a
bout 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. Backup battery performance

otification 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

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.

devices. A third-party backup
power supply is required. Wireless

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
