Installation Considerations
Plan the location of your Smart Plug devices:
1. Connect Smart Plug devices into electrical outlets that are not controlled by a wall switch. This will help you to avoid
accidentally turning o power to the device.
2. Verify that your Smart Plug devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.
3. Be sure to plug the power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets in order to help prevent against electrical
shock.
Safety
Please read all of the safety and operating instructions before using your device:
1. Do not open the device or attempt to repair or service it.
2. Use the device in a dry location, and avoid placing it in a humid environment.
3. Do not submerge the device in liquid or attempt to clean it with liquids or solvents. To clean the device, disconnect from
the power outlet and use a damp towel.
4. Keep the device out of direct sunlight.
5. Do not cover or block the vents on the device.
6. Make sure that the device has adequate room for ventilation.
7. Avoid placing the device near a heater or a radiator.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The Smart Plug lets you access your network using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep
in mind the number and thickness of walls and ceilings, as well as the location of other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may
limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The
key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the Smart Plug and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your
adapter’s range by 3-90 feet (1-30 meters). Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Strive for a direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick, at a 45-degree angle, will appear to be almost three feet thick. At a
two-degree angle it appears to be over 42 feet thick! Position your devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling, instead
of at an angle, for the best reception.
3. Be aware of the type of building materials separating your devices. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on range.
Try to position the Smart Plug and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass,
steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least three to six feet) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems, your wireless connection
may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base
transmits a signal even when the phone is not in use.
