The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own
expense.
Modifying the equipment without Asoka’s written authorization may result in the equipment no
longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A digital devices. In that event, your right to
use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any
interference or radio or television communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the
interference stops, it was probably caused by the Asoka equipment or one of its peripheral
devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the
interference by using one or more of the following measures:
Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio.
(That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio is on circuits controlled by
difference circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Asoka could void the FCC approval and negate
your authority to operate the product.

Chapter 4
Installation
This chapter describes how to install your CPE device and how to interpret the LEDs to ensure
proper operation. Read the topics, and perform the procedures in the following order:
Preparing for Installation
Warnings
Installing the CPE
Connecting to a 10/100 Port
Wall mounting the CPE
Preparing for Installation
If you mount the CPE to a power outlet, use the screws supplied with the
CPE.
There are no serviceable parts inside the unit. Removing the screws,
cover, or otherwise dismantling the unit voids the warranty.
Warnings
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this equipment.
Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.
Before working on the equipment that is connected to power lines, remove all jewelry
(including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to
power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.
The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as the main
disconnecting device.
To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the
maximum recommended ambient temperature of 104ºF (40ªC).
This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection.
Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A
International) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
A voltage mismatch can cause equipment damage and may pose a fire hazard. If the
voltage indicated on the label is different from the power outlet voltage, do not connect the
device to that receptacle.
Page 11 of 39
Asoka® User Guide
PlugLink™ 9760 HD AV Adapter PL9760-ETH
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning
activity.
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and
regulations.
