must not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not place objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, on the device.
•Do not place this product on an unstable surface, such as a table, shelf, or stand. The
product may fall, causing serious damage.
•This device was qualified under test conditions that included the use of the supplied
cables between systems 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 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.
v — SBV5422 SURFboard Digital Voice Modem
•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.
•Only put the handset of your telephone next to your ear when it is in normal talk mode.
•Postpone installation until there is no risk of thunderstorm or lightning activity in the area.
•Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There
may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. For added protection for this device
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power surges.
•Do not use this product near water for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink
or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
•Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual. Do not dispose of
batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal
instructions.
•Disconnect the TNV circuit connector before removing the cover.
•Disconnect TNV circuit connector(s) before disconnecting power.
•Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
•CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger UL listed or CSA
certified telecommunication line cord, or national equivalent.
•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.

Selecting a Location for Your Handset
Connecting the Handset Charger and Charging the Handset Battery
1. Insert the power cord into the bottom of the charger.
2. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
3. Place the base on a sturdy surface.
The handset charger does not require a phone line.
To charge the battery, place the handset in the charger’s
handset cradle. The initial battery charge time is 10-12
hours. After the initial charge, a maintenance charge of
eight hours should be sufficient. Be sure to place the
handset in its charger when not in use to insure maximum
daily performance.
If your handset displays a message or
the handset appears inactive, (the LCD is blank and does not
activate when you press the keys), charge the handset.

Wall Mounting the SBV5422
If you mount your SBV5422 on the wall, you must:
•Locate the unit as specified by the local or national codes governing residential or
business cable TV and communications services.
•Follow all local standards for installing a network interface unit/network interface device
(NIU/NID).
When using the wall mount on drywall or similar material, use anchors for added stability.
To mount your SBV5422 on the wall:
1If present, remove the four rubber chassis feet on the bottom of the SBV5422.
2Print the “Wall Mounting TemplateSBV5422” on page 16 at 100% scale. Measure the
printed template with a ruler to ensure that it is the correct size as indicated on the
template.
3Use a center punch to mark the center of the holes.
4On the wall, locate the marks for the mounting holes.
5See step 7 for recommended mounting hardware size. Drill holes to a depth and
diameter appropriate for the size and type of hardware you have selected.
6If necessary, install an anchor in each hole.
Use M4 x 38 mm (#8 x 1 1/2 inch) screws with a flat underside and maximum screw
head diameter of 9.0 mm (0.35 inches) to mount the SBV5422.
Screw in each screw until the head protrudes from the wall, as shown below:
— There must be at least 2.5 mm (.10 inches) between the wall and the underside of the
screw head.
Note: The image shown above demonstrates mounting the SBV5422 onto a wood surface.
7Place the SBV5422 so the keyholes are above the mounting screws.
8Slide the SBV5422 down so it stops against the top of the keyhole opening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q What is high-speed cable Internet access?
A Cable Internet access uses cable television wires instead of telephone lines to connect to the Internet. It is
extremely fast and affordable and does not tie up telephone lines for incoming or outgoing calls and faxes.
Q What is Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP)?
A VoIP uses cable television wires instead of traditional telephone lines to provide voice and fax service.
Q How fast is a SBV5422?
A A cable modem offers Internet access at speeds up to 100 times faster than a traditional phone modem.
Network conditions, such as traffic volume and the speed of the sites you visit, can affect download speeds.
Q Can I still watch cable TV while using my SBV5422?
A Yes, your cable TV line can carry the TV signal while you surf the Internet and talk on the phone.
Q If I have a SBV5422, can I still use my old 28.8 Kbps or 56 Kbps modem?
A Yes! Although once you’ve experienced the speed of cable Internet access, you’ll never again want to wait for
traditional dial-up services.
Q I have more than one computer. Do I need more than one SBV5422?
A No, not if your computers are connected on a network. The SBV5422 supports current Internet connection
sharing technologies to enable you to connect up to 31 computers to the Internet using a single SBV5422.
18 — SBV5422 SURFboard Digital Voice Modem
Q Do I need to change my Internet service provider (ISP)?
A A broadband connection is required for high-speed Internet access and VoIP telephone service available with
your SBV5422. Contact your cable company for your specific information.
Q Do I need to subscribe to cable TV to get cable Internet access?
A No, but you will need to subscribe to cable Internet service. Some systems require that you subscribe to basic
service before you can get Internet access and/or offer a discount when you use your own SBV5422. Check
with your local cable company for specific information.
Q What technical support is available?
A For questions about your Internet service, connection, or SBV5422, contact your cable provider.
Q What do I do if my SBV5422 stops working?
A Use the information in this section to diagnose and resolve simple problems. If you continue to have
problems, contact your cable provider or Motorola as described on the previous page.
