Safety Instructions

You can operate the access point (AP) safely if you follow the information in these Safety Instructions and on the appliance.
Do not reach into the appliance. There are dangerous circuits inside the appliance that can cause death if you touch them.
Damaged appliances must be returned. It is forbidden to open the hardware appliance or to change its components. Failure to comply with this rule results in the loss of warranty cover from EDIMAX.
Connect the device to a power socket with a fully functional earth conductor. Defective earth conductor connections do not comply with the requirements for safety and electromagnetic compatibility. Check the power socket before connecting the hardware appliance.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Before you switch on the appliance make sure that your mains voltage complies with the supply voltage of the appliance. The connection data are shown on the name plate.
To disconnect the appliance completely take 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 62368-1.
Only use parts and accessories validated by EDIMAX. Using non-approved parts and accessories may affect the functioning of the appliance and your safety.
The appliance produces heat. Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation to remove the heat.
Avoid a permanent high level of air humidity and formation of condensation. Protect the appliance from humidity and chemicals. Safe use of the appliance is no longer possible if: the chassis is damaged water penetrated the appliance objects entered the appliance via air opening smoke comes out of the appliance the power cable is damaged it does not work properly
Immediately turn off the appliance in the event of one of the above problems, remove the power cable from the power socket and contact your customer service as soon as possible.
We expressly exclude any product liability and warranty claims if the appliance is not operated according to the instructions in these notes and to the notes attached to the appliance itself.

PoE-Injector Safety Information
Caution: The PoE injector is to be connected only to PoE networks without routing to the outside plant.
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).
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)).
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 62368-1. 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.
