Important Notes: 
 

 

In order to provide you with the best possible connectivity, your DSL circuit must "train" for at 
least 10 days when first activated. During this period you must leave the DSL modem plugged in, 
turned on and connected at all times. You do not need to leave your computer turned on during 
this period- just the DSL modem. For best results, please plug in your DSL modem and turn it on 
the day before your scheduled installation date, and leave it turned on for at least 10 days. 

 

 

Please follow all instructions carefully. Some computer or network configurations may cause 
software windows to appear that are not depicted in this guide. Please read and follow the 
instructions on those screens to continue the installation process. 

 

 

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) assumes no responsibility for any personal injury or property damage 
which may result from your installation of DSL Equipment as discussed in this Guide. Your ISP specifically 
disclaims any liability for such injury or damage. By proceeding with this installation, you assume all risk 
of personal injury or property damage. Please consult the documentation provided by your PC vendor to 
identify any impacts to your warranty.
