• Do not touch the device or accessories during

thunderstorms. Electrical shock could result.

• This device is made for use in the USA and

Canada only.

• For indoor use only.

• Do not use this equipment on hospital premises.

Doing so may cause medical devices to

malfunction.

• If using the equipment near a pacemaker, make

sure it is at least 9 inches (22 cm) away from the

with objects such as magazines or newspapers or

use it in confined, enclosed places, such as the

spaces between walls and furniture. Further, do

not turn the Access Point on its side while using

it. Either situation could cause heat to build up

inside the Access Point, leading to overheating

and possible fire.

• Carefully place the Ethernet cable, AC adapter,

and other wiring. Personal injury or damage to

the Access Point could result from people

tripping over the Ethernet cable, AC adapter, or

power cord. Protect wiring by locating it in

places where people do not walk.
