3. Prepare the wiring in the wall box by stripping away
12mm(½") of insulation from the end of each wire.
12 mm (½")
4. Connect the mFi Outlet wires to the wall box wires and
secure each connection with a Wire Nut.
a. Connect the Black wire of the mFi Outlet to the Hot wire
of the wall box.
b. Connect the White wire of the mFi Outlet to the Neutral
wire of the wall box.
c. Connect the Green wire of the mFi Outlet to the Ground
wire of the wall box.

5. Bend and form the wires to fit into the wall box. Ensure the
wires are properly positioned to allow adequate room for
the mFi Outlet.
6. Place the mFi Outlet inside the wall box and ensure the
yoke is mounted flush with the wall for proper fitting of the
Wall Plate. Secure the mFi Outlet with the two screws.
Note: Do not over-tighten or rely on the force of
the screws to pull the mFi Outlet into the wall
box. If the wall box does not have enough room
to accommodate the mFi Outlet and the wiring,
replace the wall box with a deeper or wider box.

7. Mount the Wall Plate by aligning the mounting clips with
the Wall Plate Mounting Slots on the mFi Outlet. Press the
Wall Plate into position until the mounting clips snap into
place. If you are using your own wall plate, secure it with
two screws.
8. Turn on power at the circuit breaker or fuse panel.

Configuring the mFi Outlet via Wi-Fi

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions.
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Operations of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B)
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful
communication.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.
CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B)
Pour réduire le risque d’interférence aux autres utilisateurs, le type
d’antenne et son gain doivent être choisies de façon que la puissance
isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne dépasse pas ce qui est nécessaire
pour une communication réussie.
Cet appareil est conforme à la norme RSS Industrie Canada exempts de
licence norme(s). Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions
suivantes:
1. Cet appareil ne peut pas provoquer d’interférences et
2. Cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence, y compris les
interférences qui peuvent causer un mauvais fonctionnement du
dispositif.

RF Exposure Warning
The transceiver described here emits radio frequency energy. Although the
power level is low, the concentrated energy from a directional antenna may
pose a health hazard. Do not allow people to come closer than 20 cm to the
antenna when the transmitter is operating.
Additional information on RF exposure is available on the Internet at
www.fcc.gov/oet/info/documents/bulletins
L’émetteur-récepteur décrit ici émet de l’énergie de fréquence radio.
Bien que le niveau de puissance est faible, l’énergie concentrée à partir
d’une antenne directionnelle peut présenter un danger pour la santé. Ne
pas permettre aux gens de se rapprocher de 20 cm à l’antenne lorsque
l’émetteur est en marche.
