DSL Modem Needs 10 Days to Learn?

This evening we received the ATT home installation kit for DSL. This is intended to replace high-speed internet over cable, which has not worked as reliably as we hoped in our location.

Anyway, the DSL modem has a bright red sticker which reads:
ATTENTION
To maximize connection speed, leave this modem on for 10 days after DSL installation is complete.

Please note:
  • You can use your DSL service during this time
  • It is not necessary to leave your computer on, only the modem
Can someone explain what it is about DSL technology that requires 10 days of learning time for the modem???

Thank you.
