3.1 Recommendations for Best Perfor m ance
.
To achieve the best performance:
• Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal q uality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels
(often associated with lo w quality cables)
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal qualit y and posit ion your SG-6006 away from moisture,
excessive sunlight and dust
