Installing the Switch
Step 6 Mark the locations on the wall for the mounting screws. Make sure that the holes are the proper distance
apart, depending on the switch orientation.
Note If you are mounting the switch on a wooden wall (not drywall), you can screw the tapping screws
directly into the wall.
Step 7 Drill four 0.25-inch (6-mm) holes that are at least 1 inch (25 mm) deep.
Step 8 Insert the plastic drywall anchors into the holes.
Step 9 Insert a tapping screw into each anchor, and leave 0.06 inches (1.5 mm) of the screw head exposed.
Step 10 Place the bracket slots over the tapping screws, and slide the bracket down until the screws fit snugly
into the slots.

EMC Class A Notices and Warnings
EMC Class A Notices and Warnings
Statement 2017—Class A Notice for FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case users will be
required to correct the interference at their own expense.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco's authorization may result in the equipment no longer
complying with FCC requirements for Class A digital devices. In that event, your right to use the
equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to
radio or television communications at your own expense.
Caution The Part 15 radio device operates on a non-interference basis with other devices operating at this
frequency. Any changes or modification to said product not expressly approved by Cisco, including the
use of non-Cisco antennas, could void the user’s authority to operate this device.
Declaration of Conformity for RF Exposure
This section contains information on compliance with guidelines related to RF exposure.
This Device Meets International Guidelines for Exposure to Radio Waves
The Cisco Edge 300 series device includes a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by
international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organization
(ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
As such the systems are designed to be operated as to avoid contact with the antennas by the end user. It
is recommended to set the system in a location where the antennas can remain at least a minimum
distance as specified from the user in accordance to the regulatory guidelines that are designed to reduce
the overall exposure of the user or operator.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need
for any special precautions for the use of wireless devices. They recommend that if you are interested in
further reducing your exposure then you can easily do so by reorienting antennas away from the user or
placing the antennas at a greater separation distance then recommended.
