To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Do not let this unit get wet. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit. If any liquid or solid object fall through the unit,
do not operate the unit. It may result in electric shock or damage to the unit.

FCC WARNING

You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to
operate this equipment.

This class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

About Wireless Security

Since communication via the wireless LAN function is established by radio waves, the wireless signal may be susceptible
to interception. To decrease this danger, the LocationFree Base Station supports various security functions. Be sure to
correctly configure the security settings in accordance with your intended purpose and network environment. For details,
refer to the Operating Instructions document.

WARNING

If the following safety precautions are not observed and the product is used incorrectly, it may result in serious injury
or death from a fire or an electric shock.

Installation

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.

• Place the apparatus on a stable surface. If placed on an unstable or inclined surface, the apparatus may fall, causing
personal injury.

• Place the LocationFree Base Station at least 10 cm away from the wall.

• Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

• Keep this apparatus out of children’s reach.

• Do not place the apparatus in a place where medical equipment is in use. It may cause a malfunction of medical
instruments.

• Do not install this apparatus in a vehicle. The motion of the vehicle may cause the apparatus to fall down and cause
injury.

• Do not install this apparatus on a ship or other vessel. If the apparatus is exposed to seawater, it may cause a fire or
damage the apparatus.

• Do not use power-line operated sets near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

• Never place the apparatus in hot, oily, humid or excessively dusty places.

• Do not install this apparatus outdoors. It the apparatus is exposed to rain, it may result in a fire or an electrical shock.

• If this apparatus is exposed to direct sunlight, the apparatus may heat up and it may damage the apparatus.

• Do not connect to the power cord before all connections are complete.

• Do not connect the power cord to, or disconnect it from the AC power adaptor while it is connected to a wall outlet.
Doing so may create the danger of fire or electric shock.

AC power adaptor

• This unit has no power switch. When installing the unit, incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device in the fixed
wiring, or connect the power cord to socket-outlet which must be provided near the unit and easily accessible. If a fault
should occur during operation of the unit, operate the disconnect device to switch the power supply off, or disconnect
the power cord.

• Do not use a poor fitting AC power outlet. Insert the plug fully into the AC power outlet. A poor fit may cause arcing
and result in a fire. Contact your electrician to have the AC power outlet changed.

• Do not use the AC power adaptor placed in a narrow space, such as between a wall and furniture.

• Do not place the AC power adaptor near any heat sources such as other AC adaptor.

• Do not wave the power cord or AC power adaptor cable in the air. The plugs may hit people, or glasses, causing
personal injury.

• Do not connect the AC power adaptor to an electric transformer. Doing so may cause overheating or malfunction of the
product.

• Do not cover the AC power adaptor with a cloth or bedding materials during use. Heat may built up inside the
apparatus, resulting in a deformation of casing or a fire.

Cleaning

• Unplug the power code before cleaning the apparatus. Cleaning the apparatus connected to a power source may create
the danger of electric shock.

• Periodically clean the plug and terminal. If dust accumulating in the terminal or the gap between the plug and the wall
outlet gets moist, it may cause poor insulation that creates the danger or fire. Unplug the power cord and clean the plug
terminal periodically.

Use

• Do not allow water or any foreign matter to get in the apparatus. Doing so may create the danger of fire, electric shock,
or personal injury. If such materials accidentally get in, immediately unplug the power cord and contact Customer
Information Services Center.

• Do not open the casing of the apparatus. Doing so may create the danger of fire or electrical shock.

• Do not operate this product near the medical devices (such as pacemaker, etc.).

• Unplug the power cord when moving the apparatus.

• Do not touch the power cord, the AC adaptor and the apparatus with wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock
or damage to the apparatus.

• Do not touch the system or AC adaptor for an extended period of time while in use.

• Do not put anything heavy on this apparatus.

• Do not apply strong impact to the apparatus.

• Do not allow any metal object to contact with the terminal. Doing so may cause the apparatus to short, creating the
danger of fire or malfunction.

• Do not detach the ferrite core from the cable.

CAUTION

If the following safety precautions are not observed and the product is used incorrectly, it may result in injury or
property damage.
