Connecting the modem power cord
The HT2000W power cord connector uses a locking mechanism to ensure it stays
snugly connected to the modem. Make sure the connector is oriented correctly
when plugging it into the DC IN port;
the flat side of the plug should face the
modem’s side panel nearest to the port .
Figure 3 explains how to correctly orient the power cord connector. When
connecting the power cord, you
must
push the connector into the DC IN port until it
clicks. This indicates the power cord is locked into the modem.

Disconnecting the modem power cord
The power cord connector has a hard plastic sleeve (marked with two arrows) that
you must slide backward when removing the cord from the modem. Sliding the
sleeve backward disengages the connector’s locking mechanism. See Figure 4 .
