General information about the backup battery

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 t

o 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.

Power outage notification by phone

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

service provided by cable company, I

nternet 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.

Power outage n

otification to your

mobile device

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.

Wireless communication range

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:

R The 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.
