Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. A lithium battery on the MultiAccess PC board provides backup power for the time-keeping capability. The battery has an estimated life expectancy of ten years. Contact Multi-Tech if you suspect a failed battery. If data and time are incorrect after having the unit powered off, it may be due to a weak battery or incorrect setup.

Caution: The Ethernet ports are not designed to be connected to a Public Telecommunication Network.
