 Internal batt ery voltage is 12V DC .
 Incorr ect battery connection or r eplacement cr eates risk of explosion.
 The RG Battery Backup is intended for installation and operation in a
contr olled envir onment (temperatur e contr olled, indoor ar ea fr ee of
conductive contaminants).
 No user -serviceable parts exist inside the unit. Refer repair issues only to
qualified personnel. Fuses or other parts must be r eplaced ONLY with
parts
of identical types and ratings. Substitution of non-identical parts
can
cause fir e and other safety hazar ds.

All batteries used ar e sealed lead batteries. Batteries should be r ecycled.
The RG Battery Backup shall be installed near an easily accessible power
outlet.
Intr oduction
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.
Saf ety Inf ormation
CAUTION
Sys tem Requirements
The RG Battery Backup is designed for use with the A T&T U-verse Residential
Gateway and you
r AT&T U-verse Voice service.
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.

Ins tallation
NOTE: Befor e installation, please inspect the RG Battery Backup. Make su
r
e
that nothing inside the package is damaged. The RG Battery Backup must
be installed near the Residential Gateway and be easily accessible.
STEP 1:
Connect to AC Utility Power
Make sur e that the power switch on the RG Battery
Backup is in the OFF position. Plug the A/C cor d on
the
RG Battery Backup directly into a wall outlet.
Do not connect the RG Battery Backup into a power
strip or surge protector.
STEP 2:
Connect to the Residential Gateway
Connect the DC plug on the RG Battery Backup into
the Residential Gateway .
STEP 3:
T ur ning on the RG Battery Backup
T urn the switch on the RG Batter y Backup to the ON
positio n . The “On A/C” LED light shoul d illuminate.
NOTE: It takes appr oximately 18 hours to charge a new and fully depleted
battery at normal indoor temperatur e. If a power outage occurs befor e
the battery is fully charged, the battery-backup time shown on page
11 will be r educed. Ther efor e, you should not r ely on battery-backup
power
for at least 18 hours after your RG Battery Backup is initially
installed or a r eplacement battery is ther eafter installed. During these
periods especially , and at all other times in general, you should ensur e
that you have an alter native means of dialing 911, such as via a cellular
telephone. Y our A T&T U-verse V oice service, including 911 dialing,
will not function without electrical or battery-backup power .

Use the self-test to verify both the operation of the RG Battery Backup
and the condition of the battery . Turn the mute switch ON and OFF
(down and up), then ON and OFF (down and up) again within five seconds.
The RG Battery Backup automatically conducts a sel
f
-test every 21 days.
NOTE: During the sel
f
-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 normal operation on A/C, and the green “On A/C”
LED light is lit.
If the green “Testing Battery” LED does not flash when the self-test is
conducted, it is likely that the battery voltage is low. This could
happen immediately following installation, during the recharging period
following a power failure, or during “On Battery” mode. This is
normal. Wait until the battery fully recharges (18 hours) before re-
initiating the self-test.
If the RG Battery Backup fails the self-test, it immediately returns to
normal operation on A/C and lights the “Replace Battery” LED. The
operation of the RG is not affected. Fully recharge the battery (18
hours) and perform the self-test again. If the “Replace Battery” LED is
still on, the battery needs to be replaced.
