Important Note about INSTEON Networks; Split Single-Phase vs. 3-Phase
Installation
For the best INSTEON network performance, be sure you have properly installed at least two dual-band
INSTEON devices. INSTEON has only been officially tested in a split single-phase residential
environment but has been known to work in many 3-phase systems, where three dual-band devices are
used (one on each phase). However, due to the potential complexity of its troubleshooting, the INSTEON
Gold Support Line is unable to support INSTEON in 3-phase environments.
Further Enhancing Reliability
As signals travel via the power line or RF throughout the home, they naturally become weaker the farther
they travel. The best way to overcome weakened signals is to increase the coverage of the mesh network
by introducing more INSTEON devices.
It is possible that some audio-video devices, computers, power strips, or other electrical equipment may
attenuate INSTEON signals on the power line. You can temporarily unplug suspected devices to test
whether the INSTEON signal improves. If it does, then you can plug in filters that will permanently fix the
problem.

subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Le present appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts
de licence. L'exploitation est autorise aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique subi, mme si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
The digital circuitry of this device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio and television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause such interference, which can be verified
by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to eliminate the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
•
Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna of the device experiencing the interference
•
Increase the distance between this device and the receiver
•
Connect the device to an AC outlet on a circuit different from the one that supplies power to the
receiver
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
WARNING: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
