How to Open the Top Cover
The top cover provides access to the cable and power connections.
Caution Do not open the access point top cover as you would a hatch or door. You could damage the cover by doing so. An instruction label is attached to the access point. Take time to read the label before you open the access point cover.
When you have familiarized yourself with the opening procedure, we recommend that you remove the label, putting it in a safe place, such as inside the cover of this guide.
Note Status LED indications are not visible when the top cover is open.
Follow these steps to open the top cover:
1.Put the access point on a flat surface, and grasp it with both hands, as shown in this illustration.

Safety Information
The FCC, with its action in ET Docket 96-8, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with approved Cisco Aironet antennas, Cisco Aironet products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio device according to the instructions in this document and the installation and configuration guide will result in user exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
•Do not hold any component containing a radio such that the antenna is very close to or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
•The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited to the constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.
Warnings
Warning This product must be connected to a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) IEEE 802.3af compliant power source or an IEC60950 compliant limited power source.
