ii Precautions Precautions 1. Location Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high tem- peratures or humidity — such as near radiators, stoves, etc. Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage and locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields, such as close to broadcast equipment. 2. Ventilation The unit has ventilation slots on the bottom panel. Do not block thes
