Connecting to AC Power

If your router uses AC power, connect it to a 15A, 120VAC (10A, 240VAC) circuit with overcurrent
protection.
Note The input voltage tolerance limits for AC power are 85 and 264 VAC.
Note This product requires surge protection to be provided as part of the building installation. To comply with
the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, an external surge
protective device (SPD) is required at the AC power service equipment.
Warning
AC connected units must have a permanent ground connection in addition to the power cable ground
wire. NEBS-compliant grounding satisfies this requirement.
