network, and—if not using PoE—connect the power cord to a power source.
Height Correction
If you accidentally pull too much wire rope through the locking device, raising the AP340 too high, and you then
need to lower it, do the following: Take a tool, such as a screw driver with a 1/8" flat tip, and press it against the
lip of the inner tube in the opposite direction from the arrow on the outside of the locking device (see
Figure 18 ). This releases its grip on the rope, allowing you to pull the rope out the same way it was inserted.
While maintaining pressure on the tube, adjust the rope until the AP340 is at the height you want. When you are
satisfied, stop pressing against the tube so that it can regain its grip on the rope.
