12. LOW BATTERY WARNINGS
If the Altec Response is being used on battery and its charge is running low the unit will beep and announce "Low Battery"
and flash an empty battery symbol on the display every 2 minutes. When the battery is exhausted the unit will announce
"Powering Down" before turning itself off. Connect the power lead and leave on charge for at least 8 hours to restore full
battery power.
If the battery in a radio sensor needs replacing you will be alerted by a "Low Battery" call. This can occur anytime but it will
usually follow a genuine call from the same device.
Clear the call in the normal way but ensure the sensor battery is replaced as soon as possible.
The Low Battery call will repeat after all subsequent calls (or each day) until the battery is replaced.
Note: if there is no obvious means of replacing the battery then it may be a "sealed for life" device (eg. pendant, smoke
detector, carbon monoxide detector, etc. Please contact your Supplier or Tynetec's customer support dept for advice.
