If you are replacing an existing modem that has a security sleeve on the coaxial cable, please follow these
instructions about using the unlocking tool in order to disconnect the coaxial cable from the modem. If your
modem allows you to unscrew the coaxial cable by hand, you do not need to use the unlocking tool.
For homes that have an alarm system connected via phone or Internet connection, we recommend that you
notify the alarm company prior to disconnecting your modem in order to avoid any false alarms.
