Safety and regulatory instructions for your
Openreach modem and BT Home Hub
Please read this section carefully before set-up!
•
Your Hub and Openreach modem will get warm
once connected to the power supply. Although
this is normal, you should make sure that your

ventilation to prevent overheating. Never block
the vents on your Hub or Openreach modem.

to rain, water, moisture or direct sunshine.

The BT Home Hub intentionally generates
low-level radio frequency signals and so
there’s a very small risk that it may interfere
with sensitive medical devices, for example a
heart pacemaker, when nearby. If you’ve any
concerns, BT recommends that you consult
the medical device manufacturer before using
your BT Home Hub.

The plug on the power cable serves as a
disconnect device. Make sure that the power
socket you plug the power cable into is
easily accessible and located as close to the
equipment as possible.
Important
: please make sure you always use
the power cable supplied with your new Hub
– don’t use any other power cable.
* The minimum period will be either 12 or 18 months depending on the Option you chose when you placed your order.
