Frequently Asked Questions

How do I space the unit for proper ventilation?

Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear of the unit, and ensure materials like curtains do not obstruct the vents.

What safety precaution must I take if I use an outdoor antenna?

You must ground the entire antenna system to protect against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Is there any special warning when using the power cord?

The cord must be routed so it is not walked on or pinched, and you should never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands.
