Battery handling and safety
Do not throw batteries into a fire. Failure to observe this warning could result in an
explosion.
Note:
REMOVE the batteries when the FA-700 is not in service.
Battery life
If the back-up battery voltage drops below 2.35 volts, a low battery alarm will be sent, even
when the unit is powered by the AC power adapter. The FA-700 will call the programmed
phone number and issue a low battery alarm message. If the unit is operating on battery
power only
(after an AC power failure),
the alarm call-out will continue until battery power
drops to approximately
1.9 volts. Typically, most good alkaline batteries should provide
approximately 12 hours of continuous power.
Note:
If the low battery alarm was due to an extended AC power failure, it is recommended
that you replace the batteries. Also, a false low battery alarm can occur if the AA
batteries have not been installed and AC power is connected to the FA-700.
You CANNOT program the call-to phone number when the FA-700 is running only on
battery power.
Note:
The FA-700 uses two AA batteries for backup power.

Installing the batteries
Note:
To avoid a false low battery alarm, please connect the AC power adapter to the FA-700
and the wall outlet before inserting batteries.
To install the batteries, follow the Steps shown in Figure 4.

Connecting the FA-700 and another device to the same phone jack
If you need to connect the FA-700 and some other device, such as a telephone, to the same
wall phone jack, simply use a phone jack splitter
(not provided).
To use a splitter, do the
following:
