This switch is designed for indoor use and to be connected to other indoor devices only. If you
want to connect it to a device located outdoors, the outdoor device must be properly grounded
and surge protected, and you must install an Ethernet surge protector inline between the switch
and the outdoor device. Failure to do so can damage the switch.
Before connecting this switch to outdoor cables or devices, see

for safety and warning information.
