2. Repair and Refurbished
Goods or Parts Notice
Unfortunately, from time to time, faulty products are
manufactured which need to be returned to the Supplier
for repair.
Please be aware that if your product is capable of retaining
user-generated data (such as files stored on a computer
hard drive, telephone numbers stored on a mobile
telephone, songs stored on a portable media player,
games saved on a games console or files stored on a USB
memory stick) during the process of repair, some or all of
your stored data may be lost. We recommend you save
this data elsewhere prior to sending the product for repair.
You should also be aware that rather than repairing goods,
we may replace them with refurbished goods of the same
type or use refurbished parts in the repair process.

6. Safety instructions
6.1. Operational safety
• This device is not intended for use by
people (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental abilities or
by those without experience and/or
knowledge, unless they are supervised
by a person responsible for their safety or
they have been instructed in its use by that
person. Children should be supervised to
ensure they do not play with this device.
• Always adhere to the user instructions
of those devices that you connect to the
Powerline Adapters.
• Do not place liquid containers, e.g. vases,
on or near the device. The container may
tip over and the liquid may impair the
electrical safety of the device.
• Keep the device away from moisture and
from water in droplet or spray form. Avoid
vibrations, dust, heat and direct sunlight
in order to prevent malfunction. The
operating temperature is 5° - 35° C.

After sales support
• Never open the housing on the devices;
they do not contain any parts requiring
maintenance! There is a risk of electric
shock when the housing is open. This
would invalidate the warranty and may
render the device unusable.
• Plug the Powerline Adapter into freely
accessible sockets for your mains
electricity network so that it can be
quickly disconnected from the mains
electricity network in the event of danger.
• After transporting the device, wait until
it has reached room temperature before
switching it on. Major fluctuations in
temperature or humidity can lead to
condensation which could cause an
electrical short-circuit.
• To avoid static charges, you should not
operate the device in extremely dry
conditions.
• In circumstances where there are
electrostatic discharges, the device could
malfunction. In this case, the device must
be reset to the factory settings.

11. The SECURITY/RESET button
The SECURITY/RESET button has three functions
depending on how long it is pressed:
Seconds Function
1-2 Connects to an existing Powerline net-
work
5-8 Generates a random, unique network key
on the adapter and immediately separates
the device from an existing network.
10-15 Resets the adapter to the factory settings.
12. Connections
In order to create a network with the Powerline
Adapters, it is necessary for at least two adapters to be
connected for the purpose of transferring data.
There are two options available: A direct connection
between two network-capable devices or a
connection between a network-capable device and a
router (to the Internet).
Connect the Powerline Adapter to a wall socket (100-
240V~50/60Hz) near to the network-capable device.
NOTE
In order to ensure constant access to an existing
LAN network, it is necessary to permanently
supply the Powerline Adapter with electricity.

12.1. Notes on the electricity
connection
NOTE
Directly connect the Powerline Adapter to a
wall socket and not to an extension cable or
multiple socket adapter because otherwise
this may negatively influence the quality of
the data transmission. You can operate other
devices via the integrated power socket on
the Powerline Adapter.
If possible, directly plug the Powerline Adapter into
its own wall socket.
NOTE
If you cannot achieve a connection after
linking the adapter to a computer, try the
process again using a different wall socket.
Please note that the quality of the data
transmission is dependent on the load and
quality of your mains electricity network:

−The data transmission will slow down as the
length of the power line between the two
Powerline Adapters increases.
−Depending on the load placed on the mains
electricity network, the speed of the data
transmission may vary or even be interrupted.
−In the case of older mains electricity networks,
which do not correspond to the latest
technological standards, the data transmission
may be a little slower.
12.2. Connection with a network
device
In order to connect two network devices e.g. a PC
and a router together in a network using Powerline
Adapters, each of the two devices must be connected
to their own Powerline Adapter with a LAN cable (RJ-
45).
