What is it?
As well as providing light, the Lamp acts as a wireless signal booster to ensure that your AlertMe system works
reliably throughout your home. We will be adding more Lamp functions soon. It is mains powered and comes
with its own power supply; it also contains a battery backup to keep it running, but you don't need to fit that
battery yourself. It looks like this:
Nice, isn't it? There's more info here.
How do I start it up?
Plug the Lamp power supply into a mains power socket, somewhere near the Hub, and plug the power supply
cable into the Lamp (click here for a movie showing this). Then press the Button on the base of the Lamp once.
The light should then blink twice every few seconds for a while; this will stop once the Lamp is communicating
with the Hub. The Lamp may go dark if you unplug it from the mains, but will work fine when plugged in again
(this is because the backup battery inside it may not be fully charged yet). If the light does not turn on at all,
then click here for help.
The Lamp power connector may be a little tricky to plug into the Lamp, but don't worry, you won't break it. If
your Lamp does not light up at all, click here.
Where should I put it?
You should position your lamp somewhere you will enjoy it, but also somewhere not too close to your Hub.
Putting the Lamp in another room, or on another floor, of your home, is ideal. The Lamp needs to be plugged
into a mains power socket.
You should also try to follow our general Accessory positioning guidelines.
