The site where you install the switch may greatly affect its performance. Please
follow these guidelines for setting up the switch:
■ Install the switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support at least 6.6
lbs. (3 kg) of weight. Do not place heavy objects on the switch.
■ The power outlet should be within 6 feet (1.82 meters) of the switch.
■ Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to the AC
power port.
■ Make sure that there is correct heat dissipation from and adequate
ventilation around the switch. Leave at least 6 inches (152.3 mm) of space
at the front and rear of the switch for ventilation.
■ Install the switch in a fairly cool and dry place for the acceptable
temperature and humidity operating ranges.
■ Install the switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators
(such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
■ When installing the switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the
bottom of the device. The rubber feet cushion the switch, protect the casing
from scratches, and prevent it from scratching other surfaces.
