CAUTION

- Create the power cable correctly as specified. Using the power cable with the
housing pins assigned wrong numbers may re sult in device faults or ac cidents.

- The input voltage range of this product is from 5 to 24 VDC ±5%. Supply
power outside that range may resul t in device faults or acc idents.

- Use the power supply whose supply voltage rises to at least 4.75VDC within th
input voltage range within 10ms. Using a power supply which does not satisfy
this condition may result in device faults or accidents.

- Input voltage ra nge: 5 to 30 VDC ± 5%. Use a power sup ply that rises to 4.7 5
VDC or higher in the input voltage range within 10 ms. There is a risk of
damage to the device or accident if a power supply outside this range is used.

Installatio

Read and understand the following precautions before installation :

- Leaving a metal object in the vicinity of 30mm from the antenna board affects the antenna characteristics.
Do not place metal objects near the antenna as possible.

- This product has a protrusion of up to 14mm o n the front surface an d a protrusion of up to 3mm o n the rear surface. Allow
clearance around this product and use it within the range of ambient temperatures satisfying the environment conditions for
installation.

- Figure 2 shows the l ocations the mounti ng holes for install ing this product a nd external dimens ions.

- Use M2 screws for the mounting holes (2.3 mm).

- The lower right mounting hole is the FGND (grounding) hole. Connect it to FGND (ground).

The settings become enabled when the product is restarted
after all the setup procedure is completed and the settings
are stored. Click “Save & Reboot” (4) on the left-hand
menu.
There will be no problem if you just save the settings now but reboot the product later when necessary. In this case, saving
the settings does not actually change the settings of the product. Therefore, make sure to reboot the product later

CAUTION

It takes a pproximately 5 - 10 sec onds to save settings (wr iting to internal flash memory). During that period, the LEDs for POWER,

LAN and WLAN at the front part of the main unit blink simultaneously. Do not reboot or turn off the product until the screen
indicates the completion of the saving process. The setup file data and firmware data may be damaged and the product may not
operate properly if it is reboote d or switched off during the saving process.

Precaution on use

It is prohibited to modify the insid e of this product. The pr oduct cannot be used in any country other than those authoriz ed for use.

Security Precautions

Wireless LAN uses radio waves instea d of LAN cables to send and rece ive data between a comput er and a wireless access point,
making it possible to freely estab lish a LAN connection w ithin a range of the radio wav es. However, radio waves ca n be received
through obstacles, such as walls, when within the range. Therefore, if security settings are not made, the following problems may occur.
Unauthorized viewing of data An unauthorized third party can intercept the radio waves and view e-mail messages and personal
information, such as user ID and password or your credit card information. Unauthorized access An unauthorized third party can access
a personal or corporate network a nd cause the followi ng damage:

- Intercepting personal information and confidential information (information leak)

- Using a false identity to communicate and disclose information illegally (identity theft)

- Changing and transmitting intercepted data (tampering)

- Damaging data and system s by spreading a computer vir us (destructi on)
The wireless LAN card and wireless acces s point have security fe atures to counter t hese problems. Using t he security settings of t he
wireless LAN equipment can help prevent these problems from occurring. The security settings of the wireless LAN equipment are not
configured at the time of purchase.
To reduce security problems, co nfigure all securi ty settings of the wire less LAN equipme nt according to the ma nual before using the
wireless LAN card and wireless access point. Please be aware that the security settings do not provide complete security protection due
to wireless LAN specifications. If you are unable to configure the security settings yourself, please contact your local authorized dealer.

The customer is responsible for configuring the security settings and understanding the risks inherent in using the product without the
security settings configured.

Notes on Radio Interface

The 2.4 GHz band used by this product covers the operating frequ encies of mobile-ide ntification lo cal radio stations (re quiring the
license), specific low-power radio stati ons (requiring no lice nse) and amateur wirel ess stations (requiring the license) as well as industrial,
scientific, and medical equi pment such as micr owave ovens.

1. Before using this product, make sure that there is no mobile-identification local radio station, specific low-power radio station and
amateur wireless station opera ting near the produc t.

2. If the product should cause radio interface with any mobile-identification local radio station or specific low-power radio station,
immediately change the oper ating frequen cy to avoid the radio i nterface.

3. Placing wireless terminals near each other may slow down their data rate because of their mutual interference. You should allow a
minimum clearance of about 1m betwee n stations, 3m betwee n access point and stati on, and 3m between acces s points.

4. Contact your local retailer or CONTEC if the product has trouble such as recurrent radio interface with mobile-identification local
radio stations or specific low-po wer radio stations

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 pro- vide reasonable p rotection against harmful interfere nce when the equipm ent is operate din a
commercial environment. Thi s equipment gene rates, uses, and can radi ate radiofreque ncy energy and, if not i nstalled and used in
accordance with the instruction m anual, may cause harm ful interferen ce to radio communica tions. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifica tions not expres sly approved by the par ty responsible for compliance could voi d the user's
