Battery Information
General
X10 Pendant Remotes are designed to operate for approximately two years when fi tted
with a 3V lithium cell. Since operating conditions vary from installation to installation
however, it is recom mended that all batteries are replaced once a year.
Console
Battery backup
The battery in the Console is used as a backup when there has been a power failure.
The battery provides approx. 20 hours of backup time provided the alarm has not been
triggered.
While on battery backup, the Console will continue to operate, and will sound the siren and
dial out if the alarm is triggered. If both the AC supply and the battery fails, the Console
will no longer dial out or sound the siren, and will lose its telephone numbers and recorded
message.
Battery Replacement
Batteries can be replaced at any time, even while the unit is powered up. There is no
special procedure for battery replacement.

Pendant Remote
Battery Replacement
Providing the battery has not already failed, it may be replaced with a fresh battery without
the need to reinstall the remote provided the fresh battery is fi tted within 30 seconds of
removing the old one. Confi rm that the remote is still logged in by pressing STOP and
listening for the confi rmation tone from the Console. If there is no sound, the code has
been lost and you will need to register the remote again (see page 6).
To replace the battery, remove the two screws and gently separate the two halves of
the cabinet. Slide out the old battery and replace with a fresh 3V Lithium Cell (CR2025).
Observe the polarity.
Clearing Remotes from the Console
If you suspect that a neighboring system is causing false alarms, or if you need to reinstall
remotes for any other reason, you can clear all remotes from the Console's memory by
unplugging it and removing the battery.
Note: You will need to reprogram telephone numbers and recorded message after doing
this.
