Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your STRONG Powerline Kit, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the adapters with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Ventilation: Ensure the adapters are plugged into outlets that allow for proper airflow around the device. Do not cover the ventilation slots.
- Direct Outlet Connection: For best performance, plug the Powerline adapters directly into a wall outlet. Avoid using power strips, extension cords, or surge protectors, as these can interfere with Powerline signal quality.
