Site Selection
The system is designed to operate in a typical office environment. Choose a site that is:
• Clean, dry, and free of airborne particles (other than normal room dust).
• Well-ventilated and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight and radiators.
• Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
• Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices.
• In regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, we recommend you plug your system into a
surge suppresser and disconnect telecommunication lines to your modem during an electrical
storm.
• Provided with a properly grounded wall outlet.
• Provided with sufficient space to access the power supply cord(s), because they serve as the
product’s main power disconnect.
