Installer Compliance Responsibility

Devices must be professionally installed and it is the

professional installer's responsibility to make sure the device is

operated within local country regulatory requirements.

Since Ubiquiti Networks equipment can be paired with a

variety of antennas and cables, the Antenna and Output Power

fields are provided to the professional installer to assist in

meeting regulatory requirements.

Electrical Safety Information

1. Compliance is required with respect to voltage, frequency, and current

requirements indicated on the manufacturer’s label. Connection to a

different power source than those specified may result in improper

operation, damage to the equipment or pose a fire hazard if the

limitations are not followed.

2. There are no operator serviceable parts inside this equipment. Service

should be provided only by a qualified service technician.

3. This equipment is provided with a detachable power cord which has

an integral safety ground wire intended for connection to a grounded

safety outlet.

a. Do not substitute the power cord with one that is not the provided

approved type. Never use an adapter plug to connect to a 2-wire

outlet as this will defeat the continuity of the grounding wire.

b. The equipment requires the use of the ground wire as a part of the

safety certification, modification or misuse can provide a shock

hazard that can result in serious injury or death.

c. Contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer if there

are questions about the installation prior to connecting the

equipment.
