Replacing the Batteries
The NIFX fixed transceiver requires 2 x 1.5V AA disposable alkaline batteries. The battery voltage is
continually monitored and if low voltage is detected a “low battery” alarm is transmitted.
Figure 206. Replacing the batteries
The low battery status is included in every heartbeat transmission of the unit. Under normal
circumstances the battery life is 1 to 1½ years.
When battery powered, the fixed transceiver LEDs stay active for a period of 30 seconds after a call has
been made. When externally powered the red, yellow and green LEDs will permanently emit a low
intensity light for locating and identification in the dark.
Handset Connection
The socket module version of the fixed transceiver (NIFX-1BB) includes a teleCARE Safe Release socket for
connecting the NIPH2-A1A handset with handset disconnect alarm functionality. Speech/Entertainment
handsets are not supported.
