Routine Testing of the Backup Battery

After each year in service the backup battery should be checked by simulating a power cut.
This can be done by turning the plug off at the socket / un-plugging the 3-pin plug from the wall / or pulling the
12v DC jack out of the Connect-iT.
You should then ensure the unit keeps functioning for a reasonable period (e.g. 24 hours), by observing the
"Power" LED and the activation of the wired nursecall output/Radio system when any alarm calls are raised.
If the "Power" LED is not flashing and Alarm Calls fail to activate after 24 hours, replace the batteries.
To replace the battery, unclip the unit from the wall using the tab underneath. The rear case will stay fixed to the
wall and the 2 batteries will be exposed on the back of the unit.
You must only use rechargeable batteries; 2 x AA Ni-MH (HR6) Re-chargeable 2500mAh.

How to Clean the Device

The unit can be cleaned by wiping the unit with cotton wool pads moistened (compressed until dripping stops) with
a mild detergent (0.5% washing up liquid) solution or by using an alcohol or baby wipe. Avoid getting any liquid into
the micro-USB connector, output connector or power socket.
