This Residential Gateway (RG) Battery Backup, once properly installed and used,
has been designed to maintain your AT&T U-verse Voice service in the event
of a short disruption to your commercial power service.
afety Information

tInternal battery voltage is 12V DC.
tIncorrect battery connection or replacement creates risk of explosion.
tThe RG Battery Backup is intended for installation and operation in
a controlled environment (temperature controlled, indoor area free of
conductive contaminants).
tNo user-serviceable parts exist inside the unit. Refer repair issues only
to qualified personnel. Fuses or other parts must be replaced ONLY with
parts of identical types and ratings. Substitution of non-identical parts
can cause fire and other safety hazards.

Voice service.
ntroduction
NOTE: Your AT&T U-verse Voice service, including 911 dialing, will not
function without electrical or battery-backup power. The RG Battery Backup
supplies power for your AT&T U-verse Voice service; it does not supply
power for cordless phones (and it does not supply power for your network
interface device or optical network terminal, typically located on the outside
of your home, which may also require battery-backup power for your
AT&T U-verse Voice service to function).
Therefore, in the event of a power outage, you should ensure you have one
corded single-line, touchtone phone connected directly to the AT&T U-verse
Residential Gateway or your in-home wiring and the AT&T U-verse
Residential Gateway connected to the RG Battery Backup. (Rotary/pulse
phones do not work with AT&T U-verse Voice service.) If you connect more
than one corded phone, it will use more power; if you connect a cordless phone,
it will not function without a separate battery backup, and not all cordless
phones are so equipped. If you have a monitored home alarm, you should never
plug a multi-line phone directly into the Residential Gateway—it could interfere
with the alarm signals. You should not connect the RG Battery Backup to
any device other than the AT&T U-verse Residential Gateway or use it with
any service other than your AT&T U-verse Voice service, and you should
always have an alternative means of dialing 911, such as via a cellular telephone.
ncorrect battery connection or replacement creates risk of explosion. Risk of
Energy Hazard, internal battery is 12VDC, 7.2 Ampere-hour. Before replacing
batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, and rings.
High energy through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
The RG Battery Backup is intended for installation and operation in a controlled
environment (temperature controlled, indoor area free of conductive contaminants).
The unit shall be installed near an easily accessible power outlet.
No user serviceable parts exist inside the unit. Refer repair issues only to qualified
personnel. Fuses or other parts must be replaced ONLY with parts of identical
types and ratings. Substitution of non-identical parts can cause fire and other
safety hazards.
A
ll batteries used are sealed lead acid batteries. Battery should be recycled. Do not
dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode. Do not open or mutilate
batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes. t may be toxic.

REV B
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement Subpart B
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can
radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

Installation
NOTE: Before installation, please inspect the RG Battery Backup. Make sure
that nothing inside the package is damaged. The RG Battery Backup must
be installed near the Residential Gateway and be easily accessible.
NOTE: It takes approximately 18 hours to charge a new and fully depleted
battery at normal indoor temperature. If a power outage occurs before
the battery is fully charged, the battery-backup time shown on page
11 will be reduced. Therefore, you should not rely on battery-backup
power for at least 18 hours after your RG Battery Backup is initially
installed or a replacement battery is thereafter installed. During these
periods especially, and at all other times in general, you should ensure
that you have an alternative means of dialing 911, such as via a cellular
telephone. Your AT&T U-verseSM Voice service, including 911 dialing, will
not function without electrical or battery-backup power.
STEP 2:
Connect to the Residential Gateway
Connect the DC plug on the RG Battery Backup into
the Residential Gateway.
STEP 3:
Turning on the RG Battery Backup
Turn the switch on the RG Battery Backup to the ON
position. The “On A/C” LED light should illuminate.
STEP 1:
Connect to AC Utility Power
Make sure that the power switch on the RG Battery
Backup is in the OFF position. Plug the A/C cord on
the RG Battery Backup directly into a wall outlet. Do
not connect the RG Battery Backup into a power strip
or surge protector.

The RG Battery Backup automatically conducts a self-test every 21 days.
Operation
NOTE: The-self test may not be available for use if the battery voltage is
low (including the recharging period following a power failure or during
"On Battery" mode). This is normal. Wait until the battery fully recharges
before initiating a self-test.
During the self-test, the RG Battery Backup briefly operates on
battery-backup power. The “Testing Battery” LED will flash for five
minutes during the test period. If the RG Battery Backup passes the
self-test, it returns to online operation. If the RG Battery Backup fails the
self-test, it immediately returns to online operation and lights the
“Replace Battery” LED. The loads are not affected. Recharge the battery
overnight and perform the self-test again. If the “Replace Battery” LED is
still on, the battery needs to be replaced.
(down and up), then ON and OFF (down and up) again within five seconds.

Replacement of the battery requires removing the battery door on the rear of
the device.
No tools are needed.
STEP 1:
Turn off power switch. Disconnect the RG Battery
Backup from power and any connected devices.
Remove the battery door on the rear of the RG Battery
Backup by pressing the tab on the top of the battery
door and pulling outward.
