◆ Important Safety Warnings
"Installation" should include bonding the screen of the coaxial cable to the earth at the building
entrance per ANSI/NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC), in particular Section 820.93,
Grounding of Outer Conductive Shield of a Coaxial Cable.
◆ Installation
Follow the procedures below to install the hardware. Figure 0 illustrates the connection
relationship.
1. Connect one end of the coaxial cable (not included) to the CABLE port on the modem, and
connect the other end to the cable wall outlet. Be sure not to bend or over tighten the cables as
this may strain the connector and cause damage. If you plan to connect the modem and
television to the same wall outlet, you must use a cable line splitter (not included).
2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the ETHERNET port on the modem, and connect
the other end to the Ethernet port on the PC.
3. Connect one end of the Phone line cable to the VoIP port on the modem, and connect the
other end to the phone port of the phone set.
4. Connect one end of the DC power adapter to the POWER port on the modem, and connect
the other end to an electric outlet on the wall.
