Videotron’s Home Phone service

Are you subscribed to Videotron’s Home Phone service?
Is there an alarm control panel linked to your Home Phone line?
Leave the telephone modem and telephone plugged in.
Do you have one or two coaxial outlets?
If you only have one coaxial outlet, you must use a splitter in order to maintain your Videotron Home Phone service.

Tips:

Reboot your telephone modem (MTA) after the installation.
If you can’t disconnect your equipment because of a security socket, use the security socket remover.
If there is no security socket, unscrew the cable by hand or use the security socket remover (counter-clockwise).

Security socket removal tool

If there is a security socket (sleeve) preventing you from unscrewing the coaxial cable or removing your equipment, use the socket remover.

a. Locate the devices that have a security socket.
b. Insert the socket remover as far as possible into the security socket. Turn counter-clockwise.
c. Remove the security socket and coaxial cable from the device. If there is a filter in the socket, remove it using the socket remover.

Tips:

Security socket and filter: they can be put in the recycling bin.
Security socket remover: bring it back to store when you bring your old devices in and it will get recycled.

Eco-friendly tips
