For best results
Avoid connecting high power-consuming appliances to the same wall outlet. Additionally,
connecting an adaptor to a uninterruptable power supply (UPS) or backup power supply
device is not recommended.
While connecting the adaptors to a wall outlet is recommended, keep the following in mind
if you must connect an adaptor to a power strip:
- Make sure the power strip does not a have a noise filter or a surge protector, as these
features may interfere with the performance of your adaptors.
- Do not connect the adaptor to a power strip that receives power from another power
strip.
- Use a power strip with an AC cord that is as short as possible.
For more information, refer to the included Operating Instructions.
For Best Performance
■
We recommend plugging the adaptor directly into a wall outlet whenever possible.
■
AC adaptors and battery chargers (such as cell phone chargers) may interfere with
the performance of this product. We recommend connecting such devices to a power
strip which has a noise filter.
■
You can test the speed of each terminal’s network connection. Refer to the included
Operating Instructions for details.
