I can always count on a submariner for good, common-sense advice.

Unplug the unit from the 110 power.
Open the cover.
Unplug the battery.
Wait.....
Plug the battery in.
Close cover.
Plug in 110.

I have to do it once a month.
I think it’s on a timer, the battery tests fine.
Amazon has the batterys too.

Backup battery dying and needs to be replaced. It’s in big white box somewhere inside your house. Mines near where it comes into house. Its plugged into an outlet. I bought my last replacement at Amazon but you should be able to find locally.

You have been identified as not inclusive. The social inclusive services are on their way. The beeping is to let them know who needs re-education. You have violated the national inclusion and racial sensitivity act of 2027 retroactively. Prepare to be move to the work camps of social justice. Good bye.

If that were the case, wouldn’t the red ‘battery low’ light be on? It’s never been on.

Tried, very hopefully. Still screech-beeping every 3 minutes; but, Thanks.

(It wouldn’t bother me so much if I hadn’t been suffering a tooth issue, waiting until Monday to see a doc with restricted hours due to Covid, and then perhaps anticipaing oral surgery. And dishwasher died this week, too! I guess when it rains, it pours; and things could be a lot worse :-)

Replaced the battery 3-times over the years... Finally put 3 pillows around it and decided to switch back to Comcast... Interesting to note that FIOS no longer uses the stupid battery backup, which is only for the phone, but remove the battery and the phone still works but the TV goes away...

Also, FIOS has over charged so many times I stopped keeping count... Have had FIOS for 7 years and only the first 2 were satifactory...

The last contract renewal was a guaranteed charge of 197 per month... That had stealthed up to 272 by the time the contract expired last November... That's with no HBO or any of the other fancey movie channels...

Also the lie about speed... Supposed to have 100 up & 100 down... Now it dribbles in and out at about 70...

Will go for the 1 gb down from Comcast assuming they can give me at least 100 up...

Since the chinese sneak attack occurred I've been marking time till I switch... Maybe in Sept...

All I really need is my Firestick for the things I watch...

It’s been years since we paid that much. We only pay about $80 per month to Verizon for Internet connection - I think it’s 25 up/25 down. Our home phone is an Ooma voip, and we have Roku for TV.

This arrangement gives us everything we want or need (YMMV) - and we haven’t experienced any slowness or glitches with it - except, obviously, some issues regarding peace and quiet right now ;-)

But we don’t need all the stuff that others might through the Internet.

At Verison, to speak with a human, it’ll cost you $7.

Um, yes, I guess.

But this is the first time we’ve had to endure unending beeping while waiting for a battery.

I’ve been thinking of hiring one of the kids downstairs and their cherry bombs - or whatever those firecrackers are that are making so much noise out there.

But then I couldn’t talk to YOU.

Well, I was waiting for a particular doc. I probably could have seen someone else over the past few days; but I wanted the Particular Doc.

I have issues.

Yikes - that's a lot of crap... I'm moving toward the 'put a pillow on it' solution. You deserve a break from this stuff... That said, you're in my prayers and you might as well call Verizon.

It’ll all be over soon. If you think about the worst thing you ever experienced in your life, it’s over now and just a memory, isn’t it?

I suffered from a long siege of trigeminal neuralgia years ago - horrible disease. Fortunately, I wasn’t one of the folks for whom there is no real cure; but I’ve remained cautious about any ‘tooth’ stuff.

I appreciate your prayers and your impulse to pray for me very much. Thank You.
