DANGER! Electric shock caused by
electricity
Device must be plugged into a power
socket with a connected earth wire
devolo devices may be operated only on a mains
power supply as described on the rating plate.
To disconnect devolo devices from the mains supply, unplug the device from the electrical socket.
The power socket and all connected network devices should be easily accessible so that you can pull
the power plug quickly if needed.
CAUTION! Heat development during operation
Certain housing components can become
very hot in certain situations. Attach device
so that it is touch-proof, observing optimal
positioning
devolo devices should only be installed at locations
that guarantee adequate ventilation. Slots and
openings on the housing are used for ventilation:
b Do not cover devolo devices during operation.
b Do not place any objects on devolo devices.
b Do not insert any objects into the openings of
devolo devices.
b devolo devices must not be placed directly
next to a naked flame (such as fire or candles).
b devolo devices must not be exposed to direct
heat radiation (e.g. radiator, direct sunlight).

Be ready for the technology of the future today
devolo Magic embodies the new generation of the
tried-and-tested Powerline technology (PLC) based on the cutting-edge G.hn architecture. G.hn
was developed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) with ongoing development provided primarily by the HomeGrid Forum industry
association. devolo Magic products are certified
according to HomeGrid standards and are compatible with other HomeGrid-certified products.
Like the HomePlug AV technology used in established devolo dLAN devices, devolo Magic uses the
household mains supply for data transmission and
secures ideal performance and stability in locations
where network cables are not viable or desired
and/or the Wi-Fi frequently falls short due to ceilings and walls.
To set up a devolo Magic network, you need at
least two devolo Magic devices. For technical
reasons, devices from the devolo Magic series
are not compatible with dLAN devices.
2.2 Introduction to the devolo Magic adapter:
Unpack – plug in – get started and be ready for
the new generation of tried-and-tested Powerline
technology:
b Speed and stability – thanks to consistent data
transmission speed at up to 1200 Mbps over
distances of up to 400 meters, the
devolo Magic 1 LAN
ment at the highest level.
b Security – with 128-bit AES Powerline encryp-
tion
b Energy-efficiency – the integrated PowerSave
mode cuts energy consumption automatically
during low data traffic.
b A devolo Magic 1 LAN
