1.2 Intended use
Use devolo products, devolo software and the provided accesso-
ries as described to prevent damage and injury.
Products
devolo products are communication devices designed for in-
doors.* Depending on the product, they are equipped with a
PLC-(PowerLine Communication) and/or a Wi-Fi module. Com-
puters, laptops, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs and other de-
vices connected this way are integrated into a home network over
the existing electrical wiring and/or Wi-Fi without any complica-
ted wiring. devolo devices must never be used outdoors because
the high temperature fluctuations and moisture can damage both
the product and the power line. devolo products may not be in-
stalled at a height above two metres unless an additional fas-
tening mechanism is available. The products are intended for
operation in the EU, Switzerland and Norway.
* The only exceptions are devolo outdoor products, which are sui-
ted for the outdoor use thanks to their IP certification.
Software
devolo devices can be used only with the free, downloadable
programs approved and available on devolo AG's website
(www.devolo.com) and in app stores (iOS and Google Play). Any
modifications to the product-specific firmware or software could
damage the products and, in the worst-case scenario, render
them unusable and negatively affect conformity.
Always use the most up-to-date software version to make sure
you have the latest security functions and device updates. The in-
stalled devolo software notifies you automatically if a new soft-
ware version is available.
The manufacturer/distributing company
uses the CE marking to declare that the
product meets all applicable European reg-
ulations and has been subjected to the pre-
scribed conformity assessment procedures.
It is used to prevent the occurrence of waste
electrical and electronic equipment and to
reduce this type of waste through reuse,
recycling and other forms of utilisation. The
European Community WEEE Directive estab-
lishes minimum standards for handling
waste electrical and electronic equipment in
the EU.

Do not plug devolo devices directly into each other. De-
vices that are plugged into each other can experience a
decrease in transmission rate.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by electricity
Device must be plugged into a power socket with a
connected earth wire
devolo devices may be operated only on a mains power supply
as described on the rating plate.
To disconnect devolo devices from the mains supply, unplug the
device from the electrical socket.
The power socket and all connected network devices should be
easily accessible so that you can pull the power plug quickly if
needed.

2Introduction
2.1 devolo Magic
Home is where devolo Magic is – in no time at all,
devolo Magic transforms your house or flat into a multimedia
home of the future with noticeably higher speed, more stability
and greater range, providing the perfect Internet experience as a
result!
Be inspired by products that are astonishingly easy to install, with
impressive, innovative technology and unbeatable performance.
The product name concept
The devolo Magic 1 LAN 1-1 name concept has the following
structure:
Be ready for the technology of the future today
devolo Magic embodies the new generation of the tried-and-test-
ed Powerline technology (PLC) based on the cutting-edge G.hn
architecture. G.hn was developed by the International Telecom-
munication Union (ITU) with ongoing development provided pri-
marily by the HomeGrid Forum industry association.
devolo Magic products are certified according to HomeGrid
standards and are compatible with other HomeGrid-certified
products.
Like the HomePlug AV technology used in established devolo
dLAN devices, devolo Magic uses the household mains supply for
data transmission and secures ideal performance and stability in
locations where network cables are not viable or desired and/or
the WiFi frequently falls short due to ceilings and walls.
