How Do I Maintain the Battery?

Your modem includes a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery to provide stand-by operation in the event of an AC

power failure. You can replace the battery without the use of any tools.

Charging the Battery

The battery begins to charge automatically as soon as you attach the modem to

the 15 V DC power source. When you first plug in the modem, the POWER LED

status indicator illuminates.

Note: It may take as long as 10 hours for the battery to charge fully.

Using the Modem Without a Battery

If you want, you can use the modem without a battery. If you need to remove the

battery, follow the procedures found in Removing and Replacing the Battery,

later in this section.

Important: If you choose to operate your modem without a battery, you risk

losing your telephone service during a power outage.

Replacing the Battery

Under normal circumstances, the battery should last for several years. The

REPLACE BATTERY LED status indicator illuminates to indicate that the battery

should be replaced soon. Contact your service provide to obtain a replacement

battery and for disposal instructions.

Note: Follow the steps found in Removing and Replacing the Battery, later in this

section, to remove and replace the battery.
