Precautions
AC adapter
Use ony the supplied AC adapter. Other AC
adapters may cause a failure 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.
• Magnetized locations (near magnets, speakers,
or televisions).
• Locations exposed to frequent vibration.
• Locations where the transmission of radio
waves may be obstructed by metal plates or
concrete walls
Operation
Exposure to cold-to-hot temperature extremes 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

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.
