Using a cable splitter
You'll need a cable splitter and extra coaxial cables for this set-up process.
Pick these up at any Optimum store to ensure the best quality of service.
Using a cable splitter
Disconnect your existing coaxial cable from the cable outlet and connect it to one of
the output ports on your cable splitter. The second output port will be used to connect
your cable box. Use the additional Optimum store-provided coaxial cable to connect
the input port to the cable splitter and connect the other end to the cable outlet on the
wall. To continue the set-up process, go back to the section with your specific cable
box and TV combination.

A few tips to keep in mind
Put your cable box in an area where it won't overheat
Place the cable box in an open space to avoid overheating and malfunction.
Don't place anything directly on top of the cable box.
Do not connect anything else to your cable box
Do not plug gaming consoles, DVD players, VCRs or anything else into your cable
box.
If the picture freezes or the cable box won't respond, try rebooting the cable box
Unplug the power cord from the cable box. Wait five seconds, then plug it back
in. When you see "Turn" and "On" alternating on the LED screen, turn it back on.
When the cable box displays the time, the reboot is complete.
If you're replacing an existing cable box
Return your old cable box and power cord to any Optimum store or get a shipping
label to send them back at optimum.net/returns.
