Both the optical network terminal power supply unit and battery backup unit are installed behind my bed. can this cause health issues?

I cannot answer the question. I suggest you call and ask the service provider, probably Verizon,

I have zero actual engineering knowledge. I believe it has no radio frequency output, that only comes from the router. The power consumed by this unit is not that great so I would doubt it is not like being near high tension wires. Unless you have a pacemaker, I wouldn't worry about it. Even if you do have a pacemaker, I still doubt it's an issue. But if you are worried, contact the manufacturer and learn about what standards they suggest. Then contact Verizon and see if the ONT exceeds the standards.

Mine is installed in the basement. I have no idea if it could cause health issues.

Actually you do not need a battery backup for these items. A high quality Surge strip will cover them. The Battery Backups are really meant for computers, phone systems and medical devices that need to stay on during a brief power outage. I use one in my office for the Cable Modem (voice and internet), the Router, my main office PC, and the cordless phone base. I have a couple of these 350's in another office on the phone CPE (basically a modem), the phone switch and internet router. If you do get one think about what gets plugged into the battery side and what is on the surge protected side.

YES YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED. Do not use the battery as it may create a hazard. Dispose/recycle appropriately or return to manufacturer/seller.

I haven't had any problems with my unit. Check all your cords and hook up. I had to unhook my usb on the front of my tower, had issues with it on my board!

Sorry, I can't Answer. I don't believe we have lost power since this has been installed. I know that it works consistently and comes on at the same time unless we reset the time.

I do not know scientifically, but I keep our base unplugged unless it is in use. E.g. Plug in, lift head of bed, unplug. This may not make any difference to our health, but it makes me "feel" healthier. �

These battery backups are intended for consumer electronics like computers, monitors, phone systems and A/V components. I'd bet the powerful motors on your adjustable bed draw too much power for this UPS to be effective.

Not that I know of. Anything plugged in has a battery back up. I am in an area of frequent power failures. More than one a month and it has not been a problem with the security system. You could call GE, I think it is GE/Jasco for the security system. Sorry I don't have the number with me. They are very helpful.

Yes that's normal. I doubt if you can disable aside from disconnecting power.

No. A battery backup is less necessary than most people think and unless you live in an area with frequent/rolling blackouts I'd just get one of these and spare your wallet.

I have it plugged directly into the wall now, the power has gone out a few times and no data has been lost. I am thinking about getting a surge protector with a battery backup just in case.

Depends on how much power you are drawing. I have my desktop PC, monitor, router and cable modem on battery backup. All I want is time to save what I am working on and shut down properly. Around 10 minutes would be fine with me, but I haven't tried to test it.

No. After use I unplug from electricity. I use this only once a moth to backup my computers.

Hi Maelster.Don't have the box anymore, so can't testify to specs, but....I have mine fully loaded, (cordless phone, 2 printers, computer, modem, router and 2 Magic Jacks) all directly behind the computer. There is no interference on any of the components, where there was quite a bit before on another strip. Hope this helps.WM

I run 2 Servers in my home office (I am an IT Consultant), plus the rest of my home on this unit. About 5 months ago we lost power for 48 hours and we ran the generator using Natural Gas. I had a couple of hiccups with some of my UPS's due to voltage fluctuation. I think it has to do with the sensitivity of the units. My older UPS units did not have an issue. I have found out from others in my field that this is common with newer units. I have APC older units and they did beep every once in awhile, but the equipment stayed on all 48 hours. The newer units did not and once the battery was used up, the equipment turned off. I don't want to give out model #'s because just because mine worked, I can't guarantee it will work for you. Once it gets warmer around here I am going to try and put surge suppressors in front of the newer units to see if that helps. If not I would try to put cheap UPS's in front of the High Capacity units. Hope that helps. BTW, I have my generator connected using a manual transfer switch and when I lost power, I was able to be on generator power in under 3 minutes.... Power went out... I went outside, removed the cover, turned on the Natural Gas, turned the key... That was it. I use a battery tender always connected to the unit so the battery is always fully charged. Total install including the generator was under $2600.

I ran a pos & neg cable back to batteries. Connected to pos & neg terminal.
