10.1Periodic testing
Remote Pendant
We recommend you check and test the remote pendant and SOS button function every month. To ensure that it is working correctly.
The remote pendant battery should last for up to 2 years but we recommend changing it every 12 months or sooner if the red light on the pendant becomes dim or the operating range reduces. Replacement batteries for the pendant can be obtained from most supermarkets.

10.2Battery Backup on the phone base
The TP170WP requires that 4 AA Alkaline batteries be fitted in the phone and the power adaptor be connected to mains power socket and be turned on at all times.
The Battery warning symbol on the phone display will indicate when the 4 AA batteries in the phone base need replacing.The batteries fitted to the phone base will power the unit for up to 12 hours if there is a mains power failure or power for some reason is disconnected to the phone.
These batteries are not the rechargeable type and therefore if your mains power has been turned off for an extended period or the power supply to the phone has been unplugged from mains power you should replace these batteries with 4 new quality AA Alkaline batteries.
