Safety Information
WARNING
• Opening the unit, for whatever reason, could lead
to damage that is not covered by the warranty.
• Do not touch the device or accessories during
thunderstorms. Electrical shock could result.
• This device is made for use in the USA only.
• For indoor use only.
• Do not use this equipment on hospital premises.
Doing so may cause medical devices to
malfunction.
• Do not use this equipment in an aircraft, as doing
so could cause the aircraft's equipment to
malfunction.
• While using the Wireless LAN Converter, do not
cover it or turn it on its side. Do not cover the
Wireless LAN Converter with objects such as
magazines or newspapers or use it in confined,
enclosed places, such as the spaces between
walls and furniture. Furthermore, do not turn the
Wireless LAN Converter on its side while using
it. Either situation could cause heat to build up
inside the Wireless LAN Converter, leading to
overheating and possible fire.
• Carefully place the Ethernet cable. Personal
injury or damage to the Wireless LAN Converter
could result from people tripping over the
Ethernet cable, Wireless Unit cable, Power Unit,
or power cord. Protect wiring by locating it in
places where people do not walk.
• Do not swing the Wireless LAN Converter.
Injury could result if the adapter strikes a person
or fragile material, such as glass.
• Keep the Wireless LAN Converter out of the
reach of children. Unforeseeable injury could
result from swallowing loose parts, etc.
• Place the Wireless LAN Converter on a stable
surface. Do not place the Wireless LAN
Converter on wobbly or tilted surfaces. Tipping

not strong enough, leading to unforeseeable
accidents. Further, be careful not to drop the unit
or the tools used for mounting it. Doing so could
result in unforeseeable accidents.
• Avoid locations that are directly exposed to
sunlight or heaters.
Internal overheating could result in fire or
damage to the unit.
• Make sure connectors are properly connected.
– Do not insert any metallic objects inside the

cause fire or damage to the unit.
– Be careful to insert connectors squarely.
Crooked insertion could cause pins to shortcircuit, possibly causing fire or damage to the
unit.
• Use only the supplied Power Unit with your Sony
Wireless LAN Converter. To disconnect your
Wireless LAN Converter from the power supply,
unplug the Power Unit.
• ISDN and telephone lines cannot be connected to
the Wireless Unit connector and/or NETWORK
connector of the Power Unit.

current to the connectors may cause damage,
overheating or fire. Connecting to home or
business-use telephone lines is strictly prohibited.
– Telephone lines
– PBX (private branch exchange)
– Home or business-use telephone lines
– Lines other than those mentioned above.
• Do not connect the Wireless LAN Converter to a
hub as this affects the correct operation of the
Converter.
