NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a "Class B" digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules and meets all requirements of the Canadian InterferenceCausing Equipment Standard ICES-003 for digital apparatus. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in strict
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
● Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
● Increase the separation between equipment and the receiver.
● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Preparing for use
Setting up the device
When installing your device, give consideration to the safety notes in the "Safety" manual.
!
Only install the device in the operating positions for which it is intended.
We recommend that you place your device on a surface with good anti-slip qualities. In
view of the multitude of different finishes and varnishes used on furniture, it is possible that
the rubber / plastic feet will mark the surface they stand on.
Do not expose the device to extreme environmental conditions (see "
gültiges Resultat für Tabelle."). Protect the device from dust, humidity, and heat.
Make sure that the device is adequately ventilated. In order to avoid overheating, do not
cover the ventilation area of the monitor or the device.
If you place a monitor on the device, it may weigh a maximum of 25 kg. Make sure that
you do not block any ventilation slots on the device.
Depending on the location of your device, bothersome vibrations and noises may occur.
To prevent this, a distance of at least 3 mm should be maintained from other devices on
casing sides without ventilation surfaces. In addition, we recommend placing the device on
support feet, as these buffer vibrations.
The device can operate in either a vertical or horizontal position.
Vertical operating position
Proceed as follows to operate the device in the vertical operating position:
► If necessary, disconnect the cables.
► Place the device and the base feet
horizontally on a non-slip surface.
► Insert the base feet into the mounting
holes in the left side panel.
Fehler! Kein
► Set up the device vertically using the base
feet as shown.
► If necessary, reconnect the cables.
The set-up direction is specified. The ON/OFF switch must be at the top to ensure
!
8 A26361-K1009-Z120-1-7619, edition 4
sufficient ventilation.
The vertical operating position is only permissible with base feet. The base feet provide for
sufficient ventilation on the underside of the device.
If the base feet are mounted properly, they must not protrude beyond the side panels of
the device when it is in the vertical operating position.
Preparing for use
Horizontal operating position with rubber / plastic feet
The horizontal operating position is only permitted with the rubber/plastic feet (due to heat
!
produced on the underside).
► If necessary, disconnect the cables.
► Position the device vertically.
► Pull off the foil from the rubber / plastic
feet that you will find in the accessories
package.
► Stick the rubber / plastic feet on the base
of the casing.
To ensure stable position of the device
the rubber / plastic feet should be fixed in
similiar positions as shown in the figure.
► Place the unit on the rubber / plastic feet
and reconnect any cables disconnected
previously.
