Cleaning
Keep the Home Communicator free of dust by wiping it with a soft
cotton cloth. If additional cleaning is required, follow the steps below:
1. Move the power switch on the back of the Home Communicator to
the OFF position and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Note: You cannot call for help while the Home Communicator is
off. Accordingly, you may wish to have a family member or caregiver
present while you are cleaning your Home Communicator.
2. Slightly dampen a soft cloth with a mild soap and water and gently wipe
the surfaces clean. Do not use detergent or abrasive cleaners
on your Home Communicator.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the power outlet. Move the power
switch on the back of the Home Communicator to the ON position.
4. Test your system by pressing your Help Button. Tell the Response
Associate that you are just testing your equipment after cleaning it.
Caution: Do not spray water or cleaners directly on your Home
Communicator. Excessive moisture could get inside the Home
Communicator and cause damage.
Backup battery
Your Home Communicator uses a factory-installed battery for back-up.
If you lose power, the back-up battery begins to work automatically.
