Remark concerning the positioning:

The connection quality depends strongly on the place or surroundings where you put up the WLAN
device. Please ensure that the device or its antennae are neither covered nor built in. Use the enclosed
USB extension cable for this purpose. We advise you against putting it up near metallic objects or
other electric or radiant devices. In case of reception fl uctuations or connection interruptions we
recommend you to move interference sources such as DECT telephones, mobile phones, Bluetooth
devices or other WLAN networks out of the way. If this is not possible, it may also be helpful to change
the cable.
