Preventing static electricity discharge
The components inside your AP are extremely sensitive to static electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge
(ESD).
Care during use
■ Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.
■ Do not spill anything on the access point. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and drinking near your
access point.
■ Some products have a replaceable CMOS battery on the system board. There is a danger of explosion if the
CMOS battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery with the same or equivalent type recommended by
the manufacturer. Dispose of batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
■ When an AP is turned off, a small amount of electrical current still flows through it. To avoid electrical shock,
always unplug all cables from the device (power, modem and network cables are some examples), before
cleaning the access point.
■ Unplug the access point from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel if:
■ The power cord or plug is damaged.
■ Liquid has been spilled into the access point
■ The access point does not operate correctly when the operating instructions are followed.
■ The access point was dropped or the case is damaged.
■ The access point operation changes.
Warning To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object
into the vent holes of the power supply.
Caution ESD can permanently damage electrostatic discharge-sensitive
components in your AP.
Important Do not use Gateway products in areas classified as
hazardous locations. Such areas include patient care
areas of medical and dental facilities, oxygen-laden
environments, or industrial facilities.
