You are encountering the following error messages on your PacketShaper:

• "5V Regulator Status Bad" on the Web User Interface (WUI)
• "Bad bat reg"  on the front LCD

See below for details regarding this error:

• This is a cosmetic warning that has no impact on a running unit.
• The warning simply indicates that the battery has fallen below a certain voltage. 
• The battery is used to keep the time current when the unit is power cycled or powered off. 
• A weakened battery will still keep time, but eventually will need to be replaced as it loses power and dies.
• A PacketShaper with a dead battery or no battery at all will still boot and function normally, but the time will have to be set every time the PacketShaper is rebooted and/or power cycled.    

Note: A PacketShaper with a dead battery will still have the correct time when rebooted if a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) server has been configured and enabled.  Please see the link below for details setup SNTP on your PacketShaper via the Command-Line Interface (CLI):
