User Guide XAP-1040 Bottom View 4.4 Inside View For maximum weather resistance, all System LEDs and the Reset button are located internally. Unless it becomes necessary to do so, opening the XAP-1040 is not suggested. Note that there are no user serviceable parts. There is also a metal insert for grounding power. For troubleshooting, functional validation or system Reset, you will need to open the XAP-1040. To do so, remove the 4 screws at the back of the unit.
User Guide CAUTION: When lifting the base, be careful not to pull, bend or otherwise move the base or cover excessively. By simply lifting the base slightly, you should be able to see the LEDs as well as access the Reset button. When re-assembling the unit, be sure to maintain the weather-resistant integrity of the enclosure by verifying that the rubber seal is properly seated and the four screws are firmly in place, but not over-tightened.
