Powerline Installation Considerations

Plan the location of your Powerline devices:
1. Connect Powerline devices to electrical outlets that are not controlled by a wall
switch to avoid accidentally turning off power to the device.
2. Do not connect the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter to an extension cord, surge
protector, or power strip as this might prevent it from working correctly, or
reduce the network performance.
3. Avoid using the Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter in an electrical outlet that is
located near an appliance that uses a lot of power, such as a washer or dryer,
or a refrigerator. This may prevent the adapter from working correctly, or
negatively impact network performance.
4. Verify that your Powerline devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.
5. To help prevent against electrical shock, be sure to plug the power cables into properly grounded electrical
outlets.
6. The Powerline device is equipped with a three-pronged plug to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter
plugs or remove the grounding prong from the cable.
