Ifyourpowerlineadaptershavedifficultycommunicatingwitheachother,trythe
followingprocedures:

• Trypowercyclingtheunitbyunpluggingitfromtheelectricoutletfor10secondsand
pluggingitinagain.
• Holdthe“Group/Reset”buttondownfor10~15secondsoneachunit
youaretryingto
connect.Theunitswillresetandattempttoestablishaconnectionusing factorydefault
settings.
• Trypluggingthepowerlineadapterinto anadjacentelectricoutlet.
• ThispowerlineadaptershouldnotbeusedonGFIprotectedelectricoutlets,assome
outletswillfilteroutthe
powerlinesignal.
• Thispowerlineadaptershouldnotbeusedinareaswithexcessiveheat.
• Certainflorescentorincandesce ntlightsarenoisesourcesthatcandegrade
performance.
• Ifyourbuildinghasmorethanonecircuitbreakerbox,yourpowerlineadaptersmaynot
beabletoestablishaconnectionacross
differentcircuitbreakerboxes.Insuchcases,try
establishingaconnectionacrossdifferentcircuitbreakerboxesbylinkingtwopowerline 
adapterstogetherwithanEthernetcable.
