This document is written to be used with the BL-PA300KTA, which is a pre-configured set
of 2 adaptors.
No settings are required to use these adaptors. Simply follow the instructions provided in
this document. Refer to the included Operating Instructions for safety, reconfiguration,
and troubleshooting information.
For best results
Avoid connecting high power-consuming appliances to the same wall outlet. Additionally,
connecting an adaptor to a uninterruptable power supply (UPS) or backup power supply
device is not recommended.
While connecting the adaptors to a wall outlet is recommended, keep the following in mind
if you must connect an adaptor to a power strip:
- Make sure the power strip does not a have a noise filter or a surge protector, as these
features may interfere with the performance of your adaptors.
- Do not connect the adaptor to a power strip that receives power from another power
strip.
- Use a power strip with an AC cord that is as short as possible.
For more information, refer to the included Operating Instructions.
For Best Performance
■ We recommend plugging the adaptor directly into a wall outlet whenever possible.
■ AC adaptors and battery chargers (such as cell phone chargers) may interfere with
the performance of this product. We recommend connecting such devices to a power
strip which has a noise filter.
■ You can test the speed of each terminal's network connection. Refer to the included
Operating Instructions for details.
Additional
adaptors can
be added
later, for a total
of 16 adaptors
including the

the Operating
Instructions for
