4Positioning and Installing Your Router

1.POSITIONING AND INSTALLING YOUR ROUTER

Safety Information WARNING: Please read the ‘Important Safety Information’ section in the Support and Safety Information sheet before you start.

VORSICHT: Bitte lesen Sie den Abschnitt „Wichtige Sicherheitsinformationen” sorgfältig durch, bevor Sie das Gerät in Betrieb nehmen.

AVERTISSEMENT: Lisez attentivement le paragraphe “Remarques relatives à la sécurité” avant de mettre votre routeur sous tension.

When positioning your Router, ensure that:

•The Router is centrally located to the wireless computers that will connect to it. A suitable location might be on top of a high shelf or similar furni- ture to optimize wireless connections to computers in both horizontal and vertical directions, allowing coverage throughout.

•It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.

•Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers.

•To meet FCC radiation exposure regulations, the Router should be located in a position that maintains a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) from any personnel (refer to the User Guide for details).

•Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.

•Air flow around the unit and through the vents on the side of the case is not restricted. 3Com recommends that you provide a minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance.

Using the Rubber Feet Use the four self-adhesive rubber feet to prevent your Router from moving around on your desk or when stacking with other flat top units. Only stick the feet to the marked areas at each corner of the underside of your Router.
