Sensaphone® Model 1108 User’s Manual

2.3 Power Surge Protection

The Model 1108 can be damaged by power surges and lightning through the telephone line and the 120 VAC power supply. Although the Model 1108 has built-in surge protection, we recommend that additional protection be obtained for the unit and for any electronic equipment that is attached to your power supply and telephone lines. Power surge protection is especially important if you live in a lightning-prone area. The ISOTEL Surge Protector Model IB-4 is available through Sensaphone. See Appendix D.

2.4 Power Supply and Battery Backup

The Model 1108 is provided with an AC power transformer that will plug into any standard 120 VAC outlet and a battery backup (batteries not included) that enables the unit to continue functioning if AC power is removed (due to electric power disruption or failure). The Model 1108 uses six, D-cell alkaline batteries. Do not use rechargeable nicad batteries.

NOTE

Be sure that the AC transformer is plugged into an outlet before installing batteries.

To install the batteries, open the battery compartment hatch located underneath the unit, align batteries according to the diagram shown in Figure 2-2, and replace the hatch.
