10. Important Information
10.1Periodic testing
Remote Pendant
We recommend you check and test the remote pendant and SOS button
function every month. To ensure that it is working correctly.
The remote pendant battery should last for up to 2 years but we recommend
changing it every 12 months or sooner if the red light on the pendant becomes
dim or the operating range reduces. Replacement batteries for the pendant
can be obtained from most supermarkets.
Testing the remote pendant battery
1. Press and hold the button (1) on the remote pendant
unit briefly. The LED (2) lights up.
2. If the LED (2) no longer lights up when the button
is press and held, replace the battery.
Replacing the battery in the remote pendant
1. Remove the screw on the rear side of the remote pendant using a small,
cross tip screwdriver.
2. Insert the tip of a small screwdriver in the notch (3) and carefully open the
housing.
3. Replace the 12volt battery with a Duracell 23A 12-Volt Alkaline Battery,
pay attention to the correct polarity.
4. Close the housing and replace the screw.
5. Test the remote by pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds the
phone will begin to beep. Cancel by pressing and holding the button on
the pendant for 3 seconds.
10.2Battery Backup on the phone base
The TP170WP requires that 4 AA Alkaline batteries be fitted in the phone
and the power adaptor be connected to mains power socket and be turned on
at all times.
The Battery warning symbol on the phone display will indicate when the 4 AA
batteries in the phone base need replacing. The batteries fitted to the phone
base will power the unit for up to 12 hours if there is a mains power failure or
power for some reason is disconnected to the phone.
These batteries are not the rechargeable type and therefore if your mains
power has been turned off for an extended period or the power supply to the
phone has been unplugged from mains power you should replace these
batteries with 4 new quality AA Alkaline batteries.
