Splitting a Port [CC2] If the control board does not have an available ComfortBridge port: 1. Select an occupied ComfortBridge port. 2. Disconnect the existing cable from the port. 3. Insert the splitter into the vacated port. 4. Connect the existing cable and Link cable to the port splitter. Troubleshooting Unsuccessful ComfortBridge Communication: If the Power LED is off and the System LED blinks slowly, initial ComfortBridge communication was unsuccessful.

1. Try excluding the device from the network (see Removing the Link from the network) and re-adding it to the network. 2. If Step 1 does not resolve the issue, we recommend installing a network repeater nearby and performing a network rediscovery. TIP: Any wall powered device on the network will act as a network repeater and improve the range between the hub or controller and the device you are installing.

IC Notice Under Industry Canada Regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
