ventilation and heat sources.
NOTICE
• Do not block any of the modem's ventilation openings.

adequate ventilation and prevent overheating.
• Do not place the modem near a heat source such as direct sunlight, a
radiator, heat register or vent, oven, stove, amplifier, or other apparatus
that produces heat.
Install and operate the HN9800 modem only in the upright vertical position resting
