Power Outages
The AT&T Wireless Internet device has a backup battery, for use in the event of a
power outage, with talk time of approximately 180 minutes and standby time of
approximately 29 hours (depending on environmental factors). In the event of a
power outage (commercial power no longer available), the AT&T Wireless Internet
device will automatically begin using the backup battery, provided there is sucient
battery charge le. If there is no battery charge at the time of the power outage, the
device will not be operable.
To make calls using your backup battery, you must plug a corded phone or landline
phone into one of the “Phone” ports on the AT&T Wireless Internet device.
When the AT&T Wireless Internet device is using the backup battery there are three
Power saving modes which can be applied in order to ensure the maximum time
of functioning telephone services. The default setting is the Balanced (Temporary
connectivity) mode. For this setting Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity will be disabled
aer a set period of time (ve minutes by default) or once the battery reaches 50%
charge. The Maximum Saving (No connectivity) mode disables Wi-Fi and Ethernet
while operating on battery power. The other setting is None in which all functionality
remains enabled and will function normally for the duration of the battery’s charge. In
either power saving mode, pressing the WPS button will cause the device to return to
normal (no power saving) mode.
If you experience a power outage and your backup battery is fully depleted, it will
be necessary to restart your device when power is restored by toggling the On/O
button; the Power light will turn solid green.
