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.
