When battery power drops below a certain level, a Battery Low pop‐up displays the following message:
"Batteries are low. Replay and Recording disabled. Connect external power to prevent data loss."
HomePatrol‐1 sounds a Battery Low beep every five seconds. Tap the pop‐up screen to close it and stop
the battery low beep.
How to Set the Battery Charge Time
Tap the following:
Menu
Advanced Menu
Set Charge Time
The Set Charge Time keypad displays and the Battery Size value flashes.
Enter the battery size in mAh (this number should be on the battery itself). HomePatrol‐1
calculates the time required to completely recharge these batteries and displays it, flashing, in
the Hours field.
If this time is acceptable, tap Accept. If it is not, enter another time and tap Accept.
When the values are accepted, HomePatrol‐1 beeps and the Advanced Menu screen displays
again.
Tap Listen to return to monitoring.
NOTE: At any time, you can tap Listen to return to normal reception without making changes or Back
to return to the previous screen without changing the settings.
How to Recharge the Batteries
1. Connect HomePatrol to a power source (AC or DC). Turn on the unit if it is not already on.
2. HomePatrol begins monitoring transmissions and displays a message asking if you want to
recharge the batteries. Select Yes.
NOTE: HomePatrol retains your selection for 1 hour after you disconnect external power. If you
reconnect within that hour, it will automatically resume charging according to your last selection.
3. HomePatrol recharges the batteries while it continues monitoring. It will display a charging
symbol ( ) in the battery status area.
NOTE: Charging can continue from a standby state or a powered down state.
