direct connection or to multiple PC’s via a local area network (LAN).
Direct Connection: When connecting your wireless router to a single PC, con-
nect the Ethernet port on the wireless router and the network interface on your
PC with a "crossover" Ethernet cable.
LAN Connection: When connecting your wireless router to multiple PCs via a
hub, router, or switch, use standard "straight-through" Ethernet cables throughout
the entire network.
NOTE: Nokia RoofTop Wireless Routers are capable of providing Internet access
for multiple PCs, however the actual number of PCs that can receive Internet
connectivity via your wireless router will depend on the level of service you
purchased from your Internet Service Provider.

Introduction
Your Nokia RoofTop™ Wireless Router is a revolutionary new product, delivering
high-speed wireless Internet access.
Nokia RoofTop Wireless Routers combine an RF modem with a digital IP router
board and specialized wireless routing system, the Nokia AIR Operating System
(OS). This combination creates an IP router that is “wireless and intelligent.”
Your Nokia RoofTop Wireless Router not only provides you with fast “always-on”
Internet access, but is also an integral part of the network infrastructure. Some
routers may rely on others to reach the Internet. It is very important that your
wireless router is always powered ON, even when you are not using it, as it may
be forwarding and routing traffic for other routers in the network.
Warnings, Safety Instructions
and Technical Support
Important User Information
The Nokia RoofTop Wireless Router was designed and manufactured to meet
strict quality and safety standards. It complies with the FCC rules, Part 15 and
with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.
This wireless router and its associated components are Class B devices that
must be installed and/or moved by a professional.
Accessories
• Use only Nokia approved accessories for all installations.
Cleaning the Unit
• Clean the wireless router with a dry cloth or paper towel.
Do not use any liquids to clean the unit.
Wireless Router Mounting
• Install the wireless router on a wall or on a desktop only in its special mounting
holder, which provides ventilation and helps protect against spilled liquids.
Ventilation Openings
• The small openings on the bottom and sides of the unit provide necessary
ventilation for the proper operation of the unit. Install the unit so that its
location or position does not interfere with this ventilation.
• Take precautions so that small objects are not dropped into the ventilation
openings.
Power
•Power Unit- Place the DC power unit out of the way, or tape it to the
side of a vertical surface to prevent it from being stepped on or damaged.
•Power Cords- Cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to
the point where cords, plugs, and convenience receptacles exit the unit. The
DC cord should be placed in the strain relief to avoid accidental disconnection.
Interference
• The wireless router can cause interference to (and interfere with) other
devices operating in the 2.4 to 2.435 GHz radio spectrum.
Instructions
• Read and follow all safety and operating instructions
• Heed all precautions and warnings in the instructions and on the equipment
• Keep instructions for future use
Hazard Warnings
•Environment - Do not place the unit in a very hot, very cold, dusty, wet, or
high humidity environment. The unit should be situated away from all heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, amplifiers, and other heat-
producing appliances.
•Fire or Electric Shock - Do not expose the wireless router to any type of
moisture, including rain. Do not use or install near water- related environments
such as sinks, bathtubs, laundry areas, spas, swimming pools, or in wet
basements. Take care not to spill any liquids on the unit.
•RF Exposure – Disconnect power from the wireless router when working
within 2 meters of the antenna.
Grounding and Polarization
• To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot
of the receptacle, then fully insert. Do not use this polarized plug with an
extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully
inserted to prevent blade exposure.
• If an outside antenna is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna system
is grounded to provide protection from voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSINFPA No 70-1984
provides information about proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding
electrode. All grounding should be performed by a professional.
Some routers may rely on others to reach the Internet.
It is very important that your wireless router is always
powered ON, even when you are not using it, as it may
be forwarding and routing traffic for other routers in
the network.
