Wall Mounting Instructions
Complete these steps to mount the modem to the wall.

apart.
2 Are you mounting the cable modem into a drywall or concrete surface where a
wooden stud is not available?
 If yes, drive the anchor bolts into the wall and then go to step 3.
 If no, go to step 3.
3 Install the mounting screws into the wall or the anchor bolts, as appropriate, and
leave a gap of about 1/4-in. between the screw head and the wall.
4 Verify that no cables or wires are connected to the cable modem.
5 Lift the cable modem into position. Slip the large end of both mounting slots
(located on the back of the modem) over the mounting screws, and then slide the
modem down until the narrow end of the keyhole slot contacts the shaft of the
screw.
Important! Verify that the mounting screws securely support the modem before
you release the unit.
