  1. Locate the Cable: Find the yellow-and-green fiber cable attached to your ONT.
  2. Unplug Safely: Pinch the sides of the plug head and pull. Do not tug on the cord to unplug from the wall-plate the ONT as this may damage the equipment. There may be a small amount of resistance as you remove the plug from the ONT.
  3. Secure the Cord: Leave the other end plugged into the wall plate and gently wrap it around the plate.
