Consider these recommendations:
Choose a location close to your computer if you will also use the residential
gateway for high-speed Internet service.
Choose a location that is near an existing RF coaxial connection to eliminate the
need for an additional RF coaxial outlet.
Choose a location that is relatively protected from accidental disturbance or
harm, such as a closet, basement, or other protected area.
Choose a location so that there is plenty of room to guide the cables away from
the residential gateway without straining or crimping them.
Choose a location that allows adequate ventilation around the residential
gateway.
Choose a location for the residential gateway that is adjacent to your telephone
equipment if you plan on connecting your phone directly to the residential
gateway.
Note: If you are using the residential gateway to provide service to several
telephones, a professional installer can connect the residential gateway to your
existing home telephone wiring.
Install the Battery
Your residential 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 residential gateway to a wall (if you
decide to do so) and before installing the residential gateway in your home.
It is possible to use the residential gateway without the battery. However, if you
choose to operate the residential gateway without a battery, you will not have
telephone service during a power outage.
Installing the Battery
Installing the battery requires no tools. Follow these instructions to install t he
battery.
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.
