.”
For increased electrical
safety, Leviton strongly
recommends installing a
GFCI in every non-
grounding circuit. A
ground wire provides
protection by offering a
parallel path back to
ground for any fault
current. Without a ground wire, fault current will try and take other paths to ground and a GFCI
will trip and cut power under these hazardous conditions. Ground faults are more likely to occur
in non-grounding circuits and a GFCI will help protect family members from this potentially
hazardous condition.
