ERROR MESSAGES

Batteries: If the clock is ashing “BATT” and beeping at one-minute intervals, the
batteries were not installed correctly or are below the required voltage. Remove
and reinsert them, or replace them if necessary. Be sure to match the polarity signs
(+ and –) in the battery compartment. To keep the setup with your smoke alarm,
leave the clock plugged in while you change batteries.

Bed shaker: If the screen is ashing “beds” and the clock is beeping, the bed shaker

has probably come unplugged. Seat the bed-shaker plug rmly into the jack.

NOTE: If you want to stop using the bed shaker after it has been installed, unplug
it and then press and hold the red TEST/SILENCE button for 2 seconds. That starts
a manual self-test that will display “TEST” for 10 to 20 seconds, sound the re alarm
briey, and “retrain” the HL to operate without a bed shaker. If you decide to start

using the bed shaker again, simply plug it in.

PLEASE READ THE USER’S MANUAL COMPLETELY AND THOROUGHLY FOR
FURTHER DIRECTIONS, PRODUCT FEATURES, AND WARRANTY INFORMATION.
