Safety precautions

Safety precautions

uThe device is only allowed for operation in enclosed rooms (temperature range: 0 to 40°C). Do not use the device in a damp or wet environment, with dust or vapours.

uThe device may affect medical equipment.

uMake sure you include the operating instructions and the CD-ROM when you pass on your device to somebody else.

Notes on secure operation

The Gigaset USB Adapter 300 supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). This means that if your access point also supports WPS, you can set up all security settings automatically and connect with your access point very simply (see page 21).

If you are not using WPS, you should make some security settings on the wireless network as soon as you have installed the Gigaset USB Adapter 300 on your PC:

uChange the SSID for all wireless devices in your network (see "SSID (Service Set Identifier)" on page 28).

uEncrypt the communication over your wireless network (see "Configuration – Secu- rity" on page 31).

Your contribution to the environment (ECO)

We at Gigaset Communications GmbH make our products as environmentally compatible as possible. Our goal is a sustainable process that makes it easier for us to comply with the strict stipulations of the ISO standard 14001 for international environmental management.

Further advantages for the ecology

uThanks to a switched-mode power supply, all our routers and repeaters use up to 60% less power and so offer higher energy efficiency.

uYou can reduce the WLAN's transmitting power for all routers and repeaters and some WLAN clients – depending on the device in question and your PC's operating system.

uYou can turn off the WLAN completely.
