Install/Replace Backup Battery
The iH7 uses a backup battery system to provide continuous alarm operation and clock settings
in the event of a power failure. If the Battery Low Icon located on the left of the display is flashing,
it is time to replace the backup batteries.
Please make sure the AC adaptor is connected, otherwise
all settings may be lost during battery replacement.
Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the unit. Insert 2 “AA” batteries
as indicated. We recommend the use of alkaline batteries for longer life.
Batteries information:
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon -zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
