excessive heat.
• Place the access point in a location where it can be connected to various devices as
well as to a power source.
• Make sure the cables and power cord are safely placed out of the way so they do not
create a tripping hazard.

• Keep the access point away from devices with strong electromagnetic interference,
such as Bluetooth devices, cordless phones and microwaves.
