Important: Because the PowerLine USB Adapter sends data over the pow-
erlines of your house, it is best to plug it directly into an electrical outlet. Do
not plug the device into a UPS or power strip with surge protection. The
PowerLine USB Adapter has its own power filter for protection against
surges.
