Setting up the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable
The Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable can be set up in any suitable location in your home
or office. You do not need any special wiring. However you should comply with the fol-
lowing guidelines:
u
Operate the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable only indoors within a temperature range
of +5 to +40 °C. Do not position the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable near sources of
heat. Do not cover the ventilation slots. High temperatures can damage the device.
u
A mains socket for 220/240V~ and a connection socket for the modem or LAN must
be available where you set up the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable.
u
Do not site the device in the immediate vicinity of stereo equipment, TV sets or
microwave ovens. This may cause interference.
u
Position the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable so that it is as near to the centre of your
wireless network as possible. Make sure that where you position the Gigaset SE551
WLAN dsl/cable has optimum reception throughout the house or office. You can
improve the reception quality by aligning the antenna (turn and/or tilt).
u
Position the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable on a non-slip surface. The router feet do
not normally leave any traces on the surface they are on. However, some furniture
surfaces may contain substances that attack and soften the router's rubber feet.
Then the feet may well mark the furniture surface.
u
Do not place the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable on any furniture surface that could
be affected by the heat from the device.
u
Position the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable so that it cannot fall.
u
Lay the cables so that nobody can trip over them.
u
If you wish to mount the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable on the wall, use flat-headed
or tallow-drop screws with a maximum thread diameter of 3.5mm. The screws are
not included in the scope of delivery.
