Install the Battery
Your Wireless Gateway may include one rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery to
provide stand-by operation in the event of an AC power failure. We recommend that
you install the battery before mounting the Wireless Gateway to a wall (if you decide
to do so) and before installing the Wireless Gateway in your home.
It is possible to use the Wireless Gateway without the battery. However, if you
choose to operate the Wireless Gateway without a battery, you will not have
telephone service during a power outage.
For information on battery maintenance, see Maintaining the Battery (on page 43).
Installing the Battery
Installing the battery requires no tools. Follow these instructions to install the

WARNING:
Fully charged high-capacity rechargeable batteries should be handled with
care. Replace only with the battery recommended by the manufacturer. Do not
disassemble it or attempt to recharge the battery outside the system. Do not
crush, puncture, dispose of in a fire, short the external contacts, or expose to
high temperature or immerse in water or other liquids. Dispose of the battery
in accordance with local regulations and instructions from your service
provider.

compartment.
2 Gently release the latch to open the battery cover and gain access to the battery
