BATTERY CHECK, will also perform a SYSTEM CHECK. Press and hold
this button for more than four (4) seconds. One of the following announce-

The Pendant is working.
The Base unit is working.
The Base unit is connected to a working phone line.
The Pendant is within range of the Base unit.
“System cannot detect dial tone.”
The Base unit is not connected to the phone line or can not get a
dial tone for some reason.
“Base and Pendant out of range.”
This confirms one or more of the following:
The Pendant has malfunctioned.
The Base has malfunctioned.
The Pendant and Base unit are not communicating with each other
or are out or range.
If you receive a failure notification, please refer to the TROUBLESHOOT
-
ING guide on page 25 of this manual to determine the cause.
This testing feature is very useful
- allowing you to confirm that the system
has coverage from all parts of your home. Simply walk to the various
parts of your home and push the Battery Check / System Check button
until you hear the 4 beeps and then the dial tone. You can then release
the button, and you will hear the voice prompt “All Systems are OK”,
“Pendant and Base out of Range”, or “System Cannot Detect Dial Tone”.
NOTE: If your telephone service offers voice mail and the voice mail
system uses a Stutter Dial Tone to notify you of a message, the system test
may fail – “cannot detect dial tone” if a system test is made with a message
waiting. This is normal as the FreedomAlert is “listening” for a conven-
tional dial tone. Check your messages so the dial tone returns to a solid
tone and test again. In the event of an emergency, the FreedomAlert will
dial the emergency number regardless of a standard or stutter dial tone.
