IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SERVICE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Damages caused by non-compliance with this operating manual will void the warranty!
1. Read and Follow Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before
the product is operated. Follow all operating instructions.
2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future
reference.
3. Heed Warnings - Comply with all warnings on the product and in the operating instructions.
4. Power Sources - This product should be operated only from the type of power source

5. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in the risk of
re or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged
or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or re
hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated
insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.
6. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
7. Surge Protectors - It is highly recommended that the video equipment be connected to a
surge protector. Doing so will protect the equipment from damage caused by power surges.
Surge protectors should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certication mark.
8. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) - Because this product is designed for continuous,
24/7 operation, it is recommended that you connect the product to an uninterruptible power
supply. An uninterruptible power supply has an internal battery that will keep the product
running in the event of a power outage. Uninterruptible power supplies should bear the UL
listing mark or CSA certication mark.
CAUTION: Maintain electrical safety. Power line operated equipment or accessories connected to
this product should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certication mark on the accessory itself and
should not be modied so as to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential hazard
from electrical shock or re. If in doubt, contact qualied service personnel.
9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable
operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the video equipment
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over
a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such
as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and the product manufacturer’s
instructions have been followed.

This ALC Wi-Fi Extender can be used in a number of ways with ALC devices:
• It extends the range of your Wi-Fi router to areas of your home or office where the signal is
weak. You can connect your ALC SightHD cameras to it to allow better positioning of them
to cover areas you may not have been able to before. You can even connect your phones,
tablets and laptops.
• It will allow you to add a wired Ethernet connection in locations that do not have one. After
setting up the Extender, you can then plug in an ALC Connect Hub or ALC Observer Monitor
using the Ethernet cable that came with it. This will allow you to place your Hub or Monitor in
a more convenient location that is more accessible to you.
