Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know when my battery needs charging?
A: Daily charging is recommended. The BATTERY indicator on your home gateway turns red
when the battery becomes extremely low. You can also monitor the battery charge level by
logging in to the web portal at www.myhalomonitor.com
. If necessary, the home gateway issues

that the transmitter battery requires charging promptly. The audible reminder is cancelled by
charging the transmitter.
Q: I want to remove the strap for a period of time. Is that okay?

drying.
Q: What happens if I push the grey button?
