Items You Need
If you are installing the Telephony Modem yourself, make sure you have the follow-
ing items on hand before continuing:
•Telephony modem package: see What’s in the Box? for a list of items in
the package.
•
Phone Cable
Coax Cable
Coaxial cable (coax): as shown in the image to the left, this is a thin cable
with a connector on each end. It is the same kind of wire used to connect
to your television for cable TV. You can buy coax from any electronics retailer
and many discount stores; make sure it has connectors on both ends. There
are two types of connectors, slip-on and screw-on; the screw-on connectors
are best for use with your Telephony Modem. The coax should be long
enough to reach from your Telephony Modem to the nearest cable outlet.
•Phone Cable: as shown in the image to the left, this is a standard phone
cable with standard phone connectors (RJ11 type) on both ends. You can
buy phone cables from any electronics retailer and many discount stores.
•Splitter (optional): provides an extra cable connection by splitting a single
outlet into two. You may need a splitter if you have a TV already connected
to the cable outlet that you want to use. You can buy a splitter from any
electronics retailer and most discount stores; you may also need a short
piece of coax cable (with connectors); use it to connect the splitter to the
cable outlet and then connect the Telephony Modem and TV to the splitter.
Note: A splitter effectively cuts the signal in half and sends each half to its
two outputs. Using several splitters in a line may deteriorate the quality of
your television, telephone, and/or internet connection.
•Information packet: your cable company should furnish you with a packet
containing information about your service and how to set it up. Read this
information carefully and contact your cable company if you have any ques-
tions.

What about Security?
Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet requires a certain
amount of responsibility to other Internet users—including the need to maintain a
reasonably secure system. While no system is 100% secure, you can use the fol-
lowing tips to enhance your system’s security:
• Keep your operating system updated with the latest security patches. Run
the system update utility at least weekly.
• Keep your email program updated with the latest security patches. In addi-
tion, avoid opening email containing attachments, or opening files sent
through chat rooms, whenever possible.
• Install a virus checker and keep it updated.
• Avoid providing web or file-sharing services over your Telephony Modem.
Besides certain vulnerability problems, most cable companies prohibit run-
ning servers on consumer-level accounts and may suspend your account for
violating your terms of service.
• Use the cable company’s mail servers for sending email.
•Avoid using proxy software unless you are certain that it is not open for
abuse by other Internet users (some are shipped open by default). Crimi-
nals can take advantage of open proxies to hide their identity when breaking
into other computers or sending spam. If you have an open proxy, your ca-
ble company may suspend your account to protect the rest of the network.
• If you connect your Telephony Modem to a wireless LAN, make sure you en-
able security and encryption on the wireless hub (for the same reasons that
you should run only secured proxies). Consult the documentation and tech-
nical support of the wireless equipment provider for help.

Charge Handset Battery
After battery installation, there may be enough power for some short calls. For
optimal performance, we recommend that you place the handset in the charger and
allow the battery to charge for 16 hours before use. The CHARGE light on the
handset charger will be lit to indicate that the handset is charging. You can keep
the battery charged by returning the handset to the charger after each use. When
the battery power is completely depleted, a full recharge takes about 16 hours. If
the handset will not be used for a long period, remove the battery to prevent
possible leakage.
After the battery is fully charged, you can expect the following performance:
Operation Operating time
While in use (handset/headset) 7 hours
While in use (Speakerphone) 5 hours
While in use (Internet browsing) 3 hours
While not in use (standby*) 100 hours#
* Handset is off the charger but not in use.
# The operation time in standby mode decreases to approximately 50 hours if the keypad is blinking to indicate you
have new voicemail.
The battery needs charging when:
• A new battery is installed in the handset.
• The battery indicator on the handset display is flashing and empty.

Indicator Lights for the DTM602G Models
The Touchstone Telephony Modem has eleven indicator lights to assist in troubleshooting.
Battery Mismatch
If the Telephony Modem alternates flashing the Battery light and all other lights, the installed bat-
tery is incompatible with the Telephony Modem. Remove the battery and install one of the batteries
described in Battery Installation and Replacement.
Wiring Problems
If the Telephony Modem flashes all its lights for more than 10 seconds, this indicates a problem with
the telephone wiring — the red and green wires may be shorted (touching), or there may be unde-
sired voltage on the lines. If this pattern persists for more than 10 seconds, disconnect the tele-
phone lines from the Telephony Modem, then call a wiring technician for assistance.
Indicator Lights: Normal Operation

Operating Range of the DECT Handset
The DECT handset operates at the maximum power level allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). The operating range can vary based on the
location of the Telephony Modem and handset, weather conditions, and the layout
of your home or office.
When the handset is out of range, it displays Searching. You can access the
handset directory, and certain parts of the menu system such as handset settings
and registration, but not the time or base settings. The handset displays Not
possible if you try to access disabled functions.
When the handset is out of range, it may not recognize an incoming call; if it rings,
the connection may be noisy or drop. Moving out of range during an active call may
also result in noise or dropping the call. To improve reception, move closer to the
base.
Maintenance of Cordless Handset
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must be
treated with care. Save the original packing materials to protect your telephone if
you ever need to ship it to a repair center.
Avoid Rough Treatment
Place the handset down gently. Avoid dropping the handset or leaving it where it
could be damaged.
Avoid Water
Your handset can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the handset outdoors in the
rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install the Telephony Modem or handset
near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when you are
wet or standing in water. If your telephone base should fall into water, do not
retrieve it until you unplug the power cord and telephone line cords from
the wall. Then pull the unit out of the water by the unplugged cords.

