Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
To avoid the possibility of exceeding radio frequency exposure limits, you shall beep a distance of at
least 100cm between you and the antenna of the installed equipment. This transmitter must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country
dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destination. The
firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
This chapter describes safety precautions and product information you have to know and check before
installing LEVELONE 150MBPS WIRELESS POE AP.
Preparation before Installation
Professional Installation Required
Please seek assistance from a professional installer who is well trained in the RF installation and
knowledgeable in the local regulations.
Safety Precautions
1. To keep you safe and install the hardware properly, please read and follow these safety
precautions.
2. If you are installing LEVELONE 150MBPS WIRELESS POE AP for the first time, for your safety
as well as others’, please seek assistance from a professional installer who has received safety
training on the hazards involved.
3. Keep safety as well as performance in mind when selecting your installation site, especially
where there are electric power and phone lines.
4. When installing LEVELONE 150MBPS WIRELESS POE AP, please note the following things:
♦ Do not use a metal ladder;
♦ Do not work on a wet or windy day;

5. When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of it. Strong RF fields are present
when the transmitter is on.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Page 5
Installation Precautions
To keep the LEVELONE 150MBPS WIRELESS POE AP well while you are installing it, please read
and follow these installation precautions.
1. Users MUST use a proper and well-installed surge arrestor with the LEVELONE 150MBPS
WIRELESS POE AP; otherwise, a random lightening could easily cause fatal damage to
LEVELONE 150MBPS WIRELESS POE AP. EMD (Lightning) DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED
UNDER WARRNTY.
2. Users MUST use the “Power cord & PoE Injector” shipped in the box with the LEVELONE
150MBPS WIRELESS POE AP. Use of other options will cause damage to the LEVELONE
150MBPS WIRELESS POE AP.
3. Users MUST power off the LEVELONE 150MBPS WIRELESS POE AP first before connecting
the external antenna to it. Do not switch from built-in antenna to the external antenna from WEB
management without physically attaching the external antenna onto the LEVELONE 150MBPS
WIRELESS POE AP; otherwise, damage might be caused to the LEVELONE 150MBPS
WIRELESS POE AP itself.
