INSTALLING THE BACKUP BATTERIES

The alarm center's backup batteries power the alarm system during an AC
power failure.  When AC power is restored, the alarm center automatically
recharges the batteries.

NOTE:  The alarm system works differently during an AC power failure.  See
       "Low Power Mode" on Faxback Doc.  # 33424.

You need two rechargeable 6-volt batteries (such as Cat. No.  230-0181) to
power the alarm center during an AC power failure.  Together, the batteries
are rated at 12V at 2.5 Ah.

CAUTIONS:  Use only the recommended batteries in the alarm center.

           The recommended batteries contain high current when charged.  Do
           not short circuit their positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
           with any metal object.  Avoid casual handling.

           If the AC adapter is connected to the alarm center, unplug it
           from the AC outlet before installing or replacing the batteries.

NOTE:  Your alarm center uses rechargeable batteries.  At the end of the
       batteries' useful life, they must be recycled or disposed of
       properly.  Contact your local, county, or state hazardous waste
       management authorities for information on recycling or disposal
       programs in your area.  Some options that might be available are:
       municipal curbside collection, drop-off boxes at retailers,
       recycling collection centers, and mail-back programs.

1.  Connect the supplied battery jumper to the battery terminals,
    connecting the (+) and (-) terminals.

2.  Undo the buckle on the battery strap inside the alarm center, then
    slide both batteries inside the alarm center.

3.  Slide the loose end of the battery strap back through the buckle and
    pull it tight to secure the batteries.

STOP! do not connect the batteries to the alarm center yet.  You will
connect them while testing the alarm system.
