Do not install the device close to heat sources or in rooms with temperature below 5°C or above 40°C.
Do not use the device in places with high humidity.
Do not expose the device to smoke, dust, water, mechanical vibrations, or shock.
Do not open the device case. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
2.2 Installation recommendations
Before you install and enable device, check the device for visible mechanical defects. If defects are
observed, you should stop the device installation, draw up corresponding act and contact the supplier.
If the device has been exposed for a long time at a low temperature, it must be left to stand for two
hours at room temperature before use. After a long stay of the device in conditions of high humidity, let
it stand under normal conditions for at least 12 hours before switching on.
The device should be installed horizontally in compliance with safety instructions.
During the device installation to provide Wi-Fi coverage area with the best characteristics take into
account the following rules:
Install the device in the area where the wireless network of the router is securely received;
Minimize the number of obstacles (walls, roof, furniture and etc.) between RR-10, router and other
wireless network devices;
Do not install the device near (about 2 m) electrical and radio devices;
It is not recommended to use radiophone and other equipment operating on the frequency of 2.4
GHz, 5 GHz in Wi-Fi effective radius;
Obstacles in the form of glass/metal constructions, brick/concrete walls, water cans and mirrors
can significantly reduce Wi-Fi action radius.
In order to avoid components overheating and device malfunctioning, do not place objects on the
device.
