Introduction

B-3

802.11a/b/g antennas for MSM APs

Antennas included with MSM310, MSM310-R, MSM320, and MSM320-R

Caution

When using antennas outdoors, a lightning arrestor is required for lightning protection.

Consider placing the lightning arrestor immediately before the antenna cable enters the

building. HP offers a lightning arrestor as an accessory, HP product number J8996A.

All HP devices are designed to be compliant with the rules and regulations in locations they

are sold and will be labeled as required. Any changes or modifications to HP equipment, not

expressly approved by HP, could void the user's authority to operate this device. Use only

antennas approved for use with this device. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or

attachments could cause damage and may violate local radio regulations in your region.
