documentation that is included with the device.
• Comply with all warning and caution statements in the instructions. Observe all warning and caution symbols that
are affixed to this device.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this device to rain or moisture. The device must not be exposed to
dripping or splashing. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the device.
• This device was qualified under test conditions that included the use of the supplied cables between system
components. To ensure regulatory and safety compliance, use only the provided power and interface cables and
install them properly.
• Different types of cord sets may be used for connections to the main power supply circuit. Use only a main line cord
that complies with all applicable device safety requirements of the country of use.
• Installation of this device must be in accordance with national wiring codes and conform to local regulations.
• Operate this device only from the type of power source indicated on the device’s marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
• Do not overload outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets,
extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may
result in a shock or fire hazard.
• Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them. Pay particular attention to cords where they are attached to plugs and convenience receptacles, and examine
the point where they exit from the device.
• Place this device in a location that is close enough to an electrical outlet to accommodate the length of the power
cord.
• Place the device to allow for easy access when disconnecting the power cord of the device from the AC wall outlet.
• Do not connect the plug into an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the plug can be fully inserted with
no part of the blades exposed.
• Place this device on a stable surface.
• Avoid damaging the cable modem with static by touching the coaxial cable when it is attached to the
earth-grounded coaxial cable-TV wall outlet.
• Always first touch the coaxial cable connector on the cable modem when disconnecting or reconnecting the Ethernet
cable from the cable modem or user’s PC.
• It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge protector in the AC outlet to which this device is connected.
This is to avoid damaging the device by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.
• Postpone installation until there is no risk of thunderstorm or lightning activity in the area.
• Do not cover the device or block the airflow to the device with any other objects. Keep the device away from
excessive heat and humidity and keep the device free from vibration and dust.
• Wipe the device with a clean, dry cloth. Never use cleaning fluid or similar chemicals. Do not spray cleaners directly
on the device or use forced air to remove dust.
• Upon completion of any service or repairs to this device, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the device is in safe operating condition.
• Do not open the device. Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the installation and
troubleshooting instructions. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• This device should not be used in an environment that exceeds 40º C.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Note to CATV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section
820.93 of the National Electric Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that
the coaxial cable shield shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry
as practical.

FCC STATEMENTS
FCC Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the device and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
FCC CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Use of the 5150-5250 MHz frequency band is restricted to indoor use only.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To comply with
the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the separation distance between the antenna and any person’s body
(including hands, wrists, feet, and ankles) must be at least 20 cm (8 inches).
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter except those
already approved in the FCC filing.
The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country dependent and are firmware
programmed at the factory to match the intended destinations. The firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.
INDUSTRY CANADA (IC) STATEMENT
This device complies with RSS-210 of the Industry Canada Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause interference, and
• This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
In Canada, RLAN devices are restricted from using the 5600-5650 MHz frequency band.
CAUTION: To reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems, use of the 5150-
5250 MHz frequency band is restricted to indoor use only.
High power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) in the 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850
MHz frequency bands. These radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
IC Radiation Exposure Statement
IMPORTANT NOTE: This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) between
the radiator and your body.
