P r o f e s s i o n a l
Only the ProCurve Networking antennas listed in this guide are permitted to
I n s t a l l a t i o n
be connected to the Access Point 420. You must use the appropriate antennas,
R e q u i r e d
cables, and where applicable, surge arrestors, for your given region. You are
responsible for verifying local regulations or legislation that may impose
restrictions on the use of specific antenna and cable combinations. For this
reason, ProCurve Networking recommends that you consult with a profes-
sional installer who is trained in RF installation and knowledgeable in the local
regulations prior to connecting an external antenna to your wireless radio
product. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that the antenna
installation complies with the local radio regulations.
