User Guide for F5380

Introduction

These devices feature WiFi6 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ax) with 4x4 MIMO, supporting 20MHz, 40MHz, 80 MHz, and 160MHz bandwidths. They also support straddle channels (ch 138, ch142, ch144).

Installation and Safe Usage Instructions

Important Information about the Sagemcom "F5380" / "FAST 5380" (CWR226e):

1. Place the device (extender/router) in a vertical orientation on a flat surface.
2. Connect the manufacturer-supplied AC to DC power adapter. The F5380/FAST 5380 requires a 12VDC, 3.5A power adapter. Only use a manufacturer-supplied and approved power adapter and Ethernet cable.
3. When connecting the power adapter: Always first plug the mains adapter lead into the device, then the mains lead into the mains adapter, and finally the mains lead into the mains socket. Incorrect connection order may result in electric shock. Ensure the mains lead is properly inserted into the power supply unit and pushed fully into the recess.
4. Connect the device to the AC Mains in accordance with the installation instructions in this booklet and the markings on the identification label (voltage, current, and frequency of electricity network).
5. Connect the Ethernet cable (provided) to the RJ45 port labeled "LAN" on one end and to the Internet access device provided by your ISP on the other end.
6. For connecting a computer via Ethernet cable, use one of the RJ45 ports marked "1" or "2". Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the computer's Ethernet port. Repeat as necessary for other available Ethernet ports.
7. Battery Connection: A dedicated battery port is available for connecting to a battery via a USC Link cable provided by the battery vendor. This port is solely for signal data transmission and does not supply power to the equipment.

General Safety Precautions

When using this device, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons:

1. Do not use this product near water or expose it to moisture. Avoid use near bathtubs, wash bowls, kitchen sinks, laundry tubs, in wet basements, or near swimming pools. Take care to prevent liquids from spilling onto the equipment.
2. This equipment is for indoor use only. Do not place or install it outdoors.
3. Ethernet ports are intended for connection to indoor cable circuits exclusively within the building where the product is installed. Do not terminate them on remote equipment earthed to a different earthing network.
4. Devices connected to telephone interfaces must be kept for indoor use only.
5. Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not connect telephone or telecommunications public networks into the "PHONE" port.
6. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm, as there may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
7. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
8. Ensure the power socket is easily accessible and close to the equipment for quick unplugging in case of a problem.
9. Place the product on a firm, solid surface with at least 50 cm (1.64 feet) of clearance around it. Placing it on unsteady surfaces may cause damage if it falls. Placing it on soft surfaces like rugs or cushions can block vents and cause overheating.
10. Never insert objects into the equipment's vents, as this can pose a risk of electrical shock or fire.
11. As the power adapter is the only means of connecting to the electrical network, the product must be installed near an easily accessed power outlet.
12. Operate this equipment only with the type of power supply (Voltage and Current) indicated on the marking label.
13. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can lead to fire or electrical shock.
14. Avoid blocking any vent or exhaust openings. Do not install the equipment in built-in enclosures like cabinets that may impede airflow.
15. Position the equipment away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other heat-producing appliances.
16. To disconnect from AC power, unplug the power supply from the AC wall socket.
17. Ensure the power cord is routed to prevent it from being walked on or pinched by nearby items.
18. Unplug the equipment before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners; use a damp cloth for cleaning only.
19. This equipment is not user-serviceable. For service, disconnect all power and consult qualified service personnel. Do not disassemble the equipment.
20. Use the product within the specified environment: Air temperature between 0°C (32°F) and +45°C (113°F), relative humidity between 5% and 95%, and altitude up to 2743 meters (9000 feet).
21. RJ Cable (Telephone line cord): Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use only a 26AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
