Unplug Power Before Cleaning - Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

Keep Objects Out of Openings - Never push objects of any kind into the PCX5000 through openings such as the ventilation holes, as they may touch high voltage circuits and "short-out" parts, which could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid on the PCX5000.

Protect From Lightning – Unplug the PCX5000 during a lightning storm, or when leaving it unattended and unused for a long period.

Security Precautions

The PCX5000 provides your home network with the highest level of security. However, no product can provide you with absolute protection against a determined effort to break into your system. We recommend using additional security precautions, such as encrypting files and folders to protect highly valuable or sensitive information.

If you are using the wireless access capability of the PCX5000 and the wireless security options (encryption and access control) are disabled, an unauthorized user can penetrate your computers with a remote wireless device. See the section “PCX5000 Wireless Configuration” in this manual to set the appropriate wireless security parameters.

Range of Wireless Communication

The range of the wireless signal may vary according to the actual radio conditions at the location where the wireless LAN product is installed. The range of wireless devices may be affected by metal surfaces and high-density materials such as concrete walls. Range is also impacted due to “obstacles” in the signal path of the radio that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal.
