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.

(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.
