Using your AirPort Extreme Safely

ÂÂ The only way to shut off power completely to your AirPort Extreme is to disconnect it from the power source.

ÂÂ When connecting or disconnecting your AirPort Extreme, always hold the plug by its sides. Keep fingers away from the metal part of the plug.

ÂÂ Your AirPort Extreme should not be opened for any reason, even when it is unplugged. If your AirPort Extreme needs service, see “Learning More, Service, and Support” on page 33.

ÂÂ Never force a connector into the ports. If the connector and port do not join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.
