Safety and regulatory information

Read all safety and regulatory information before installing your device and setting up your home network connection.

Important safety instructions

Read this before you begin — When using your equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

  • Read all the instructions listed here and/or in the user manual before you operate this device. Give attention to all safety precautions. Retain the instructions for future reference.
  • This device must be installed and used in strict accordance with manufacturer's instructions, as described in the user documentation that is included with the device.
  • Comply with all warning and caution statements in the instructions. Observe all warning and caution symbols that are affixed to this device.
  • To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this device to rain or moisture. The device must not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the device.
  • This device was qualified under test conditions that included the use of the supplied cables between system components. To ensure regulatory and safety compliance, use only the provided power and interface cables and install them properly.
  • Different types of cord sets may be used for connections to the main POWER supply circuit. Use only a main line cord that complies with all applicable device safety requirements of the country of use.
  • Installation of this device must be in accordance with national wiring codes and conform to local regulations.
  • Operate this device only from the type of power source indicated on the device's marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
  • Do not overload outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard.
  • Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay attention to cords where they are attached to plugs and convenience receptacles; and examine the point where they exit from the device.
  • Place this device in a location that is close enough to an electrical outlet to accommodate the length of the power cord.
  • Place the device to allow for easy access when disconnecting the power cord of the device from the AC wall outlet.
  • Do not connect the plug into an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the plug can be fully inserted with no part of the blades exposed.
  • Place this device on a stable surface.
  • Avoid damaging the device 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 device when disconnecting or reconnecting the Ethernet cable from the device or user's PC.
  • Installation of an AC surge protector in the AC outlet to which this device is connected is recommended. This is to avoid damaging the device by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.
  • Postpone installation until there is no risk of thunderstorm or lightning activity in the area.
  • Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. For added protection, unplug the device from the wall outlet and disconnect the cables to avoid damage to this device from lightning and power surges.
  • Do not use this product near water. For example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool, or in a wet basement.
  • Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak located near the leak.
  • 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 device with a clean, dry cloth. Never use cleaning fluid or similar chemicals. Do not spray cleaners directly on the device or use forced air to remove dust.
  • For added protection, unplug the device from the wall outlet and disconnect the cables to avoid damage to this device during lightning activity or power surges.

    To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger (e.g., 24 AWG) UL Listed or CSA Certified Telecommunication Line Cord, or national equivalent.
  • Upon completion of any service or repairs to this device, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the device is in safe operating condition.
  • Do not open the device. Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the installation and troubleshooting instructions. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
  • This device should not be used in an environment that exceeds 104°F (40°C).

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Note: To CATV system installer — This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Section 820.93 of the National electric code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the coaxial cable shield must be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

You can set up your modem in one of the following ways.

  • Using the Surfboard Central app (SBC app): It is recommended that you install and set up your cable modem using the SBC app. For details on how to set up, refer to the SURFboard Central User Guide for Cable Modems available on the http://www.arris.com/selfhelp.
  • Using client device (laptop/desktop): If you are using your client device (laptop/Desktop) with a wired Ethernet connection, then see Connect the SB8200 to your computer.

Connect the SB8200 to your computer

Before installing your SB8200:

  • Check with your service provider to ensure broadband cable service is available in your area.
  • Choose a location in your home where your computer and cable modem are preferably near existing cable and electrical wall outlets.
