The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies of different
electrostatic potentials, such as an operator and a piece of electrical equipment. It occurs when electronic
components are improperly handled, and it can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
Electrostatic discharge is more likely to occur in the presence of synthetic fibers and dry atmosphere.
Always use the following ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components:
Preventing Damage to the Router
Step 1Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap that you provide, ensuring that it makes good skin contact.
CautionTo properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively.
Always follow the warnings and guidelines in this section.
Step 2Do not touch any exposed contact pins or connector shells of interface ports that do not have a cable
attached.
If cables are connected at one end only, do not touch the exposed pins at the unconnected end of the
cable. This device is intended for use in residential and commercial environments only.
CautionPeriodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and
10 megohms (Mohm).
Preventing Damage to the Router
Follow these guidelines when connecting devices to your router:
•Connect the color-coded cables supplied by Cisco Systems to the color-coded ports on the front
panel.
OL-12892--01
•If you must supply your own cable, see the cabling specifications in Appendix A, “Specifications.”
If this appendix does not provide specifications for a particular cable, we strongly recommend that
you order the cable from Cisco
Systems.

structure.
•Mount the router with the front panel facing upward. Make sure to mount the router low enough so
that you can see the LEDs.
•Make sure that the power supply rests on a horizontal surface such as the floor or a table. If the power
supply is not supported, the strain on the power adapter cable could cause it to disconnect from the
router.
•Do not install the router or its power supply next to a heat source of any kind, including heating
vents.
You can mount the router on a hollow wall or a wall stud. To mount the router, follow these steps:
Step 1If you have a wireless router, connect the radio antenna to the router (see the “Connecting a Radio
Antenna to a Wireless Router” section on page 3-1).
Step 2Position the router on the wall to determine where to attach the two mounting screws. Make sure the
distance between the screws is 8.25 in. (see
Step 3Mount the router on a wall stud or a hollow wall. Perform one of the following, as appropriate:
•To mount the router on a wall stud, attach two #10 wood screws (round or pan-head) with #10
Figure 3-1 on page 3-2).
washers, or two #10 washer-head screws to the wall. Make sure that the screws are long enough to
penetrate at least 3/4 in. (20 mm) into the supporting wood or into a metal wall stud.
•To mount the router on a hollow wall, attach two wall anchors with washers to the wall. Make sure
that the wall is at least 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) thick and that the wall anchors and washers are a size
suitable for the wall to which they are attached.
Step 4Insert the wood screws or wall anchors (whichever you used) into the mounting-screw holes on the
router. Mount the router vertically, with the front panel facing upward and the connection to the power
cord facing downward.
