Important information to read before installation
Warning:
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED
Prior to installing or using this device, consult with a professional installer trained in RF
installation and knowledgeable in local regulations including building and wiring codes,
safety, channel, power, indoor/outdoor restrictions, and license requirements for the
intended country. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that installation and
use comply with local safety and radio regulations.
Cabling
: You must use the appropriate cables, and where applicable, surge protection, for
your given region. For compliance with EN55022 Class-B emissions requirements, use
shielded Ethernet cables.
Country of use
: Some versions of the unit require the installer to select the country of
operation during set up. Once the country has been set, the unit will automatically limit the
available wireless channels, ensuring compliant operation in the selected country. Incorrectly
entering the country may result in illegal operation and may cause harmful interference to
other systems.
Safety:
Take note of the following safety information during installation:
•
If your network covers an area served by more than one power distribution system, be
sure all safety grounds are securely interconnected.
•
Network cables may occasionally be subject to hazardous transient voltages (caused by
lightning or disturbances in the electrical power grid).
•
Handle exposed metal components of the network with caution.
•
This product does not have a power switch. It is powered-on when it is plugged into a
power source.
•
This product and all interconnected equipment must be installed indoors within the
same building (except for outdoor models), including all PoE-powered network
connections as described by Environment A of the IEEE 802.3af standard.
