serve the following security instructions in order to protect

yourself and the FRITZ!Box from harm.

•

Do

not

install the FRITZ!Box during an electrical

storm.

•

Disconnect FRITZ!Box from the power supply during

electrical storms.

•

Never let liquids get inside the FRITZ!Box. Otherwise,

electric shocks or short circuits may result.

•

The FRITZ!Box is intended for indoor use only.

Handling the

FRITZ!Box

You can either place FRITZ!Box on a horizontal surface or

mount it on a wall. Please note the following:

•

Place or hang the FRITZ!Box in a dry location that is

free of dust and protected from direct sunlight.

For ideal operating conditions, mount the FRITZ!Box

on a wall with the cables connected on the bottom.

surfaces, as the base of the device can heat up dur-

ing normal operation.
