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 of the instructions listed here and/or in the user manual before you operate this

device. Give particular 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.

Chapter 1

 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 electrical 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.

Page 5

Chapter 1: Safety and regulatory information

 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 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 electrical 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.

 It is recommended that the customer install an electrical surge protector in the electrical

outlet to which this device is connected. 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.

 Do not use this product near water: for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink

or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

 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.

 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 THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS

Note to CATV System Installer — This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s

attention to Article 820.93 and 820.100 of the National Electric Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and specifies that the Coaxial cable shield shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the device and receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver

is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Chapter 1: Safety and regulatory information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by ARRIS for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

FCC radiation exposure statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the separation distance between the antenna and any person’s body (including hands, wrists, feet and ankles) must be at least 8 inches (20.3 centimeters).

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except those already approved in this filing.

The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the intended destinations. The firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.
