FAQs

What can I do if I cannot visit Web sites through the terminal?

Step 1

Check whether the POWER indicator of the terminal is on.

If the POWER indicator is off, perform further checks as follows:

Ensure that the power switch of the terminal is turned on.

Ensure that electricity comes from the socket and that the input power

of the socket meets the requirements described on the label of the

terminal power adapter. If the voltage is unsteady, for example, if the

voltage is too high or too low, do not use the terminal. Wait until the

voltage restores to its normal level, and then use the terminal.

Ensure that the terminal is properly connected to the socket through the

power adapter.

If the POWER indicator is still off, contact an authorized maintenance center.

Step 2

After powering on the terminal, wait for about three minutes. Then check

whether the ADSL indicator of the terminal is on.

If the ADSL indicator blinks for a long time, perform further checks as follows:

Ensure that telephone lines are properly connected. Pay special

attention to the connection between the telephone line and splitter.

Ensure that terminal cables or telephone lines are far from the electric

appliances that generate strong magnetic or electric fields.

Replace telephone lines.

If the ADSL indicator still blinks, contact your network operator.

Step 3

Check whether the LAN indicator of the terminal is on.
