Place the extra Pendant battery into the front charging area of the Base unit
so that it will charge and be ready when its time to swap the batteries around.
The LED on the right side
will glow red when charg-
ing and green when fully
charged.
Base - larger green batteries: The
Base unit requires 4 rechargeable
NiMH batteries. Unlike the Pendant
battery - these are readily available
in many retail stores. These are to
provide you with up 24 hours of bat-
tery back-up protection in the event
of a power failure. They will not be
damaged by continually charging in
the base unit.
When you first get your unit - these batteries will probably be low, or even
fully discharged - and will need to be charged overnight before being able
to provide you the 24 hour battery back-up protection.
Unscrew the cover on the bottom of the Base unit with the supplied screw-
driver. Install the 4 batteries as shown in the plastic engraving in the battery
compartment area. A few seconds after you install these, you might hear
“Running on battery power”. This will continue every 5 minutes for up to
30 minutes - then every 30 minutes until power is applied through the power
adaptor. (If you do not hear anything - this simply means your batteries will
need to be fully charged overnight. Or it may mean that you have already
plugged in the power adaptor - which is why it would not announce “Run-
ning on battery power”.
NOTE: the voice prompts of “battery is OK” etc only apply to the pendant
battery - not to the status of the base unit’s batteries. It is recommended that
you replace the base unit batteries with a new set of similar batteries every
two years.
