before you begin
Please verify the following with the cable company:
•
The cable service to your home supports DOCSIS-compliant two-way modem access.
• Your internet account has been set up.
• You have a cable outlet near your PC and it is ready for cable modem service.
NOTE: It is important to supply power to the modem at all times. Keeping your modem
plugged in will keep it connected to the Internet. This means that it will always be ready
when you are. To disconnect just your computer from the Internet, use the ON/OFF button to
put the modem in standby mode.
important information
Your cable company should always be consulted before installing a new cable outlet.
Do not attempt any rewiring without contacting your cable company first.
