Safety and Regulatory Information
IMPORT ANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - when using your telephone 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.
• 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 systems
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 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 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.
• 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.
• It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge protector in the AC 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.
• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning. For added protection for this device 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 surges.
• 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.
• Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

can cause leakage, heat, smoke, explosion, or fire resulting in damage to the equipment or the user.
• Use the SBV5222 battery only in the SBV5222 Digital Voice Modem.
• CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by the incorrect type. Use only Motorola approved
batteries, Motorola part number 515757-001 and 538043-001. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.
• Do not use the battery where static electricity is generated.
• Do not heat the battery or discard into a fire. Keep the battery away from high-temperature locations.
• Properly discard the battery if it exhibits an abnormal condition, such as heat, odor, color, or a change in
shape. When discarding, place insulated tape over the battery terminals.
• The battery should be stored out of the reach of children.
• Do not store the battery close to metal objects.
• If the battery leaks fluid and you touch it, immediately wash your hands. If the fluid gets into your eye, do not
rub the eye. Rinse with water and immediately seek medical care. Left untreated, the battery fluid could cause
damage to the eye.
• Ensure that the battery does not receive any strong impacts, such as dropping or striking with a hard object.
• At the end of battery life, the SBV5222 battery must be disposed of properly and may need to be recycled.

or business to the Internet. You can connect:
• A single computer equipped with a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port directly to the USB port on the
SURFboard Digital Voice Modem
• A single computer equipped with an Ethernet adapter directly to the Ethernet port on the SURFboard Digital
Voice Modem
• Two computers, one to the USB port and one to the Ethernet port
• Up to 31 computers to a single SURFboard Digital Voice Modem using an Ethernet hub, as shown in “Cabling
for Multiple Users” on page 27
For easiest set-up, use the Installation Assistant on the SURFboard Voice Modem CD-ROM.
SBV5222 VoIP Telephone Service
The SBV5222 also provides telephone service through your cable connection with the same features as your
traditional phone service, including standby power with an integrated battery backup in the event that you lose AC
power. You can connect up to two standard telephone lines using your SURFboard Digital Voice Modem,
supporting:

coaxial cables to connect both the TV and the digital voice modem. The coaxial cable and RF splitter are available
at consumer electronics stores. To connect your digital voice modem to an Ethernet hub, see the network
description in “Cabling for Multiple Users” on page 27. Check the documentation provided with your hub.
Caution
This product is for indoor use only. Do not route the USB, Ethernet, or telephone cables outside of the
building. Exposure of the cables to lightning could create a safety hazard and damage the product.
