Opening the Access Cover

To open the 2.4-GHz radio access cover, follow the steps below:

Step 2 Remove all static-generating items from the work area, such as plastic material, styrofoam cups, and

other similar items.

Step 3 Place the access point and the new 2.4-GHz radio (in its antistatic bag) on an antistatic work surface.

Step 4 Discharge any static buildup on your body by touching a grounded surface (antistatic work surface)

before proceeding.

Step 5 Position the access point so that the bottom cover is facing up.

Caution The internal access point components and the 2.4-GHz radio can be damaged by ESD from improper

handling.
