– The hub must be able to make calls
using your landline even if there is a
power outage. If your landline phone
service requires a modem or other
device to make phone calls (typically
this is the case for landline phone
service provided by cable company,
Internet service provider, VoIP
service provider, etc.), and if that
device does not contain its own
backup battery, the hub will not be
able to make calls in the event of a
power outage.
Power outage
notification to your
mobile device
In the event of a power outage, the
backup battery can trigger the hub to
send a notification to the
[Home
Network]
app. In order to use this
feature, the following items are
required.
– The backup battery must be
registered to the hub (page 14).
– You must use the
[Home Network]
app to enable the desired
notifications. For more information,
refer to the User’s Guide
(page 15).
– To receive power outage
notifications, the hub must be able to
access the Internet even if there is a
power outage. This means that your
wireless router and any other
devices that are used when
accessing the Internet (cable
modem, network hubs, etc.) must
also have their own backup power
supplies
, otherwise the hub cannot
send notifications to the
[Home
Network]
app in the event of a
power outage.
*1 The KX-HNP100 Backup Battery
cannot supply power to these
devices. A third-party backup
power supply is required.
Wireless
communication
range
The wireless communication range of
each device in the system from the hub
is approximately 50 m (160 feet)
indoors and approximately 300 m
(1,000 feet) outdoors. Wireless
communication may be unreliable
when the following obstacles are
located between the hub and other
devices.
– Metal doors or screens
– Walls containing aluminum-sheet
insulation
– Walls made of concrete or
corrugated iron
– Double-pane glass windows
– Multiple walls
– When using each device on
separate floors or in different
buildings
Note:
R
The LED indicator lights in red if it is
out of range of the hub. In this case,
confirm all connections, including
those of the hub.
