Appendix A – Providing adequate airflow
to your Extio 3 device
Extio N3408/N3208 transmitter and receiver units only – Because your Extio device disperses heat,
it requires adequate airflow to ensure proper operation and to prevent damage. The following
provides guidelines for effective airflow around your device.
 Leave the proper amount of room around your device – To prevent airflow restriction,
we recommend allowing at least 0.75 inches (1.91 cm) of clearance between the top of
your device and anything above it. More space may be required depending on your
environment.
When your device is resting on a plain surface, make sure your device is resting on the
original rubber feet.
 Operate your device in a well ventilated location – Don't operate your device near a heat
source or restrict airflow to your device (for example, by operating your device inside a
desk cabinet).
 Monitor your ambient temperatures – Make sure the ambient temperature doesn't
exceed the maximum recommended temperatures.
