Safety Instructions
Overview
Before connecting the FRITZ!Box, observe the following security
instructions in order to protect yourself, the surroundings, and the
FRITZ!Box from harm.
Fires and Electrical Shocks
Overloaded outlets, extension cords and power strips can cause fires
or electric shocks.
Outdated electrical or incorrect broadband cable installations can also
present a fire hazard by allowing extremely high equalizing current to
flow through your device.
•
Avoid using socket strips and extension cords if at all possible.
•
Do not connect multiple extension cords or socket strips to each
other.
•
Make sure that the electrical installation complies with the latest
technical standards.
•
Inform yourself about the performance of your electrical system,
especially the power rating of power lines and outlets.
•
Make sure that the earthing contacts of your power outlets are
connected via a protective ground conductor that is earthed along
with the cable network connection via the equipotential bonding
bar, in accordance with the valid safety standards.
•
When in doubt, ask the service technician performing installation
or a competent electrician.
Overheating
Heat accumulation can lead to overheating of the FRITZ!Box and
subsequently damage the FRITZ!Box.
•
Provide for sufficient air circulation around the FRITZ!Box.
