3M Adhesives

CAUTION:

adhesive residue on the

wall when removed.

Caution, Hot Surface

The device should be used within a temperature range of 0°C-40°C.

When the router is working, the temperature on its back is high. Do not touch the router with bare hands, and do not stick or directly mount the

router to wallpaper, paper, wood, glass, non-heat-resistant paint, foam board, flammable and explosive materials, etc, to avoid burns,

discoloration, breakage or other accidental injury.

The back area of the router is used for heat dissipation. It works best when the router is mounted

on a wall.

It is recommended to mount the router to flat and smooth painted walls, tile walls, and other objects. Do not stick it on metal surfaces, so as not

to shield the wireless signal.

1. Tear off the protective paper from the

3M adhesives on the back of the

router.

*2 extra 3M adhesives are

provided for future use.

spirit level to help install the
