Safety Precautions
1. Read these safety instructions carefully. !
2. Keep this user’s manual for later reference. !
3. Disconnect this equipment from any power source before cleaning. Use a damp cloth.
Do not use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning. !
4. For plug-in equipment, the power outlet socket must be located near the equipment and
must be easily accessible. !
5. Keep this equipment away from humidity. !
6. Put this equipment on a stable surface during installation. Dropping it or letting it fall
may cause damage. !
7. Do not leave this equipment in either an unconditioned environment or in an above
40ºC storage temperature as this may damage the equipment. !
8. The openings on the enclosure are for air convection to protect the equipment from
overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS. !
9. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the equipment
to the power outlet. !
10. Place the power cord in a way so that people will not step on it. Do not place anything
on top of the power cord. Use a power cord that has been approved for use with the
product and that it matches the voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical
range label. The voltage and current rating of the cord must be greater than the volt-
age and current rating marked on the product. !
11. All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted.
12. If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the power source to avoid
damage by transient overvoltage.
13. Never pour any liquid into an opening. This may cause fire or electrical shock.
14. Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, the equipment should be opened only
by qualified service personnel.
15. If one of the following situations arise, get the equipment checked by service personnel:
a. The power cord or plug is damaged.
b. Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
c. The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
d. The equipment does not work well, or you cannot get it to work according to the

user’s manual.
e. The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
f. The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
16. Do not place heavy objects on the equipment.
17. The unit uses a three-wire ground cable which is equipped with a third pin to ground the
unit and prevent electric shock. Do not defeat the purpose of this pin. If your outlet does
not support this kind of plug, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
18. CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY RE- PLACED.
REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE REC- OMMENDED BY
THE MANUFACTURER. DISCARD USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
19. CAUTION: Hot surface Do not touch

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 or more of the following measures:
n Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
n Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
n Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
n Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Shielded interconnect cables and shielded power cable must be employed with this
equipment to insure compliance with the pertinent RF emission limits governing this device.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the system’s manufacturer could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device is operable in 5.15 – 5.25GHz frequency range, then restricted in
indoor use only, Outdoor operations in the 5.15 – 5.25GHz is prohibitive.

RF exposure warning
This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided instructions and
the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of
at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter. End-users and installers must be provide with antenna
installation instructions and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure
compliance.
