Introduction

Electrical environment information

HD-PLCadaptors communicate with each other using the existing electrical wiring in your home, and may be affected by electrical noise or the length of your home’s wiring. Keep the following in mind when placing each adaptor.

AC outlets

For best results, we recommend connecting the adaptors directly to a wall outlet. 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 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.

Electrical interference

Certain electrical devices emit electrical noise. If this noise is passed on to the electrical wiring in your home, it may interfere with the performance, speed, and reliability of your adaptors. For best results, we recommend connecting an electrical noise filter to noise emitting appliances.

The following appliances are more likely to produce noise:

Battery chargers (including cell phone chargers)

AC adaptors (including AC adaptors for modems, routers, notebook computers, etc.)

Hair dryers

Vacuum cleaners

Lights or lamps which have a dimmer switch or a touch-sensitive on/off feature

Power drills

Additionally, this product may interfere with the following appliances:

Short wave radios

Lights or lamps which have a touch-sensitive on/off feature

Wireless devices (including wireless mice, etc.)
