serve the following security instructions in order to protect

yourself and the FRITZ!Box from harm.

•

Do

not

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

mount it on a wall. Please note the following:

•

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.
