Safety Information WARNING Opening the unit, for whatever reason, could lead

to damage that is not covered by the warranty. Do not touch the device or accessories during

thunderstorms. Electrical shock could result. This device is made for use in the USA and

Canada only. For indoor use only. Do not use this equipment on hospital premises.

Doing so may cause medical devices to malfunction.

If using the equipment near a pacemaker, make sure it is at least 9 inches (22 cm) away from the pacemaker.

While using the Access Point, do not cover it or turn it on its side. Do not cover the Access Point with objects such as magazines or newspapers or use it in confined, enclosed places, such as the spaces between walls and furniture. Further, do not turn the Access Point on its side while using it. Either situation could cause heat to build up inside the Access Point, leading to overheating and possible fire.

Carefully place the Ethernet cable, AC adapter, and other wiring. Personal injury or damage to the Access Point could result from people tripping over the Ethernet cable, AC adapter, or power cord. Protect wiring by locating it in places where people do not walk.

Do not swing the AC adapter. Injury could result if the adapter strikes a person or fragile material, such as glass.

Precautions

AC adapter Use only the supplied AC adapter. Other AC adapters may damage in the Access Point.

Safety Do not drop the Access Point. Careful handling will help prevent damage.

Installation Do not place the Access Point where it will be exposed to the following conditions: Unstable surfaces. High humidity or poor ventilation. Excessive dust. Direct sunlight or extreme heat. Closed cars. Magnetic fields (near magnets, speakers, or

televisions). Next to microwave ovens. Frequent vibration. Locations where the transmission of radio

waves may be obstructed by metal plates or concrete walls.

Operation Exposure to rapid changes in temperature or very damp environments may cause moisture to condense on internal parts. This may prevent the Access Point from operating properly. If this should happen, unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet and let the Access Point sit for two to three hours or until the moisture evaporates.

Cleaning Clean the casing with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzene. This may damage the finish of the casing.
