Safety Instructions
Overview
Before connecting the FRITZ!Box, observe the following security in-
structions in order to protect yourself, the surroundings, and the
FRITZ!Box from harm.
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.
• Provide for sufficient air circulation around the FRITZ!Box.
• Make sure that the ventilation slits on the FRITZ!Box housing are al-
ways unobstructed.
• The FRITZ!Box should not be placed on carpets or upholstery.
• Do not cover the FRITZ!Box.
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.
• Do not place the FRITZ!Box on overly heat-sensitive surfaces.
Power Surges Caused by Lightning
During electrical storms, electrical surges caused by lightning present
a danger to connected electrical devices.

Radio and Electromagnetic Interference
Radio interference can be generated by every device that emits elec-
tromagnetic signals. With so many devices transmitting and receiving
radio waves, interference can occur when radio waves overlap.
• Do not use the FRITZ!Box in places where the use of radio devices is
prohibited.
• Follow any instructions to switch off radio devices – especially in
hospitals, outpatient treatment centers, medical practices and
other medical facilities – in order to prevent interference with
sensitive medical equipment.
• Consult your doctor and the manufacturer of your medical device
(pacemaker, hearing aid, electronically controlled implant, etc.)
to find out whether it could be affected by interference from your
FRITZ!Box.
• If applicable, maintain the recommended minimum distance of
15cm recommended by the manufacturers of medical devices in
order to prevent malfunctions of your medical device.
Potentially Explosive Environments
Under unfavorable conditions, radio waves in the vicinity of explosive
environments can cause fires or explosions.
• Do not install and operate your FRITZ!Box in the vicinity of explo-
sive environments, flammable gases, areas in which the air con-
tains chemicals or particles like grain, dust or metal powder, or in
the vicinity of detonation grounds.
• In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, and in the
vicinity of detonation grounds, follow the instructions to switch off
electronic devices in order to prevent interference with detonation
and ignition systems.