Electrical Storms
Electrical storms can cause power surges harmful to electronic equipment. For your
own safety, use caution when using the handset or other electric appliances during
storms.
Cleaning Your Telephone
Clean the handset only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild
soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Cordless Telephone Considerations
The same features that make a cordless telephone convenient create some
limitations.
Privacy: Telephone calls are transmitted between the base and the cordless
handset by radio waves, so there is a possibility that your conversations could be
intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range of the cordless handset. For
this reason, you should not think of cordless telephone conversations as being as
private as those on corded telephones.
Electrical Power: The Telephony Modem and handset base must be connected to
a working electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall
switch. Frequent loss of power to the Telephony Modem reduces backup battery
life.
Potential TV Interference: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to televisions and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, do not place the Telephony Modem or the handset near or on top of a
TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, move the handset or Telephony Modem
farther away from the TV or VCR to reduce or eliminate the interference.
Rechargeable Batteries: The Telephony Modem contains a Lithium-Ion
rechargeable battery. The handset contains a Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable
battery. Exercise care in handling batteries to avoid shorting the battery with
conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause harm. Observe proper polarity between the battery and
the battery charger.
Recycle all batteries. Do not burn or puncture. Any battery, if burned or punctured,
could release caustic material which can cause injury.

Troubleshooting
Problems and Solutions
The Telephony modem is plugged in, but the Power light is off.
Check all power connections. Is the power cord plugged in firmly at both
ends?
If you plugged the power cord into a power strip, make sure the strip is
switched on.
Avoid using an outlet controlled by a wall switch, if possible.
Check the outlet by plugging in another device (such as a lamp).
Finally, check the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
I’m not getting on the Internet.
It may take over 30 minutes to establish a connection the first time you
power up your Telephony Modem, especially when many people are online.
Always leave your Telephony Modem plugged into AC power and connected
to the cable system.
Check the front panel lights:
•The Power and Online lights should be on.
•The Link light should be either on or blinking.
•If the Power light blinks for more than 30 minutes, call your cable
company for assistance.
Check your cable connections. Connectors should be finger-tight. The
coax cable should not be pinched, kinked, or bent sharply—any of these can
cause a break or short in the cable (you may have to replace the cable). If
you have one or more splitters between the Telephony Modem and CATV
outlet, remove the splitters and connect the Telephony Modem directly to
the outlet.
Proceed to the Configuring Your Ethernet Connection if necessary.

I’m not getting on the Internet.
If you are using a hub, is the hub turned on?
Are you using the right type of Ethernet Cable? Use the supplied cable for
direct connection to a computer; use a cross-over cable for connection to a
hub or home router.
Press the Reset button on the back of the Telephony Modem.
I can get on the Internet, but everything is slow.
If the Web site you are visiting is very popular, that site may be having trou-
ble servicing all the requests. If other sites download quickly, wait for a few
minutes and try again. Usage during peak hours may also affect the con-
nection speed.
If your Telephony Modem is connected to a LAN (Local Area Network), either
directly or through a firewall, other communications on the LAN may slow
down your connection.
To test your network speed, try an online test such as
http://reviews.cnet.com/Bandwidth_meter/7004-7254_7-0.html
I have two computers connected to the Telephony Modem, but only one
can get on the Internet.
Check your cable company’s terms of service: they may allow only one com-
puter to connect directly to the Telephony Modem.
I don’t have dial tone when I pick up my phone, why?
In order for telephone service to be functional on the Telephony Modem,
telephone service must have been purchased from the service provider and
configured on your Telephony Modem. The following steps should help in
identifying the source of the problem.
• Is the Power LED lit?
– If not, check to make sure the Telephony Modem is plugged in and
the outlet has power.
– If the LED is lit, go to the next step.
• Is the handset properly installed and fully charged?

• Is the handset within range of the Telephony Modem? Move close to the
Telephony Modem and try again.
• Is the Online LED lit?
– If not, check the coax connection at the Telephony Modem and the
wall. Ensure they are connected and tight. If they are and you do not
have dial tone, contact your service provider.
– If the Online LED is lit, go to the next step.
• Is the Telephone (Telephone 1 or Telephone 2) LED lit?
– If not, phone service has not been provisioned on that line. Contact
your service provider.
– If it is blinking, there is a phone off hook somewhere in the house.
Find that phone and hang it up.
– If it is lit, go to the next step
• If you are using an external phone, is the phone plugged directly into the
Telephony Modem?
– Make sure the phone is plugged into the port on the back of the Te-
lephony Modem labeled “Tel 1/2” (DTM602G).
– If so, try a different phone. Make sure the new phone is a working
phone.
– If a known good phone is used and you still don’t have dial tone, try
a different phone cable. If a new phone and cable do not restore dial
tone, call your service provider.
• Is the Telephony Modem plugged into a wall outlet?
– If so, unplug the RJ-11 connector at the back of the Telephony Port
and plug in a known working phone. If you now have dial tone, the
problem is with the house wiring. Contact your MSO or a qualified
wiring technician to correct the house wiring. If you still do not have
dial tone, contact your service provider.
