Important safety information
Your Gateway access point is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information
technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that the safety instructions
marked on the product and in the documentation are followed.
Setting up your access point
■
Read and follow all instructions marked on the product and in the documentation before you operate your
access point. Retain all safety and operating instructions for future use.
■
Do not use this product near water or a heat source such as a radiator.
■
Install the access point on a stable work surface in an open area away from people.
■
The product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating label.
■
If your access point has a voltage selector switch, make sure that the switch is in the correct position for your
geographic area. The power supply should be set at the factory to the correct voltage, but check to avoid
possible damage.
■
Openings in the case are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover these openings. Make sure you provide
adequate space, at least 6 inches (15 cm), around the AP for ventilation when you set it up. Never insert objects
of any kind into the ventilation openings.
■
Some products are equipped with a three-wire power cord to make sure that the product is correctly grounded
when in use. The plug on this cord will fit only into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an electrician to install the appropriate outlet.
■
If you use an extension cord with this access point, make sure that the total ampere rating on the products
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
Warning Always follow these instructions to help
guard against personal injury and damage
to your Gateway access point.
Warning High voltages can enter your AP through both the power
cord and the cable connections going outside the building.
Protect your equipment by using a surge protector. During
an electrical storm, unplug the surge protector and any
cables going outside the building.
Important A qualified electrician must perform all mains connections
to power and to safety grounds. All electrical wiring must
comply with applicable local or national codes and
practices.
Warning Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the
equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground
conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable
grounding is available.
