Warning

This equipment needs to be grounded. Use a green and yellow 14 AWG ground wire to connect the host to earth

ground during normal use. Statement 190

To connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground, using a ring terminal and size 14 AWG (2 mm2) wire, follow these steps:

Step1 Strip one end of the ground wire to expose approximately 3/4 inch (20 mm) of conductor.

Step2 Crimp the 14 AWG green ground wire to a UL Listed/CSA certified ring terminal, using a crimping tool that is

recommendedby the ring terminal manufacturer. The ring terminal provided on the back panel of the router is suitable

for a No. 6 grounding screw.

Step3 Attachthe ring terminal to the chassis as shown in Figure 3. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver and the screw supplied

with the ring terminal. Tighten the screw to a torque of 8 to 10 inch-pounds (0.9 to 1.1 newton meters.)

Step4 Connectthe other end of the ground wire to a known good electrical grounding point such as a service panel grounding lug.

Consult a licensed electrician if you have any questions about the suitability of the ground connection.
