Unit)
Multiple Home Control Smart Metering Plugs cannot be plugged into one another.
To ensure the best possible wireless range for the Home Control Smart Metering Plug, avoid po-
sitioning it behind objects that block the signal (attenuation) and avoid interference
sources. Weak signals due to attenuation can result from furniture, plants and especially metal
objects which are located between the devices. Possible sources of interference include electrical
devices such as a microwave or computer. In such instances, keep your device at least around 50
cm away from the source. The device is designed for indoor use only.
Select a wall outlet while taking the above factors into consideration, but at first lay the
Home Control Smart Metering Plug only near this outlet.
