This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. 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 or more of the following
measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

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

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.

FCC Caution

This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided
instructions, and a minimum of 20 cm of space (approx. 8 inches) must be
provided between any computer-mounted antenna and a person’s body
(excluding hands, wrists and feet) during wireless modes of operation.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference;
and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the authority to operate the equipment.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure

Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the
FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not
be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.

Chapter II: System and Network Setup

2-1 Installing the access point to your Network

Follow these instructions to build the network connection between
your new wireless access point and your computer’s network
devices:

1. Connect the access point to the router or switch/hub in your
network through the LAN port of the access point using Ethernet
cable.

2. Connect the A/C power adapter to the wall socket, then connect
it to the Power jack of the access point.

3. Check all LEDs on the front panel. The PWR LED should be
steadily on; the LAN LED should be on if the access point is
correctly connected to the ADSL modem, router or switch/hub. If
the PWR LED is not on, or if any LED you expect to be on isn’t,
recheck the cabling or refer to 4-2 Troubleshooting for possible
causes and solutions.
