The following safety precautions may not cover all possible dangers.
2.1.1
General Safety Precautions
Do not expose the AP to high temperature, dusts, or harmful gases.
Do not install the AP in an inflammable or explosive environment.
Keep the AP away from EMI sources such as large radar stations, radio stations, and substations.
Do not subject the AP to unstable voltage, vibration, and noises.
The installation site should be free from water flooding, seepage, dripping, or condensation. The installation
site should be selected according to network planning and communications equipment features, and
considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electrical power, and transportation.
Keep the AP at least 500 meters away from the ocean and do not face it towards the sea breeze.
Do not place the device in walking areas.
During the installation and maintenance, do not wear loose clothes, ornaments, or any other things that may

Electric Safety
Warning
●
Improper or incorrect electric operations may cause a fire, electric shock, and other accidents, and lead to
severe and fatal personal injury and device damage.

Direct or indirect contact with high voltage or mains power supply via wet objects may cause fatal
dangers.
Observe local regulations and specifications during electric operations. Only personnel with relevant
qualifications can perform such operations.
Check whether there are potential risks in the work area. For example, check whether the power supply is
grounded, whether the grounding is reliable, and whether the ground is wet.
