Attention

Plug powerline devices into wall outlets instead of power strips.

Set Up a Secure Powerline Network by Pairing (Recommended)

You can create or join a secure powerline network using the Pair button on two devices at a time.
Tip: We recommend that you plug in the powerline devices near each other when pairing.

To create a secure powerline network:

1. Press the Pair button on one of the powerline devices for 1 second. Its Power LED starts blinking.
   Note: If the Power LED does not blink, press the Pair button again.

2. Within 2 minutes, press the Pair button on another device for 1 second. Its Power LED starts blinking.

3. When the Powerline LED turns on, it’s done.

To join an existing secure powerline network:

1. Press the Pair button on any of the existing powerline devices for 1 second. Its Power LED starts blinking1
   Note: If the Power LED does not blink, press the Pair button again.

2. Within 2 minutes, press the Pair button on the new powerline adapter for 1 second. Its Power LED starts blinking.

3. When the Powerline LED turns on, it’s done.
