Putting into operation
Every electronic device generates heat. The rise
in temperature, however, lies within a safe range.
Slight colour changes may occur to sensitive fur-
niture surfaces and veneers over the course of
time due to the constant effect of heat. Colour
changes may also be brought about if the unit‘s
feet are in contact with treated furniture surfaces.
Place the modem on a suitable smooth pad
where necessary.
Ventilation
The heat generated in the modem is dissipated
quite adequately. Nevertheless, never install it in
a cabinet, shelf or rack with inadequate ventila-
tion. The clearance above the unit should be at
least 5 cm. Never close off the openings on the
unit intended for heat dissipation.
Do not place any objects on top of the modem.
Humidity
Protect the modem against humidity, drips and
splashes. Never operate it in damp locations.
Exposure to sunlight, heat
Do not place the modem close to radiators nor
where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
