This product should ONLY be installed by an experienced installer
who is familliar with local building and safety codes and wherever
applicable, is licensed by the appropriate authorities. Failure to do so
may void the D-Link product warranty, and may expose the end user
or the service provider to legal and financial liabilities. D-Link and its
resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage, or violation of

A safety grounding system is necessary to protect your outdoor installation
from lightning strikes and the build-up of static electricity. Direct grounding
of the antenna mast, Outdoor AP, and Surge Arrester is very important.
When mounting the Outdoor AP on the antenna mast, you have to connect
the Outdoor AP to the same grounding system with the AC wall outlet.The
grounding system must comply with the National Electrical Code and safety
standards that apply in your country. Always check with a qualified electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether your outdoor installation is properly grounded.
