Setting up the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl

The Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl can be set up in any suitable location in your home or office. You do not need any special wiring. However, you should comply with the following guidelines:

uOperate the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl only indoors within a temperature range of +5 to +40 °C. Do not position the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl near sources of heat. Do not cover the ventilation slots. High temperatures can damage the device.

uA mains socket for 220/240V~ and a connection socket for the splitter or LAN must be available where you set up the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl.

uDo not position the device in the immediate vicinity of stereo equipment, TV sets or microwave ovens. This may cause interference.

uPosition the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl so that it is as near to the centre of your wire- less network as possible. Make sure that where you position the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl provides optimum reception throughout the house or office. You can improve the reception quality by aligning the antenna (turn and/or tilt).

uPosition the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl on a non-slip surface. The router feet do not normally leave any traces on the surface they are on. However, some furniture sur- faces may contain substances that attack and soften the router's rubber feet. The feet may well mark the furniture surface in this case.
