Install/Replace Backup Battery
The HiP99 uses a backup battery system to provide continuous alarm operation and clock
settings in the event of a power failure. If the Battery Low Icon located on the left of the
display is on, it is time to replace the backup batteries. Please make sure the AC adaptor
is connected, otherwise all settings may be lost during battery replacement.
Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the unit. Insert 2 “AA”
batteries as indicated. Close the battery compartment.
We recommend the use of alkaline batteries for longer life.
Batteries information:
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon -zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
