Setting up the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable

The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable can be set up in any suitable location in the home or office.

You do not need any special wiring. However you should comply with the following

guidelines:

Operate the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable only indoors within a temperature range of

+5 to +40 °C. Do not position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable near a heat source. Do not

cover the ventilation slots. High temperatures will reduce the transmitter range.

A mains socket for 220/230V~ and a connection socket for the DSL modem, cable

modem or LAN must be available where you set up the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable.

Do not site the router in the immediate vicinity of stereo equipment, TV sets or

microwave ovens as this may cause interference.

Position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable so that it is as near to the centre of your wireless

network as possible. The general rule is: The higher you place the antenna, the

better the performance. Make sure that where you position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/

cable has optimum reception throughout the house or office.

Position the Gigaset SE505 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 plastic feet. Then the feet may well mark the furniture surface.

Position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable so that it cannot fall down and damage the

antenna.

Lay the cables so that nobody can trip over them. You should not cover the cables

with anything.

Protect the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable from moisture.

!
