1.1 Unpacking the Phenom components
Make sure the room where the Phenom components are to be placed is clean and dry
and that room temperature is between 15 °C and 30°C (59 °F and 86°F).
Room humidity should not exceed 80% RH.
Avoid direct sunlight, vibrations and strong magnetic fields.
Also refer to chapter 3.1 ‘Requirements for positioning the Phenom components’.
1 First inspect the packaging before opening it. If the packaging is damaged or if the
locks are open, we recommend that you report this to Phenom-World’s Customer

components are still in good condition.
2 Open all 4 locks and open the top cover completely.
3 Remove the front panel by lifting it upwards.

Due to the weight, it is recommended that two people, one on each side, lift the
Phenom out of the box. Donot lift from the front as the door could easily be
damaged. Donot lift by the plexiglass frontcap or by the door handle.

refer to chapter 1.2 ‘Packaging contents’.
