Both the Smart Dialler and the Wireless pendant have a battery and it is the user’s responsibility to
ensure that they are in good working order. You
mUst onlY
install a CareAlert supplied rechargeable
battery for the Smart Dialler base station. The Smart Dialler automatically keeps the internal battery
recharged. CareAlert recommends replacing base station and pendant batteries every 2 years.

1.
To change the battery on the Smart Dialler you will need a small Phillips head screwdriver (supplied) to
undo the battery compartment cover on the base of the Smart Dialler. Before doing so it is important that
you first disconnect the power supply to the unit and unplug the incoming phone line (all information
will be retained). Your rechargeable battery will not normally need replacing unless it fails to hold its
charge. It should be noted that the Smart Dialler will continue to operate normally without a battery,
however should there be a power failure then this battery is relied upon to ensure that the Smart Dialler
will continue to operate for up to 40 hours. If you live in an area which is subject to frequent blackouts it
may affect the longevity of your units battery.
2.
To change the battery in your Wireless Pendant you will need a small Phillips head screwdriver (provided
in the original pack). This Wireless pendant is very delicate and so care should be taken when changing
this battery. As shown in Fig 1 diagram below, undo the 4 screws and carefully change the battery
ensuring that the battery polarity is correct (+ve & -ve). Replace the cover correctly and secure it with
the screws. These Screws should be relatively tight without using excessive force! Ensure the backing
plate has pressed tight to the seal.
3.
After changing either of the batteries it is important that you test the unit for correct function.
