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.
