When you fi rst get your unit - these batteries will
probably be low, or even fully discharged - and will
need to be charged for 24 hours before being able to
provide you the 24 hour battery back-up protection.
Remove the cover on the bottom of the Base unit.
Install the 4 batteries in the battery compartment area.
A few seconds after you install these, you might hear
“Running on battery power”. When the unit is operat-
ing on the backup batteries, it will announce “Running
On Battery Power” twice and the RED Power LED will
fl ash continuously. If power is not restored within an 8
hour period, the unit will start to announce “Running
On Battery Power” once every 30 minutes until power is
restored or the back up batteries are depleted. (If you
do not hear this announcement, and the Power LED is
on solid, that means that you have already plugged in
the power adaptor).
NOTE: the voice prompts of “battery is OK” etc. only
apply to the pendant battery - not to the status of the
base unit’s batteries. It is recommended that you re-
place the base unit batteries every 2 years.
