Wall-mounting instructions
Note: When mounting the Cable Modem on drywall, try to position the Cable
Modem so at least one of the screws is fastened to a stud. This may pre-
vent the Cable Modem from pulling out of the wall in the future. To pre-
vent overheating of the Cable Modem, do not block the ventilation holes
on the sides of the unit.
Step 2
1 Position the mounting template on the surface where you intend to mount
the Cable Modem and secure in place with transparent tape.
2 Drill holes through the template in the specified locations for the mounting
screws. After drilling holes, remove the template from the surface.
3 If using drywall anchors, set them into the wall. Then, drive the screws into
the wall leaving a gap of about 1/8" (3 mm) between the screw head and
the wall. If not using anchors, just drive the screws.
4 Orient the Cable Modem with the indicator lights facing up or right, as de-
Step 4 sired. Slip both mounting slots (in the back of the Cable Modem) over the
screws, then slide the case down until the narrow end of the keyhole slot
contacts the screw shaft.
5 Proceed to
