2. 1. Position the Devices
• The device should not be located in a place where it will be exposed to moisture or
excessive heat.
• Place the device in a location where it can be connected to multiple devices as well as
to a power source.
• Make sure the cables and power cord are safely placed out of the way so they do not
create a tripping hazard.
• The device can be placed on a shelf or desktop.
• Keep the device away from strong devices with strong electromagnetic interference,
such as Bluetooth devices, cordless phones and microwaves.
