ImPORTANT ReCePTION INFORmATION
The cable we have installed in your home is approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC),
and is safe and reliable for carrying cable TV signals. Here are a few tips to keep it that way:
1. During severe electrical storms, you should unplug your TV set and cable box to avoid damage. Comcast
and the set manufacturer are not responsible for damage that occurs due to acts of nature.
2. Your cable box operates on 110 volts, so take all the precautions you would for any small appliance —
such as checking to see that the cord is not worn or damaged.
3. For your own safety, do not attempt to open or otherwise tamper with your cable box.
4. If you have someone other than Comcast install the inside wiring in your home, or if you do it yourself,
ensure that it complies with applicable governmental regulations (such as the FCC signal-leakage rules)
and does not interfere with the normal operations of the cable system and other communications systems
(such as radio used by the police and fire departments) and devices.
5. If your TV has no picture or sound, make sure it is plugged into a live electrical outlet and not controlled
by a wall switch.

We have provided diagrams of three common wiring configuration options for hooking up your TV, set-top
cable box and other A/V equipment such as a VCR, DVD player or stereo receiver. If there is not a diagram
that resembles your equipment check your owner's manuals or go to comcast.com and search: Wiring
