3.3 Low Battery Alert
When a low battery is detected, the transmitter will send a low battery alert,

yellow low battery LED on the bottom of the pendant will begin to blink, and
will not stop until the battery is replaced, or the seven day countdown
expires.
If the seven day countdown expires without the battery being changed, the
pendant will go into storage mode. For more about storage mode, see
section 5, “Storage Mode”.
