1)Do not use this product near water, for example, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

2)Avoid using this product during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

2.4Connect to Ground

Connecting the router to ground is to quickly release the lightning over-voltage and over-current of the router, which is also a necessary measure to protect the body from electric shock.

In different environments, the Router may be grounded differently. The following will instruct you to connect the Router to the Ground in two ways, connecting to the Grounding Bar or connecting to the Ground via the power cord. Please connect the router to ground in the optimum way according to your specific operation environment.

•Connecting to the Grounding Bar

If the Router is installed in the Equipment Room, where a professional Grounding Bar is available, you are recommended to connect the Router to the Grounding Bar by the ground cable as shown in the following figure.
