Quick Start

Safety Information

To use the device properly and safely, read the safety precautions carefully before using the device and strictly observe these precautions when using the device.

Safety precautions:

humidity 30%–85% RH for at most 9 months. If the ambient temperature or relative humidity is overhigh or overlow, the device may be faulty.
Used only indoors. Do not lead metallic cables, such as network cables and
telephone lines outdoors.
Do not look directly into the optical port without eye protection. Keep the device out of the reach of children as the components or accessories
may b e swallowed.
Install the device in strict compliance with the requirements of the supplier.
Reserve a space of at least 10 cm above and around the device for heat dissipation. During the installation, keep the device away from electric appliances that generate strong magnetic or electric fields, such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, and mobile phones.
The described input voltage range should comply with the local power grid. For
example, the input voltage of the adapter is 200–240 V AC for European Union; the input voltage of the adapter is 100–140 V AC for America.
If the power adapter is damaged and its internal circuit is exposed due to
manmade factors, do not touch the exposed circuit, which may bring safety risks.
Only power adapters delivered with the device can be used. Otherwise, the device
may be abnormal or unsecure.
Dry your hands before connecting or disconnecting cables. Stop the device and
switch off the power before connecting or disconnecting cables.
Do not place any object on the device, so that the device will not be damaged due
to overheating or deformation.
Prevent objects, such as metal, from entering the device through the heat
dissipation hole.
Switch off the power and disconnect all cables, i ncluding the power cable, optical
fiber, and network cable, during periods of lightning activities. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the power adapter and shall be easily accessible. Before use the power adapter, please check no damage on the adapter.
Do not lead the strength member of the optical fiber or other metal parts indoors.
Do not install telephone lines, network cables, power adapters or power adapter cables outdoors. Adopting these measures will help prevent device damage and bodily injuries which are especially prone during thunderstorms.
If an abnormality occurs, for example, liquid entering the device, smoke, unusual
sound, and smell, stop the device immediately, switch off the power, disconnect all cables (such as the power cable, optical cable, and network cable) to the device, and contact the authorized service center.
1
NOTE
Do not disassemble the device without permission. In the case of a device fault,
contact the authorized service center.
Dispose of the packing materials, expired batteries, and old or abandoned devices
in accordance to local laws and regulations (recycling them is strongl y recommended).
Do not change the structure, safety design, or performance design of the device
without prior authorization.
The device should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm
between the radiator and your body.

Fireproof precautions:

Keep the device away from large heat source equipment, bare flames, and
high-power devices, such as electric heaters, candles, and blow drier, to eliminate safety risks.
If there are aged cabl es or power socket facilities on the power supply line to or
near the device, replace them in time to eliminate safety risks. The power supply voltage of the device must meet the input voltage requirement.

CAUTION

Installing the GPON Terminal

1. Do not install GPON terminals outdoors or on the outdoor cabinets.
2. GPON terminals can be mounted onto a wall or be placed on a workbench. Do not install GPON terminals in other modes, such as the ceiling.
3. The terminal cannot be connected to other devices such as GPON terminals, switch and router.
Mounting a GPON terminal on the desk
The figure below shows a GPON terminal that is horizontally placed on a desk.
Mounting a GPON terminal onto the wall
Step 1 Mark the positions of two holes used for mounting a GPON terminal,
ensure that the two holes have the same spacing as the two mounting holes.
Step 2 Select a proper drill according to the outer diameter of the screws. Use a
hammer drill to drill the marked positions on the wall. Then clean the wall and install two expansion bolts.
Step 3 Use a screwdriver to fasten the screws into the expansion bolts, leaving
the heads of the screws 3 mm over the wall. Then install the GPON terminal to the screws.

HG8121H supporting Wi-Fi, a wireless network coverage is subject to the number, thickness, and positions of walls, material, ceilings, or other objects that radio signals traverse. Besides, material type and background radio frequency (RF) noise also affect the coverage of a wireless network. You can maximize the coverage of a wireless network using the following methods:
1.
Decrease the number of walls and ceilings between HG8121H and other
network devices.
Each wall or ceiling reduces the coverage of a wireless network by 1 to 30 meters. Install HG8121H at a proper place to avoid walls or ceilings whenever possible.
2.
Observe the straight line rule when installing network devices.
The distance for which signals have to traverse at a 45° corner of two 0.5 meter-thick walls reaches approximately 1 meter. Therefore, place devices at places where signals can directly traverse walls or ceilings.
3.
Note the impact of building materials on the wireless network coverage.
A metal door or aluminum wall may limit the coverage of a wireless network. Install access points, wireless routers, and computers, so signals can traverse walls or open passageways. Materials and objects such as FRP products, metal products, insulative walls, filing cabinets, bricks, and concrete weaken radio signals.
4.
When connecting HG8121H to a wireless network, keep it far from the following devices:
than 2 meters between such a device andHG8121H.)
2.4 GHz wireless mobile phones and X-10 devices (such as microwave ovens, home security systems, blue-tooth devices, and refrigerators) greatly weaken or even eliminate wireless signals. Even when a 2.4 GHz wireless mobile phone is not connected to a wireless network, the phone base still sends signals that interfere the

Do not use the HG8121H in public scenarios, such as cafe and store, because it is designed for only residential applications.

You are advised to connect a maximum of 10 terminals through Wi-Fi for user experience.

service provider for help.
The phone does not ring upon an incoming call but communication is in normal state when the phone is in off-hook state.
The GPON terminal provides a maximum of 60 V AC ringing current voltage.
Check whether the ringing current voltage of the phone is higher than 60 V AC. If it is higher than 60 V AC, replace it with another phone.
How to reset the GPON terminal?
Press Reset by using a needle-t ype object.
