Ensure that they are far from the electric appliances such as mcordless telephones that generate strong magnetic or electric fields. If the problem persists, contact your service provider. After a broadband terminal is installed, does Internet access degrade call quality or do telephone calls lower the Internet access rate? No. The terminal uses the frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and splitter the two types of ied by different technologies to separate voice signals from data signals. Although signals are transmitted through one telephone line, they are carrfrequency bands. Therefore, they do not interfere with each other. In this case, you can make a telephone call and access the Internet at the same time, without degrading call quality or lowering the Internet access rate. How can I quickly restore the default settings of the terminal? To restore the default settings of the terminal, power on the terminal, press and hold the RESET button for a while, and then release the RESET button. 13
