location near a window or outside wall.

Leave adequate space (approximately 2”/5 cm) on all sides for proper air flow.

Locate the unit near an AC power outlet that provides 100V to 240V.

Avoid metal objects such as furniture, file cabinets or metal film anti-glare
windows within 5 feet/1.5m of the modem.

Position the unit at least 5 feet/1.5m away from any wireless device, such as
WiFi enabled laptop or computer, WiFi router, wireless mouse or keyboard, or
any cordless phone equipment. Other wireless devices may also cause
interference, such as baby monitors, security systems, Bluetooth devices, etc.
2.2.2 Installing the Unit
The BreezeMAX Si 4000 is a plug-and-play device, so once it has been connected
to your PC and powered up, it is fully operable.

Place the unit on a flat horizontal surface indoors. For the standing device, use
the rotating base to stabilize the device. For the Premium unit, open up both
antennas to upright position.

unit. Connect the other end of the power cord to the AC outlet. The unit will
