Does the FXA5000 Smart Hub have internal battery backup in case of a power outage?

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

@mrrob77 Does the Telus FXA5000 have any internal battery backup in case of power outage? Do I lose phone and internet service during a power outage?

 

The long and the short answer is no, the FXA5000 does not contain battery backup of any sort. There are however a couple of solutions. First you could always add a UPS to your system to ensure at least your hardware has power.

 

The caveat of course is if it is a neighborhood wide power outage the likelihood of any signal getting through would be minimal.

 

I always keep a cell phone handy just in case. Regardless if you have or don’t have a phone plan, 911 in case of emergencies is always available regardless of the phone status.

Hope this helps, cheers

Have you tried unplugging it to see what happens?

Thanks Dr!  As I suspected. My old Shaw system had a UPS backup powering the modem.
