rity instructions in order to protect yourself, the surroundings, and the

Fires and Electrical Shocks
Overloaded outlets, extension cords, and power strips can cause fires
or electric shocks.
• Avoid using socket strips and extension cords if at all possible.
• Do not connect multiple extension cords or socket strips to each
other.
Overheating
Heat accumulation can cause the FRITZ!Box to overheat. This can re-
sult in damage to the FRITZ!Box.

• Make sure that the ventilation slits on the FRITZ!Box housing are al-
ways unobstructed.

Damage to Heat-Sensitive Surfaces
The base of the FRITZ!Box heats up during normal operation. This heat
can cause damage to heat-sensitive surfaces.

Protection from Storms and Lightning Damage
During storms, overvoltage surges can disrupt electrical and telephone
