Introduction
Electrical environment information
HD-PLC
 adaptors 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.)
