When positioning your Router, ensure:
It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.
Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures,
and sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and
broadband amplifiers.
Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of
the case is not restricted. We recommend you provide a
minimum of 25mm (1in.) clearance.

Using the Rubber Feet

Use the four self-adhesive rubber feet to prevent your Router
from moving around on your desk or when stacking with flat top
OfficeConnect units. Only stick the feet to the marked areas at
each corner of the underside of your Routerl.

Using the Stacking Clip

The stacking clip allows you to stack your OfficeConnect units
together neatly and securely.
CAUTION: You can stack up to a maximum of four units. Smaller
units must be stacked above larger units.
To fit the clip:
Place your unit on a flat surface.
