4. Safety instructions
4.1. Operating safety
• This device is not intended for use by peo-
ple (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental abilities or by
those without experience and/or knowl-
edge, unless they are supervised by a per-
son responsible for their safety or they
have been instructed in its use by that per-
son. Children should be supervised to en-
sure they do not play with this device.
• You must also comply with the operating
instructions of the devices that you con-
nect to the Powerline Adapter.
• Do not place liquid-filled containers, such
as vases, on or near the device. The con-
tainer may tip over and the liquid may im-
pair the electrical safety of the device.
• Keep the device away from moisture and
from water in droplet or spray form. Avoid
knocks, dust, heat and direct sunlight in
order to prevent malfunction. The operat-
ing temperature is 5–35°C.

• Never open the device housing; it contains
no parts requiring maintenance! There is
a risk of electric shock when the housing
is open. This invalidates the warranty and
may render the device unusable.
• Plug the Powerline Adapter into freely ac-
cessible mains sockets so that it can quick-
ly be disconnected from the electricity
network in case of danger.
• After transporting the device, wait un-
til it has reached room temperature be-
fore switching it on. Major fluctuations in
temperature or humidity can lead to con-
densation which could cause an electrical
short-circuit.
• To avoid static charges, you should not op-
erate the device in extremely dry condi-
tions.
• In circumstances where there are electro-
static discharges, the device could mal-
function. In this case, the device must be
reset to the factory settings.

4.2. Electromagnetic
compatibility
• You must comply with the European di-
rectives on electromagnetic compati-
bility (EMC) when making connections.
Maintain a distance of at least one metre
from high-frequency and magnetic sourc-
es of noise (TV set, loudspeakers, mobile
phones, etc.) in order to avoid malfunc-
tions and data loss.
4.3. Notes on conformity
Medion AG hereby declares that the prod-
uct MD 90222 (consisting of two devices)

quirements:

The two supplied adapters are already synchronized,
the encryption is enabled and you can send and re-
ceive data without the need for any further set-up. Ad-
ditional Powerline Adapters be connected to the net-
work by means of a simple cable connection.
You can use the Powerline WLAN Adapter to connect
additional devices wirelessly and thus access your
network (see Chapter 11“11. Connecting the device
via Wi-Fi with the Powerline WLAN Adapter”on page
23).
The encryption function will protect your private Pow-
erline Network from unwanted third-party access (see
Chapter“14. Adding further adapters to the Powerline
network”on page 40)
