•
Avoid damaging the device 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 device when disconnecting or reconnecting the Ethernet cable from the device 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.

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 ARRIS for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
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 this 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.
CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3 (B)
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) of 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz frequency bands. These radars
could cause interference and/or damage to License Exempt–Local Area Network (LE-LAN) devices.
