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 will be placed
outdoors. This will prevent water from running along the cable and entering the Wireless
Bridge, the 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.

for indoor use only. Never mount the PoE injector outdoors with the Wireless Bridge.
