Safety Instructions
The warranty will be void in the event of damage caused by failure to observe
these safety instructions! We do not assume any liability for any consequen-
tial damage!
We do not accept liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by
improper handling or non-compliance with the safety instructions! The war-
ranty will be null and void in such cases.
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is inadmissible
because of safety and approval reasons (CE).
• The product is intended to be used in dry indoor locations only. The total product
should not be moist or wet, never hold it in wet hands!
There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• The device is not a toy. Keep devices that operate on the mains voltage out of the
reach of children! Therefore, be especially careful when children are around.
Operate the product in a way that it is out of reach of children.
• Do not pull the power plug from the mains socket by pulling on the cable.
• If the power cable is damaged, do not touch it; there is danger to life from electric
shock!
Switch off the mains voltage for the mains socket to which the power cable is con-
nected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse).
Then you can remove the power plug of the power cable from the mains socket.
Dispose of the damaged power cable in an environment-friendly way, do not use
it any more. Do not try to repair a damaged power cable!
Replace it with a new power cable having the same specifications.
• The design of the product complies with safety class II. Only a proper power sock-
et should be used as voltage source (see section „Technical Data").
• Do not leave packing materials unattended. They may become dangerous play-
things for children.
• Handle the product with care, it can be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental
drops, even from a low height.

• Connect the power socket of the gigabit switch over the power cable with a power plug includ-
ed in the package contents (for voltage, see Chapter „Technical Data"). The power LED of the
gigabit switch must light up now, indicating that the product is ready for operation.

• Connect the RJ45 network ports of the gigabit switch with the corresponding connections of
your computer (or with other devices with network connections, e.g.,television, satellite receiv-
er, games consoles etc.).
• One green LED per port is used as Link-/Act-LED. The LED is lit continually for a faultless net-
work connection or it flashes during data transfers.
One yellow LED per port indicates an existing gigabit connection (LED lights up at 1000MBit,
LED goes off at 10/100MBit).
Setting up and installation
The gigabit switch can be installed or operated in different ways:
• Installation on a level surface (table, counter top etc.)
If the rubber supports are delivered separately, paste them at the bottom of the gigabit switch.
Ensure that the gigabit switch is stable and that it cannot topple over.
Protect valuable furniture surfaces with a suitable base, as otherwise scratches may develop;
or the surface may be exposed to discolouration from the rubber supports caused by chemi-
cal reactions.
• Wall mounting with the help of mounting holes at the bottom
The gigabit switch can be mounted on the wall with two screws or hooks on the wall.
While driving the screws/hooks in the wall provided for the purpose (you can also use fitting
dowels), please ensure that no cable or pipe in the wall is damaged!
Finally, hang the gigabit switch on the screws/hooks you just fixed on the wall, so that it sits
tightly and cannot fall down.
• Use of the magnets included in the delivery
Fasten the magnets with the countersunk bolt included in the delivery to the bottom of the giga-
bit switch. Do not use any other screws to fasten the magnets, because this can damage the
gigabit switch (too long screws destroy the PCB inside the gigabit switch; loss of warranty!).
The network switch can now be fastened on a suitable surface over the magnets.
Please note that fastening the magnets can lead to scratches on the mounting surface!
The magnets can damage data storage units based on magnetic memory (diskettes, magnet
tapes, hard drives, etc). Make sure to keep adequate distance from such data storage units.
Handling
The gigabit switch supplied has automatic uplink recognition for each port, which
allows for particularly simple wiring to other switches. A cross-link cable is not
required any more, you can use a conventional 1:1 connected networking cable.
• Only use in dry indoor locations. The product must not get damp or wet! There is
a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold room to a
warm one. The condensation that forms might destroy your unit. This might cause
a lethal electric shock!
Allow the product to reach room temperature, before connecting it to the power
supply and putting it in to use. This may take several hours.
• Any maintenance or repair work must only be carried out by authorised personnel.
• Check the product for damage before each use!
If you detect any damage, DO NOT connect the product to the mains supply!
A safe operation can no longer be assumed, if:
- the product exhibits visible damage
- the product does not function or does not function properly (e.g., smell of burn-
ing)
- the product was stored under unfavourable conditions
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are neither kinked nor
pinched.
• If you do not use the product for a longer period of time (e.g., during storage), dis-
connect the power plug from the mains socket (all the network connections cease
to function!)
• Avoid the following unfavourable environmental conditions at the installation loca-
tion and during transportation:
- Excessive humidity or damp
- Extreme cold or heat
- Dust or flammable gases, fumes or solvents
- Strong vibrations
