complete and the adapters are communicating with each other (indicated by the blinking
Powerline LED). Pressing this button too soon can temporarily disable Powerline communication. If
this should occur, use the Factory Reset button to return the Powerline adapter to its factory
default settings.
Warning: To reduce the torque on the AC outlet caused by the weight of the XAV1501, only a right-
angled power cord can be plugged into the filtered AC socket of the XAV1501 GR(German) and
FR(French), and the power cord cannot be bent.

The Security/Power button serves a dual function:
• Set the Power Mode: The Powerline Adapter's normal state is POWER ON.
When you first plug it into an electrical outlet, it will be in POWER ON mode. To
go to POWER OFF (power saving mode), push and hold the button for 5 – 10
seconds. Pressing the button again for less than 2 seconds returns it to POWER
ON. You can also unplug and plug in the adapter to restore it to POWER ON.
• Set Security: Press and hold the button for 2 – 4 seconds. If you are setting up
two XAV1501 devices, push the button on each device for 2 – 4 seconds within 2
minutes. The two devices will connect automatically and the Power LED will
start blinking.
The filtered AC socket can remove some electrical noise which may affect power-
line performance. Plugging the power plugs of nearby devices into the filtered
AC socket may improve performance.

– NA: 14A 125V~
•
Only power cords are allowed to be inserted into the filtered AC outlet; no other
equipment with a direct plug-in is allowed. Power cord needs to be a maximum of
1m long and a minimum of 0.75mm square of cross-sectional area.
•
Do not plug devices into the XAV1501 filtered AC outlet that exceed the product
ratings.The output voltage of the filtered AC outlet is the same as the power outlet
which the XAV1501 is plugged into. To help avoid damaging your system, be sure
that the attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available
in your location.
•
If the input AC voltage is less than 125Vac, the device plugged into the filtered AC
socket of the XAV1501 may not perform as well as expected.
•
DO NOT PLUG MAJOR HOME APPLIANCES into the filtered AC socket or into an
attached powerstrip. The device is not intended to be used with home appliances
such as air conditioners, powertools, space heaters, fans, hair dryers, ovens, or
refrigerators.
•
Check the electrical current for any appliance used with the device, and do not
exceed home and product outlet ratings and electrical requirements.
