Heat dissipation ••DO NOT place the receiver against walls, or put anything on top of the receiver. This may block airflow. ••NEVER install the receiver in a place without adequate ventilation. Heat dissipation may be reduced, and the receiver may be damaged. For desktop use The receiver has a stand for desktop use. zzPull the stand until it locks in place.
