Inserting speech pullcord batteries
The speech pullcord is an essential requirement in situations where it is
difficult to wear the speech pendant, such as in bed or in a toilet. The speech
pullcord is operated by three Duracell MN2400 super alkaline (AAA) batteries.
In order to maximise the life of its batteries, the speech pullcord uses no
power until the cord is pulled.
Note: The speech pullcord is not suitable for use in bathrooms or other steamy
environments.
To insert the speech pullcord
batteries
1 Grip the body of the speech
pullcord (if the speech pullcord
is not yet mounted, you will also
need to hold the base plate with
your other hand) and twist it in an
anti-clockwise direction so that it
disengages from the base plate.
2 Within the main body, disengage the
battery holder from its retaining clips
and slide off its top cover.
3 Insert three AAA batteries into the
holder according to the orientation
marks shown for each battery
position.
4 Slide on the top cover of the battery
holder and place it into the retaining
clips within the speech pullcord
body.
5 Offer up the speech pullcord body
to the base plate. Within the inner lip
of the main body there are two tabs
of differing sizes. These must be
aligned with the correct slots within
the base plate. Once engaged,
twist the main body clockwise until it
clicks into place.
