Safety Instructi o ns

The access point (AP) can be operated safely if you observe the information in these
security notes and on the appliance itself.

► Never reach into the appliance. There are contact dangerous circuits inside the

appliance which might provoke death in case of contact.

► Damaged appliances must be returned. It is prohibited to open the AP and/or to

exchange its components. Failure to comply with this rule will result in a loss of
the warranty cover from Sophos!

► Connect the device only to a power socket with flawless earth conductor. Deficient

earth conductor connections do not comply with the requirements for safety and
electromagnetic compatibility. Let the power socket be controlled by a specialized
dealer before connecting the hardware appliance.

► Before you switch on the appliance make sure that your mains voltage complies

with the supply voltage of the appliance. The connection data are indicated on the
name plate.

► To separate the AP completely from the mains, remove the power cable from the

power socket. Make sure that the power plug is freely accessible.

► Make sure that no one can trip over the power cable and that it cannot be

damaged by objects.

► Only connect system peripherals complying with the requirements for protective

extra-low voltage according to EN/IEC 60950-1.

► Only use the supplied and/or spare parts and accessories validated by Sophos.

Use of non-approved spare parts and accessories may drastically affect the
functions of the appliance and your safety. The supplied parts are indicated in the
Operating Instructions, which is available from the Sophos corporate website at
http://www.sophos.com/en­us/medialibrary/PDFs/operatinginstructions/sophoswirelessoien.pdf.

► The AP produces heat so that a sufficient air circulation to remove the heat must

be ensured in the final application.

► Avoid a permanent high level of air humidity and formation of condensation water.

Protect the appliance from humidity and chemicals. Safe use of the AP is no
longer possible if:

o the chassis is damaged
o water penetrated into the appliance
o objects entered into the appliance via air opening
o smoke comes out of the appliance

o the power cable is damaged
o it does no longer work properly

► Immediately turn off the AP in the event of one of the above problems, remove the

power cable from the power socket and contact your competent customer service
as soon as possible.

► We expressly exclude any product liability and warranty claims if the AP is not

operated according to the instructions in these security notes and to the notes
attached to the AP itself!

PoE-Injector Safety Information

► Connect the PoE-Injector to PoE networks only, without routing to the outside

plant.

► AC Power Cord:

o The power cord must have regulatory agency approval for the specific

country in which it is used (for example, UL, CSA, VDE, GS, etc.).

o The power cord must be a three-conductor type (two current carrying

conductors; one ground conductor terminated on one end by an IEC
60320 appliance coupler (for connection to the PoE-Injector), and on the
other end by a plug containing a ground (earthing) contact.

o The power cord must be razed for a minimum of 250 VAC RMS operation,

with a minimum rated current capacity of 5 A (or a minimum wire gauge of
18 AWG (0.75 mm2)).

o A PoE-Injector installed in Australia requires power cords with a minimum

wire gauge of 16 AWG (1.0 mm2).

► The PoE-Injector "Data In" and "Data & Power Out" ports are shielded RJ45 data

sockets. They cannot be used as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) telephone
sockets. Connect RJ45 data connectors only to those sockets.

► The AC wall socket-outlet must be near the PoE-Injector and easily accessible.

You can remove AC power from the PoE-Injector by disconnecting the AC power
cord from either the wall socket-outlet or the PoE-Injector appliance coupler.

► The PoE-Injector "Data In" and "Data & Power Out" interfaces are qualified as

Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) circuits according to IEC 60950-1. Connect
these interfaces only to SELV interfaces on other equipment.

Warnings

► Connect the PoE-Injector only to the IP device with which it was bought. Using the

PoE-Injector with other IP devices can cause damage to the IP device.

► Read the installation instructions before connecting the PoE-Injector to its power

source.

► Follow basic electricity safety measures whenever connecting the PoE-Injector to

its power source.

► A voltage mismatch can cause equipment damage and may pose a fire hazard. If

the voltage indicated on the label is different from the power outlet voltage, do not
connect the PoE-Injector to that power outlet.
