until installation is complete and the adapters are communicating with each
other (indicated by the blinking Power LED). Pressing this button too soon
can temporarily disable PowerLINE communication. If this occurs, use the

8. Wait for the PowerLINE network to recognize each PowerLINE device.
This process could take as little as 5 seconds or up to 80 seconds.
When the Power LEDs stop blinking, the process is complete. If the Pick A Plug LEDs are green or
amber, the devices are successfully connected to the PowerLINE network. A red Pick A Plug LED
indicates a slow link rate. In this case, move the PowerLINE device to another electrical outlet with a
faster connection.
9. If you are installing additional adapters, repeat Step 7 with one of the secure adapters and one of the
adapters that is not yet secured.
