Ê Not rechargeable: Size AA, 1.5 V DC alkaline
!

The batteries supplied by Security-Center are rechargeable Nickel Cadmium cells with 1.2 V 800m AAA batteries.
Do not attempt to use a different type of rechargeable battery. If you do not conform with the above instructions,
your equipment may suffer damage.
!
CAUTION:
If you use rechargeable batteries, make sure that jumper J10 is placed on its TWO pins (see also page 5-21). If
you do not conform to the above instructions, persons may be injured or your equipment may suffer damage.
Inserting the batteries:
Pull out the battery case of the ABUS wireless alarm system.
1. Place the 6 batteries supplied in the case. Check the polarity as shown on the case.
2. Push the battery case back in.
3. Secure the case with the lockable screw (if necessary).
4. After making all connections, plug the power supply unit in the mains socket.
NOTE:
Recharge the batteries for at least 12 hours to ensure that they are fully charged. The “weak battery” indication
should then disappear within 15 minutes.
IMPORTANT:
CAUTION: When replacing batteries, make sure you use the same type. If you do not conform to the above
instructions, persons may be injured or your equipment may suffer damage.
Replacing a rechargeable battery by a non-rechargeable battery can lead to damage unless you first replace
the jumper (J10) inside the ABUS wireless alarm system. For further details, see page 5-20: What are the
