FreedomAlert
®
v9.5
Water Resistance:
FreedomAlert will resist occasional splashes from water - i.e as in the shower.
However, it should never be submerged or exposed to water continuously.
Periodic Testing / Maintenance
It is highly recommended that you preform a full System Check (see page
18) at least twice a month. This will confirm that the Pendant battery is in
good condition and that the Base unit is able to get a dial tone.
Replacing Batteries: Replace the Base unit batteries every 2 years - or as
needed. Be sure to purchase NiMH AA batteries with 1,500 mAh or greater
capacity. A set of batteries in good condition and fully charged will supply
24 hours of back-up in the event of a power outage. You can test this by un-
plugging the AC Adapter and hearing the voice prompts. The Base unit will
announce “Running on battery power” once every 5 minutes for 30 minutes
- then once very 30 minutes until the batteries are depleated.
Out of Service Storage or Transportation: When storing the Base unit
-or taking it on a trip - or sending it in for repair - it is recommended that
you remove one or all of the AA rechargable batteries from the base unit so
that the “Running on battery power” announcement for the next 24 hours
doesn’t drive the postmaster crazy. Remember to re-install the 4 batteries
in the Base unit when it is put back in service.
