Replacing the Battery
The required battery is CR2032 Lithium 3V, manufactured by VARTA or Energizer, purchased from a DSC-approved supplier. When this panic button is out of use, remove the batteryand dispose of them separately. Bring electrical appliances to the local collecting points for waste electrical and electronic equipment. Batteries are harmful to the environment, please help to protect the environment from health risks. Replace the battery at least once every 5 years, or upon observing that the LED flickers when transmitting.
- WARNING: The polarity of the battery must be observed. Improper handling of lithium batteries may result in heat generation, explosion or fire, which may lead to personal injuries.
- WARNING: Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Keep away from small children. If batteries are swallowed, promptly see a doctor. Do not try to recharge these batteries. Disposal of used batteries must be made in accordance with the waste recovery and recycling regulations in your area.
To replace the battery:
- Insert a coin into the slot on the bottom of the unit and twist it open.
