then refer to the symptoms and actions outlined below:
SYMPTOM: Power LED is Off
ACTION:
Check connections between the Gateway, the external power supply, and the wall outlet.

problem with the power outlet, power cord, or external power supply.
If the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power
losses, or surges at the power outlet.

this case, contact your cable operator for assistance.
