Installation Considerations
1. Connect PowerLine devices into electrical outlets that are not controlled by a
wall switch. This will help you to avoid accidentally turning o power to the
device.
2. Do not connect your PowerLine devices to extension cords, surge protectors, or
power strips. Doing this might prevent your devices from working correctly, or
may reduce network performance.
3. Avoid plugging your PowerLine devices into electrical outlets that are located
near appliances that use a lot of power, such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators.
Doing this could prevent the adapter from working correctly, or may negatively
impact network performance.
4. Verify that your PowerLine devices are electrically rated to operate with the
power available in your location.
5. Be sure to plug the power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets in
order to help prevent against electrical shock.

• For best results, use in a regular wall outlet without any other devices plugged
in. Plugging into a power strip or a surge protector may adversely aect the
performance of this product.
• Avoid using the PowerLine adapters in an electrical outlet that is located near
an appliance that uses a lot of power, such as a washer or dryer, refrigerator,
microwave, hair dryer, or air conditioning unit.
• To verify connectivity or if you are having connection problems, plug the
adapters in the same room to verify whether your home’s electrical wiring is
contributing to the issue. The adapters’PowerLine LED indicators will illuminate
if the connection is established. Once congured you may place the adapter in
the location of your choice.
