Important Rules for Safe Operation
In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of your Toshiba DOCSIS Cable Modem, safety is a major factor in the design of every product. However, safety is your responsibility, too.
This section lists important information that will help assure your enjoyment and proper use of the Cable
Modem and accessory equipment. Please read them carefully before operating and using your modem.
Installation
Read and Follow Instructions - You should read all the safety and operating instructions before operating the modem. Follow all operating instructions.
Retain Instructions - You should save all the safety and operating instructions, for
your future reference.
Heed Warnings - Comply with all warnings on the products and in the operating
instructions.
Check Power Sources - Operate this product only from the type of power source indicated on the product's marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
Be Careful of Overloading - Do not overload wall 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. Periodically examine the cord, and, if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.
Protect Power Cords - Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them.
Pay particular attention to cords where they are attached to plugs and convenience receptacles, and examine the point where they exit from the product.
Check Ventilation - Slots and openings in the enclosure are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. Do not block or cover these openings. Never block these openings by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Never place this product near or over a radiator or heat register, or any other heat source (including amplifiers). Do not place this product in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or equipment rack, unless you provide proper ventilation.
Do Not Use Accessories - Do not use attachments, unless they are recommended by Toshiba, as they may cause electrical or fire hazards.
Use the Recommended AC Adaptor - You must use the Adaptor that comes with
your Toshiba Cable Modem.

Do Not Use Near Water - Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bath tub, sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, and the like.
Do Not Place Near High Temperature Source - for example near a steamer, Kitchen
range fire, and the like.
Use Caution in Mounting This Product - Do not place this product on an unstable surface or support. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, as well as serious damage to the product.
Use Care in Moving Product-and-Cart Combinations - Quick stops, excessive, force and uneven surfaces may cause the product-and-cart combination to overturn.
Ground the Cable Systems – Be sure that the outside cable system is grounded, so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the national Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 (Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) provides information with respect to proper grounding of the cable systems.
Do not disconnect RF cable from your Cable Modem while the power to your modem is on.
U S E
Unplug Power Before Cleaning - Do not use liquid cleaner or aerosol cleaner. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
Keep Objects Out of Openings - Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage or "short-out" parts, which could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid on the product.
Protect From Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet, and disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power line surges.
Take at least 10 seconds between AC plug off and on.
