Introduction
•
Place this equipment on a stable surface.
•
Postpone cable modem installation until there is no risk of thunderstorm or lightning activity in the area.
•
It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge protector in the AC outlet to which this device is
connected. This is to avoid damaging the equipment by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.
•
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning. For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet, and disconnect the cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power surges.
•
Do not cover the device, or block the airflow to the device with any other objects. Keep the device away from
excessive heat and humidity and keep the device free from vibration and dust.
•
Wipe the unit with a clean, dry cloth. Never use cleaning fluid or similar chemicals. Do not spray cleaners
directly on the unit or use forced air to remove dust.
•
Avoid damaging the cable modem with static by touching the coaxial cable when it is attached to the earth-
grounded coaxial cable-TV wall outlet.
•
Always first touch the coaxial cable connector on the cable modem when disconnecting or re-connecting USB
or Ethernet cable from the cable modem or the user's PC.

Operate this product only from the type of power source indicated on the product's marking label. If you are

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
•
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the product is in safe operating condition.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Be sure that the outside cable system is grounded, so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Article 820-40 of the NEC (Section 54, Part I of the Canadian Electrical Code) provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies the CATV cable ground shall be connected in the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
