Safety Precautions
These precautions help protect you and your cable modem.
Do not put the cable modem or its power adapter in water, since this is a
shock hazard.
The cable modem should normally be installed indoors. If you use it
outdoors, protect it from moisture and be careful about temperature.
Your cable modem should be operated in an environment that’s between
32 and 104° Fahrenheit (0 to 40° Centigrade).
Your cable modem should not be in a confined space. There should be
room for air flow around the top, front, and sides of the cable modem.
Make sure to use your cable modem’s power adapter and a compatible
electrical outlet.
The coaxial cable's ground shield is intended to be connected to the
