Possible BoosterLinc Interference with INSTEON
If you have installed older Smarthome Plug-In BoosterLinc™ X10 Signal Boosters or certain other
BoosterLinc-enabled products, the older BoosterLinc technology may interfere with INSTEON
communications.
Plug-In BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters, Smarthome #4827, shipped after February 1, 2005, with V3.0
or later firmware, are fully compatible with INSTEON.
The following Plug-In BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters use older firmware that may cause interference
with INSTEON:
• White BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters, #4827, shipped before February 1, 2005, with V2.5 or earlier
firmware
• All Gray BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters, #4827
To troubleshoot Insteon/BoosterLinc issues, try unplugging the older BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters to
see if this helps with INSTEON interference. If it does, please call 800-SMARTHOME (800-762-7846) for
help with replacing your older BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters with newer INSTEON-compatible ones.

How INSTEON May Affect X10
If your existing X10 devices seem to be working less reliably after installing INSTEON devices, remember
that INSTEON devices can absorb X10 signals just as X10 devices do, and that INSTEON devices do not
repeat X10 signals. Installing INSTEON-compatible BoosterLinc X10 Signal Boosters, Smarthome
#4827, or a SignaLinc Plug-In Coupler-Repeater, #4826, can increase X10 signal levels.
Please call 800-SMARTHOME (800-762-7846) if you have any questions or would like more help.
