442 July 15,04_web.qxd 7/15/2004 10:59 AM Page 2 Congratulations! Thanks for purchasing and installing the AccessLinc™ for InsteonTM products. This simple, plug-in device is designed to bridge Insteon signals between the AC powerline and wireless devices. By plugging in a single AccessLinc, Insteon signals can be easily bridged (or converted) between wireless radio frequencies (RF) and powerline signals.

2442 July 15,04_web.qxd 7/15/2004 10:59 AM Page 6 Tips for Using AccessLinc • Do not plug AccessLinc into a power strip or AC line filter. • Some computers, audio-video products, and their accessories can absorb Power Line Carrier (PLC) signals off the power lines. If the AccessLinc is electrically near these devices, they should be filtered. Use Smarthome’s FilterLinc #1626 on this equipment to keep the Insteon powerline signals from getting absorbed.
