The R980 router is built for installation in a variety of environments. Ericsson recommends having a professional install the R980 router to ensure proper signal reception and usage. The following are best practices for determining the location for the installation:
Ensure that the mounting surface is flat and clear of any obstructions or objects that may interfere with the antennas, signal reception, or cables.
Position the device for optimal cellular and Wi-Fi signal reception.
Avoid mounting in direct sunlight or in locations where it may be exposed to the weather. Ensure plenty of airflow for ventilation.
Keep the device out of reach. It is required that the endpoint be installed behind a locked or gated enclosure to restrict unauthorized access. The R980 is designed to work in elevated ambient temperatures, which may cause the surface of the device to become too hot to safely touch.
Mount in locations compliant with the Safety, Regulatory, and Warranty guide, included in the product shipping box.
Important
Ericsson Cradlepoint recommends the R980 router is set up at a minimum separation distance between the Ericsson hardware and human beings. The recommended minimum separation distance is listed on the Safety, Regulatory, and Warranty guide included in the shipping box. For assistance with installation, contact Sales and Support.
