Selecting the modem location
Select a location for the satellite modem that will accommodate all required cable connections,
including the power source. Place the modem in the desired location.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Do not place the satellite modem near heat sources
such direct sunlight, radiators, heat registers or vents, ovens, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Leave 6 inches of space around the top and sides of the modem to ensure ventilation and
prevent overheating.
