2 Preparing for Installation
2.1 Safety Precautions
Note
To avoid personal injury and device damage, carefully read the safety precautions before you install the
access point.
The following safety precautions may not cover all possible hazardous situations.
General Safety Precautions
Do not expose the access point to high temperature, dusts, or harmful gases. Do not install the AP in an
inflammable or explosive environment. Keep the AP away from EMI sources such as large radar stations,
radio stations, and substations. Do not subject the AP to unstable voltage, vibration, and noise.
Keep the access point at least 500 (0.31 miles) meters away from the ocean and do not face it towards the
sea breeze.
The installation site should be free from water flooding, seepage, dripping, or condensation. The installation
site should be selected according to network planning and communications equipment features, and
considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electrical power, and transportation.
Please make sure that the access point and power distribution system are properly grounded.
Caution
Please follow the procedures in the user manual to install and remove the access point.
Handling Safety
Do not move the access point frequently.
Cut off all the power supplies and unplug all power cords before moving or handling the access point.
Electric Safety
Warning
Improper or incorrect electric operations may cause a fire, electric shock, and other accidents, and lead
to severe and fatal personal injury and device damage.
Direct or indirect contact with high voltage or mains power supply via wet objects may cause fatal
dangers.
Observe local regulations and specifications during electric operations. Only personnel with relevant
qualifications can perform such operations.
Check whether there are potential risks in the work area. For example, check whether the power supply is
grounded, whether the grounding is reliable, and whether the ground is wet.
Learn about the position of the indoor emergency power switch before installation. Cut off the power switch
