Overloaded outlets, extension cords and power strips can lead to fires or electric shocks.
Avoid using socket strips and extension cords if at all possible.
•
Do not connect multiple extension cords or socket strips to each
•
other.

Overheating

Heat accumulation can lead to overheating of the FRITZ!Box and sub sequently damage the FRITZ!Box.
Provide for sufficient air circulation around the FRITZ!Box.
•
Make sure that the ventilation slits on the FRITZ!Box housing are
•
always unobstructed.
The FRITZ!Box should not be placed on a carpet or on upholstered
•
furniture.
Do not cover the FRITZ!Box.
•

Power Surges Caused by Lightning

During electrical storms, electrical surges caused by lightning present a danger to connected electrical devices.
Do not install the FRITZ!Box during an electrical storm.
•
During a storm, disconnect the FRITZ!Box from the power supply
•
and from the DSL or VDSL line.
8FRITZ!Box7590
General Remarks

Internet Security

Comprehensive information about how to protect your FRITZ!Box and your home network from access by strangers is presented in the Inter net at:
en.avm.de/guide

Radio and Electromagnetic Interference

Radio interference can be generated by every device that emits elec tromagnetic signals. With so many radio waves from transmitting and receiving devices, interference can occur when radio waves overlap.
9FRITZ!Box7590
General Remarks
•
Do not use the FRITZ!Box in places where the use of radio devices is prohibited.
Follow any instructions to switch off radio devices – especially in
•
hospitals, outpatient treatment centers, medical practices and other medical facilities – in order to prevent interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Consult your doctor and the manufacturer of your medical device
•
(pacemaker, hearing aid, electronically controlled implant, etc.) to find out whether it could be affected by interference from your FRITZ!Box.
If applicable, maintain the recommended minimum distance of
•
15cm recommended by the manufacturers of medical devices in order to prevent malfunctions of your medical device.

Potentially Explosive Environments

Under unfavorable conditions, radio waves in the vicinity of explosive environments can cause fires or explosions.
Do not install and operate your FRITZ!Box in the vicinity of flam
•
mable gases, explosive environments, areas in which the air con tains chemicals or particles like grain, dust or metal powder, or in the vicinity of detonation grounds.
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, and in the
•
vicinity of detonation grounds, follow the instructions to switch off electronic devices in order to prevent interference with detonation and ignition systems.
10FRITZ!Box7590
General Remarks

Electromagnetic Fields

The FRITZ!Box receives and transmits radio waves during operation.
The FRITZ!Box was designed and constructed to comply with the
•
threshold values for the exposition of radio waves recommended by the International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Pro tection (ICNIRP).
This directive was formulated by independent scientific organiza
•
tions after regular and careful evaluation of scientific studies. It includes a large safety margin in order to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of their age and health.
For devices mounted in a fixed position that have their own power
•
connection, like the FRITZ!Box, compliance with the minimum dis tance of 20cm defined in the ICNIRP guideline has been certified. The measurements were conducted in accordance with the European EN50385 standard.
