The backup battery can provide power to your Home Network System devices (one device per backup battery), allowing your devices to continue to operate in the event of a power outage. Instead of connecting an AC adaptor to your hub, camera, etc., the backup battery is connected to your device and is also connected to the power outlet. During normal operation, the backup battery uses power from the power outlet to charge the battery and to supply power to the connected device. In the event of a power outage, the device is powered by the backup battery only.

You can register the backup battery to the hub and take advantage of other features, but note that the backup battery does not need to be registered in order for it to supply power to the connected device in the event of a power outage.

Backup battery performance

When the supplied battery is installed in the backup battery, you can expect the following operating time in the event of a power outage.

Compatible	Operating time*2
devices*1	Operating time*2
Hub	1.5 hours (standby,
(KX-HNB600)	connected to 4
	cameras, not
	connected to a
	Wi-Fi® network)

Compatible	Operating time*2
devices*1	Operating time*2
Indoor
Camera	2.0 hours (standby)
(KX-HNC210)	1.5 hours (standby,
Outdoor	when night vision
Camera	mode is active)
(KX-HNC600)
Indoor Siren	7 hours (standby)
(KX-HNS105)

*1 At the time of printing. Additional compatible devices may become available at a later date.

*2 All times are approximate.

In the event of a power outage, the backup battery can trigger the hub to call a pre-programmed phone number and notify you of the power outage. In order to use this feature, the following items are required.

–The hub must be connected to your landline (refer to the System Setup Guide included with the hub).

–The backup battery must be registered to the hub (page 14).

–You must use the [Home Network] app to program the phone number that will be called in the event of a power outage. For more information, refer to the User’s Guide

(page 15).

–The hub must be able to make calls using your landline even if there is a power outage. If your landline phone service requires a modem or other device to make phone calls (typically this is the case for landline phone

General product information

service provided by cable company, Internet service provider, VoIP service provider, etc.), and if that device does not contain its own backup battery, the hub will not be able to make calls in the event of a power outage.

In the event of a power outage, the backup battery can trigger the hub to send a notification to the [Home Network] app. In order to use this feature, the following items are required.

–The backup battery must be registered to the hub (page 14).

–You must use the [Home Network] app to enable the desired notifications. For more information, refer to the User’s Guide

(page 15).

–To receive power outage notifications, the hub must be able to access the Internet even if there is a power outage. This means that your wireless router and any other devices that are used when accessing the Internet (cable modem, network hubs, etc.) must also have their own backup power supplies*1, otherwise the hub cannot send notifications to the [Home Network] app in the event of a

power outage.

*1 The KX-HNP100 Backup Battery cannot supply power to these devices. A third-party backup power supply is required.

The wireless communication range of each device in the system from the hub is approximately 50 m (160 feet) indoors and approximately 300 m (1,000 feet) outdoors. Wireless communication may be unreliable when the following obstacles are located between the hub and other devices.

–Metal doors or screens

–Walls containing aluminum-sheet insulation

–Walls made of concrete or corrugated iron

–Double-pane glass windows

–Multiple walls

–When using each device on separate floors or in different buildings

Note:

RThe LED indicator lights in red if it is out of range of the hub. In this case, confirm all connections, including those of the hub.

Note:

RThe backup battery consumes battery power whenever it is not connected to the power outlet. To keep the backup battery charged and ready with the maximum amount of backup power, we recommend you keep it connected to a power outlet at all times.

RWhen the battery operating time seems to be shorter, even after I fully charged the battery:

–Clean the battery ends (, ) and the charge contacts with a dry cloth and charge again.

–It is time to replace the battery.
