5. Maintenance

5.1 Battery Replacement for Call Button

The call button is powered by 3 AAA batteries. When the signal weakens or the button stops responding, it's time to replace the batteries. Use the provided small screwdriver to open the back cover, replace the old batteries with new ones, and secure the cover.

5.2 General Care

• Keep the devices clean by wiping them with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid exposing the watch pager and call button to excessive moisture or immersion in water. While the call button is splash-proof, it is not designed for submersion.
• Store the system in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Alert from Receiver:
  • Ensure the receiver is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the call button or watch pager battery needs replacement.
  • Verify that the call button/watch pager is paired with the receiver (refer to Section 3.2).
  • Ensure the devices are within the operational range (up to 100ft/30m). Walls and other obstacles can reduce range.
• Weak Signal or Intermittent Alerts:
  • Relocate the receiver to a more central location or closer to the user.
  • Check for potential interference from other electronic devices.
  • Replace batteries in the call button/watch pager.
• Ringtone Not Changing:
