a surge protector may adversely aect the performance of this product.
• Avoid using the PowerLine AV Mini Adapters in an electrical outlet that is located near an appliance that uses a lot of power such as a washer,
dryer, refrigerator, microwave, hair dryer, or air conditioning system.
• To verify connectivity or if you are having connection problems, plug the adapters in the same room to verify whether your home’s electrical
wiring is contributing to the issue. The adapters’ PowerLine LED indicators will illuminate if the connection is established.

Understanding PowerLine AV Network Security
The PowerLine AV Network Starter Kit on the same network must use an identical encryption key. The default encryption key of each PowerLine AV
Network Starter Kit is HomePlug AV. All PowerLine AV Network Starter Kits with default encryption key can communicate with each other.
It’s recommended to create a private encryption key for network security purpose. The private encryption key allows you to protect your network
from unauthorized access via the PowerLine network. To create a private encryption key instead of the default encryption key, please follow below
steps:
1. All Adapters
Plug in all the adapters to be congured and make sure each device’s encryption key is set to HomePlug AV (default
value). If the encryption key is not set to the default value, press the Reset button for 1 second or use the PowerLine AV
Utility on your CD for resetting it to the default value.
2. First Adapter
Press the Simple Connect Button of the rst adapter for no more than 2 seconds. The Power LED will start blinking after
you release the button. The adapter will create a private, randomly generated encryption key that each PowerLine AV
adapter will use.
3. Second Adapter
Within 2 minutes of pushing the Simple Connect Button of the rst adapter, press Simple Connect Button of second adapter
in your PowerLine network for no more than 2 seconds. The Power LED will start blinking after you release the button.
Note: Both Simple Connect Buttons must be pressed within 2 minutes.
4. PowerLine Network
After above network security setup steps, your PowerLine network will be securely congured with the same network encryption key. The adapters
will memorize the security settings even if they are unplugged.
Note: To change the private encryption key, please reset the adapter back to its default value by pressing the Reset button for 1 second and then
follow the security setup procedure above.
