WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace,

or service this equipment.

WARNING: Installation of this equipment must comply with local and national electrical

codes.

CAUTION: Make sure that you form a 3”-5” drip loop in any cable that is attached to the

Access Point and Ethernet surge protector. This will prevent water from running along the

cable and entering the Access Point, Ethernet surge protector, or the building where the

cable terminates.

CAUTION: Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local and national

electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use lightning rods and lightning

arrestors.

WARNING: The Ruckus Wireless PoE injector (if supplied with your Access Point) is for

indoor use only. Never mount the PoE injector outdoor with the Access Point.

NOTE: If the power outlet in your installation environment is three-pronged, use the two-

prong plug adapter that is shipped with the Access Point.

Decide How You Will Supply Power to the Access

Point

The Access Point supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and 12 VC DC power and can be

connected to both power sources at the same time. If you connect the Access Point to

both PoE and DC power sources at the same time, it will use PoE as the primary power

source and DC power as the backup power source.
