3.2 Achieving the Best Performance
Achieving the best performance means:
• Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
• Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and
positioning your FC-1ETHN away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
