Safety Precautions 

These precautions help protect you and your cable modem. 

 

Do not put the cable modem or its power cube 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 cube and a compatible 

electrical outlet.  

 

Attachment to earth ground is typically provided through your cable 
service provider's installation.
