Step 1:

Connect a cable by feeding the F-connector on the back of the cable modem.

Ensure the center conductor of the 75 ohm coaxial cable is inserted directly into the center of the Fconnector. Secure the coaxial cable by carefully threading the outer shell of the coaxial cable connector onto the

F-connector in a clockwise direction until tight. Be careful not to over-tighten the connector or you may damage either the connector or the cable modem.

TEL1/TEL2 port on the cable modem and telephone socket on telephone.

Step 4: Connect the AC Adapter to the cable modem by inserting the barrel-shaped connector into the mating power connector on the back of the cable modem. Exercise carefully to ensure the connectors are properly aligned prior to insertion and ensure the two connectors engage completely. The cable modem is shipped with an AC adapter.
