Battery Installation and Removal
Introduction
The TG862G Telephony Gateway 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.
Note: The battery is intended
only
to provide emergency telephone service in the case of a
power outage. Wireless data and wired data service will
not
be available during a power
outage. In addition, LED operation is reduced when the Telephony Gateway is operating on
battery power.
Note: For safety and regulatory purposes, batteries are shipped outside of the Telephony
Gateway and must be installed.
The TG862G supports the following battery models:
Basic backup battery: provides up to 8 hours of backup time, depending on your
