Troubleshooting
1 The POWER light is not on when I turn on the P-870MH-
C1.
• You might be using the wrong power adaptor. Use the
included power adaptor only.
• If you are using the correct power adaptor, disconnect
and re-connect the power adaptor, and turn on the P870MH-C1 again.
• If the POWER light is still not on, use a different power
outlet. Make sure the power source is also turned on.

• If the problem continues, contact your local vendor.
2 The ALARM light is on.
• The ALARM light blinks once during system startup. If
the ALARM light stays on, the system startup test has
failed on your P-870MH-C1. Contact your local vendor.
3 The POWER light is on, and the ALARM light is off, but the
VDSL light is blinking slowly.
• Check the connection from the DSL port to the telephone jack.
• Connect the DSL port to a different telephone jack.
• Make sure VDSL service is activated for the telephone
jack.
• If the problem continues, contact your DSL service
provider.
4 The POWER light is on and the ALARM light is off, but the
ETHERNET light(s) is also off.
• The ETHERNET light is off if you have not connected a
computer to that port.
• Check the Ethernet connection between the ETHER-
NET port and computer.
• If the connection is secure, inspect the Ethernet cable
for damage.
• If the Ethernet cable does not appear to be damaged,
check the length of the cable. Ethernet cables must be
less than 100 meters.
