 ===========
 
 I2C slave backends behave like standard I2C clients. So, you can instantiate
-them as described in the document 'instantiating-devices'. A quick example for
-instantiating the slave-eeprom driver from userspace at address 0x64 on bus 1:
+them as described in the document 'instantiating-devices'. The only difference
+is that i2c slave backends have their own address space. So, you have to add
+0x1000 to the address you would originally request. An example for
+instantiating the slave-eeprom driver from userspace at the 7 bit address 0x64
+on bus 1:
 
-  # echo slave-24c02 0x64 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
+  # echo slave-24c02 0x1064 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
 
 Each backend should come with separate documentation to describe its specific
 behaviour and setup.
