To avoid radio interference, make sure that obstacles (metallic objects, etc.)
are not placed around this unit.
Wipe off the dirt on the surface of this unit with soft cloth damped with a bit of
solution of neutral cleanser thinned with clean water. Never use solvent such
as alcohol, thinner, benzene, toluene, acetone, etc., or plastic parts (housing,
etc.) may melt, deform, whiten, etc.
NOTE
Communication range of this unit subject to surrounding condition including existence
of obstacles. Wireless LAN of IEEE802.11b/g specification employed in this unit
uses 2.4 GHz ISM (Industry Science Medical) band which is shared by various kinds
of ISM equipment including microwave ovens, high-frequency medical equipment,
etc. For this reason, communication by this unit may be interfered from them.
Also, communication by this unit may be interfered from adjacent electric/electronic
equipment which emit radio wave or generate magnetic field, office equipment, and
home electric appliances like TV.

I
SECURITY ON USING WIRELESS LAN
Wireless LAN uses radio signal (rather than wired one) for communication between
equipment like PC and a wireless access point. This is great advantage in that you
may LAN-connect to any station so long as you are within the wireless communication
range. Because radio signal can sometimes reach outside beyond obstacles (wall,)
this may cause the following problems unless security settings are done properly:
Outsider may spy your communication
Outsider may intentionally receive radio signal emitted from your equipment to spy
invaluable information including various ID’s, passwords, personal information like
credit-card numbers, e-mails, etc.
Outsider may invade/hack into your personal or company’s network to:
 Steal personal or secret information. (Leakage of Information)
 Impersonate someone else to communicate with another, and distribute harmful
information. (Impersonation)
 Falsify intercepted information and distribute it. (Falsification)
 Destroy data/system by distributing computer virus, etc. (Destruction)
Generally security system is built in wireless LAN equipment or wireless access point,
and proper setting of the security system minimizes the possibility of these problems.
Wireless LAN equipment is sometimes shipped without setting the built-in security
system. For this reason it is vitally important to complete security settings on
wireless LAN equipment before start using its LAN capability.
Due to the nature of wireless LAN, security may be broken by unpredictable special
manner. Always bear this in mind when using wireless LAN equipment. If you have
any question/problem in security settings, do not hesitate to call the vendor of the
wireless LAN equipment.
Always do security settings after you have understood everything completely. Again,
the entire risks are always assumed by you.

5. INSTALLATION: Notes on radio wave path
5-1 Radio wave attenuation by wall, metallic net, etc.
Radio wave is heavily attenuated by wall, metallic net, etc. If heavy attenuation is
anticipated, checking by measuring instrument is required.
5-2 Interference from ISM devices
IEEE802.11b/g-compatible wireless LAN device like this unit uses 2.4 GHz ISM
(Industry Science Medical) band. The 2.4 GHz ISM band is widely used by
microwave ovens, high-frequency medical equipment, etc.
If such ISM devices are installed nearby, you have to check mutual interference
beforehand by using measuring instrument. For a microwave oven, check
communication quality while heating water in a heat-proof bowl.
5-3 Mounting Location
Tabletop, overhead or wall mount is available. Decide mounting location, taking
the following points into consideration:
- Measure or guess radio wave coverage of your access point. For measurement,
consult with the vendor of this unit.
For guess, use the following guideline:
ENVIRONMENT
(INDOOR)
COVERAGE
(DIAMETER)
Open Shorter than 100 m
(No obstacle on line of sight)
Semi-open Shorter than 50 m
(Medium between “Open” and “Closed” environment)
Closed Shorter than 20 m
(Enclosed in compartment which reaches ceiling)
- Select a high location around the center of the intended communication area.
- Strong vibration or mechanical shock is not anticipated.
- Ambient temperature is not high but not extremely low, and humidity is low.
- Splash or rain drop is not anticipated.
- Avoid corrosive or exhaust gas environment.
- Select a place accessible for mounting and maintenance.
- Avoid the places where interference is anticipated. Make sure that there is no
metallic obstacle around this unit.

Depending on obstacles, communication area becomes extremely small. A
typical example is shown below.
In this example obstacles are as high as the ceiling. In this case, radio wave can
hardly reach the terminal.
