Power up
• Move the switch on the back of the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) to the "on"
position.
• Your Wi-Fi Gateway is now powering up. Wait up to five minutes for the
Broadband and Service indicator lights to turn solid green.
During this time, do not unplug the BBU or green data cable, as this can permanently
damage the Wi-Fi Gateway and significantly delay your Service Activation.
• If the Broadband and Service lights do not turn solid green or continue to
blink after 15 minutes, see "Having Trouble?" on the back of this guide.
Note: The BBU must be charged for approximately 18 hours before it is fully
operational; however installation of your service may continue while the BBU
is charging. The BBU may emit a beeping sound while charging.
