Hardware Installation and Quick Start
3.1 Selecting a Position for the HG256s
Place the HG256s in a stable and well-ventilated place and do not expose it to direct
sunlight, as described in chapter 1 "Warnings and Precaution." If you want to use the
WLAN function of the HG256s, you also need to pay attention to the following
precautions for a better performance of the WLAN:
Place the HG256s in an open space and ensure that no obstacle, such as a cement or
wooden wall, exists between your PC and the HG256s. Otherwise, the transmission
of radio signals on the WLAN is affected.
Ensure that the HG256s and your PC are far from the electric appliances (such as a
microwave oven) that generate strong magnetic or electric fields.
