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 devices to an extension cord, surge protector, or power strip as
this might prevent it from working correctly, or negatively impact network performance.
3. Avoid using the Powerline devices 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 designed to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or
remove the grounding prong from the device.
