Safety Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to ensure safe operation of the router:
Do not touch or move the antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
Do not hold any component containing a radio such that the antenna is very close to or

Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected;
otherwise, the radio may be damaged.
Use in specific environments:
— Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive
environment unless it is a type especially qualified for such use.
— The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited to the constraints posed by
the safety directors of such environments.
— The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA).
— The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each
