the back for power cable clearance.
• The location must not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• The location must be at least 2 feet (61 cm) away from any heating vents, and no area-heating
vent should point towards the device.
• The location must be ventilated to prevent heat buildup.

• The power cable must be able to reach an outlet.
