Recommendations
•For best results, use in a regular wall outlet without any other product plugged into the same outlet. Connecting this product to a power strip or a surge protector may adversely affect the performance of this product.
•Avoid using the PowerLine AV 500 adapters and switch in an electrical outlet that is located near an appliance that uses a lot of power, such as a washer or dryer, refrigerator, microwave, hair dryer, or air conditioning unit.
•To verify connectivity or if you are having connection problems, plug the adapter and the switch in the same room to verify whether your home’s electrical wiring is contributing to the issue. The adapter and switch’s PowerLine LED indicators will illuminate if the connection is established.
