Base - larger AA rechargeable batteries: The Base unit requires 4 recharge-
able 2400 NiMH batteries. Unlike the Pendant battery - these are readily
available in many retail stores. These are to provide you with up 24 hours
of battery back-up protection in the event of a power failure. They will not
be damaged by continually charging in the base unit.
These should have been installed for you during the set-up. If they are not
installed, simply follow these directions here.
When you rst 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 once every minute for the
rst 15 minutes, then once every 30 minutes until power is applied through
the power adaptor - or until the batteries are depleted. (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 “Running 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.
