Introduction

Your service provider may include a backup battery with your SBV3202. If you wish, you can

purchase an additional battery at shop.surfboard.com. The website will list the

recommended battery type for your SBV3202.

The SBV3202 supports a Lithium-Ion backup battery to provide continued telephone service

during power outages. The battery backup is not intended to take the place of AC power.

power outage. LED operation is reduced when the SBV3202 is operating on battery power.
