Ventilation	Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the sides of the switch.
	Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling. Be sure that
	there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where you will install the switch.
Cabling	Route the cable to avoid sources of electrical noise such as radio transmitters,
	broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
