1. 4. Position Your AP Device

• Place your AP device in a well-ventilated place far from any heater or heating vent

• Avoid direct irradiation of any strong light (such as sunlight)

• Keep at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space around your AP device

• Operating Temperature: 0℃~40℃(32℉~104℉)

• Operating Humidity: 10%~90%RH, Non-condensing

Generally, your AP device is placed on a horizontal surface. It also can be mounted on

the wall as shown below.

Note:

The diameter of the screw, 4mm<D<7mm, and the distance of two screws is 55.43mm. The screw that projects from

the wall needs around 3.5mm based, and the length of the screw need to be at least 20mm to withstand the weight

of the product.
