If you are replacing an existing modem that has a security sleeve on the coaxial cable, please follow these
instructions for using the unlocking tool 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 through your phone or Internet connection, we recommend
you notify the alarm company prior to disconnecting your modem to avoid any false alarms.
