1 POWER—Illuminates solid green to indicate that AC power is being applied to
the cable modem. AC power must be available to recharge the battery.
2 RECEIVE DATA—Blinks to indicate that the cable modem is receiving data from
the cable network
3 SEND DATA— Blinks to indicate that the cable modem is sending data to the
cable network
4 CABLE—Illuminates solid green when the cable modem is registered on the
network and fully operational. This indicator blinks to indicate one of the following
conditions:
• The cable modem is booting up and not ready for data
• The cable modem is scanning the network and attempting to register
• The cable modem has lost registration on the network and will continue
blinking until it registers again
5 PC—Illuminates solid green to indicate that an Ethernet/USB carrier is present
and blinks to indicate that Ethernet/USB data is being transferred between the
PC and the cable modem
6 LINE 1—Illuminates solid green when telephone line 1 is in use
7 LINE 2—Illuminates solid green when telephone line 2 is in use
8 LOW BATTERY—Illuminates to indicate that approximately 20 percent of charge
is remaining in the battery.
9 REPLACE BATTERY—Illuminates to indicate that the battery could not be fully
charged. While the battery may be able to provide some backup power, it should
be replaced to restore maximum capacity.
Notes:
• After the cable modem is successfully registered on the network, the POWER
(LED 1) and CABLE (LED 4) LEDs illuminate continuously to indicate that the
cable mode is active and fully operational.
• LEDs may behave differently when the cable modem is running on battery power
(without AC power). Most LEDs are disabled if the unit is operating on battery
power. In this mode, the POWER and CABLE LEDs blink to indicate that the unit
is operating under battery power but AC power has failed.
