installing WNAP-7205.

3.1 Preparation before Installation

3.1.1 Professional Installation Required

Please seek assistance from a professional installer who is well trained in the RF installation and

knowledgeable in the local regulations.

3.1.2 Safety Precautions

1. To keep you safe and install the hardware properly, please read and follow these safety precautions.

2. If you are installing WNAP-7205 for the first time, for your safety as well as others’, please seek assistance from a professional installer who has received safety training on the hazards involved.

3. Keep safety as well as performance in mind when selecting your installation site, especially where there are electric power and phone lines.

4. When installing WNAP-7205, please note the following things:

 Do not use a metal ladder;  Do not work on a wet or windy day;  Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket.

5. When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of it. Strong RF fields are present when the transmitter is on.

3.1.3 Installation Precautions

To keep the WNAP-7205 well while you are installing it, please read and follow these installation precautions.

1. Users MUST use a proper and well-installed surge arrestor with the WNAP-7205; otherwise, a random lightening could easily cause fatal damage to WNAP-7205. EMD (Lightning)

DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRNTY.

2. Users MUST use the “Power cord & PoE Injector” shipped in the box with the WNAP-7205. Use of other options will cause damage to the WNAP-7205.

3. Users MUST power off the WNAP-7205 first before connecting the external antenna to it. Do not switch from built-in antenna to the external antenna from WEB management without physically attaching the external antenna onto the WNAP-7205; otherwise, damage might be caused to the WNAP-7205 itself.
