Battery Back-up Installation Instructions
Your Sidekick II Signature Series Receiver comes with the battery back-up pre-installed at the factory. In the event that you need to re-install the battery pack, follow the instructions below.
The battery compartment door is secured by one screw. To gain access to the battery compartment remove the screw (pg 6). Plug the female connector from the battery pack onto the male connector pin in the battery compartment. Be sure to line up the pins with the holes in the connector. It will only fit one way. Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screw.
You will notice and On/Off switch on the right hand bottom corner of the battery compartment door (see pg 6). With the battery back-up installed and the back-up switch turn to the “ON” position, the Sidekick II’s AC power indicator will turn to an amber color when the unit goes into battery back-up mode because of a power failure. Turning the battery back-up power switch to “OFF” will turn off the battery back-up to the receiver and the clock. It is important that the battery back-up feature be turned “ON” for proper operation.
The Ni-Cad battery is intended to keep the Sidekick II operational during a short term power outage for several hours without the strobe or vibrator operating. If both strobe and vibrator are operating, the battery back-up will operate the system for approximately 10 minutes. The battery back-up is automatically being charged when the Sidekick II power supply is plugged into a standard electrical wall outlet.
The BATTERY ICON will display itself on the LCD screen once the battery back-up level has reached 2/3 of its discharge. However, the BATTERY ICON will not be displayed until this condition is reached. When the Amber LED is on but the BATTERY ICON is not displayed on the screen, this means that the battery is at a full or close to full charge.
2.Turn the Power ON by sliding the ON/OFF SWITCH on the back of the receiver to the ON position. The front panel display will show the time 11:59AM. An amber light will appear if the unit is in battery backup mode. (If your unit is equipped with a battery back-up.)

3.Set Clock Time: Press and release the MODE pushbutton (the large button located at the lower right hand side on the unit). The Orange LED will light up to let you know that you are in “Set Clock Time” mode.

5.When you are finished setting the minutes and hours, press and release the MODE pushbutton three times to exit the Setup Mode.
NOTE: Any time you unplug your Sidekick II Receiver from the wall outlet or turn the power off, the next time you turn your Sidekick II Receiver on again, you will need to reset the clock. If you are using the Battery Backup feature, you will not need to do this.
6.All of your Signature Series transmitters come pre-programmed from the factory to work with your Sidekick II Signature Series Receiver. If you need to set your transmitters to a different address, please refer to the section in this manual on programming transmitters. The only reason you would need
to do this is if someone in your area is using Silent Call products and they are interfering with your products or if you want to use the Supervision Capability with your Silent Call Smoke Detectors or Fire Transmitters.
