Before You Begin

This product should ONLY be installed by an experienced installer who is familiar
with local building and safety codes and, where applicable, is licensed by the
appropriate authorities. Failure to employ an experienced installer may render
the D-Link product warranty void and may also expose the end user or the service
provider to legal and financial liabilities. D-Link and its resellers or distributors
expressly disclaim any and all liabilities for injury, damage, or violation of
regulations due to the improper installation of outdoor units or antennas.
A safety grounding system is necessary to protect your outdoor installation from
lightning strikes and the build-up of static electricity. Direct grounding of an
outdoor AP is very important and can protect your networks from brutal outdoor
environments and devastating ESD attacks. The grounding system must comply
with the National Electrical Code and safety standards that apply in your country
and/or region. Always check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether your outdoor installation is properly grounded.
To keep you safe and to install the hardware properly, please read and follow these
safety precautions:
1. Keep safety as well as performance in mind when selecting your installation site,
especially when there are electric power and phone lines.
2. When installing your access point, note the following:
• Do not use a metal ladder.
• Do not work on a wet or windy day.
• Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long sleeved
shirt or jacket.
3. When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna.
Strong RF fields are present when the transmitter is on.
4. A safety grounding system is necessary to protect your outdoor installation
from lightning strikes and the build-up of static electricity. When mounting
the product on an antenna mast, you must connect the product to the same
grounding system as the AC wall outlet. The grounding system must comply
with the National Electrical Code and safety standards that apply in your country.
5. Always check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether your
outdoor installation is properly grounded.
