What's In the Carton?
When you receive your cable modem, you should check the equipment and
accessories to verify that each item is in the carton and that each item is undamaged.
The carton contains the following items:
One DPC3208 or EPC3208 DOCSIS
Cable Modem
One AC power adapter with power
cord (Image may vary from actual
product. May not be provided with all
products.)
One Ethernet cable (May not be
provided with all products.)
One CD-ROM containing the user
guide
One Lithium Ion cartridge battery
(May not be provided with all
products.)
If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact your service provider
for assistance.
Notes:
You need an optional cable signal splitter and additional standard RF coaxial
cables if you want to connect a VCR, a Digital Home Communications Terminal
(DHCT) or a set-top converter, or a TV to the same cable connection as your
cable modem.
If your product supports telephone service, cables and other equipment needed
for telephone service must be purchased separately. Contact your service
provider to inquire about the equipment and cables you need for telephone
service.
