Important Information

General informationabout the backupbatteryThe backup battery can provide powerto your Home Network System devices(one device per backup battery),allowing your devices to continue tooperate in the event of a power outage.Instead of connecting an AC adaptor toyour hub, camera, etc., the backupbattery is connected to your device andis also connected to the power outlet.During normal operation, the backupbattery uses power from the poweroutlet to charge the battery and tosupply power to the connected device.In the event of a power outage, thedevice is powered by the backupbattery only.

You can register the backup batteryto the hub and take advantage ofother features, but note that thebackup battery does not need to beregistered in order for it to supplypower to the connected device in theevent of a power outage.

Backup battery performanceWhen the supplied battery is installedin the backup battery, you can expectthe following operating time in theevent of a power outage.

Compatibledevices*1 Operating time*2

Hub(KX-HNB600)

1.5 hours (standby,connected to 4cameras, notconnected to aWi-Fi® network)

*2 All times are approximate.

Power outagenotification by phoneIn the event of a power outage, thebackup battery can trigger the hub tocall a pre-programmed phone numberand notify you of the power outage. Inorder to use this feature, the followingitems are required.– The hub must be connected to your

landline (refer to the System SetupGuide included with the hub).

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

– You must use the [Home Network]app to program the phone numberthat will be called in the event of apower outage. For more information,refer to the User’s Guide(page 15).

– The hub must be able to make callsusing your landline even if there is apower outage. If your landline phoneservice requires a modem or otherdevice to make phone calls (typicallythis is the case for landline phone

General product information

service provided by cable company,Internet service provider, VoIPservice provider, etc.), and if thatdevice does not contain its ownbackup battery, the hub will not beable to make calls in the event of apower outage.

Power outagenotification to yourmobile deviceIn the event of a power outage, thebackup battery can trigger the hub tosend a notification to the [HomeNetwork] app. In order to use thisfeature, the following items arerequired.– The backup battery must be

registered to the hub (page 14).– You must use the [Home Network]

app to enable the desirednotifications. For more information,refer to the User’s Guide(page 15).

– To receive power outagenotifications, the hub must be able toaccess the Internet even if there is apower outage. This means that yourwireless router and any otherdevices that are used whenaccessing the Internet (cablemodem, network hubs, etc.) mustalso have their own backup powersupplies*1, otherwise the hub cannotsend notifications to the [HomeNetwork] app in the event of apower outage.

*1 The KX-HNP100 Backup Batterycannot supply power to thesedevices. A third-party backuppower supply is required.

WirelesscommunicationrangeThe wireless communication range ofeach device in the system from the hubis approximately 50 m indoors andapproximately 300 m outdoors.Wireless communication may beunreliable when the following obstaclesare located between the hub and otherdevices.– 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 differentbuildings

Note:R The LED indicator lights in red if it is

out of range of the hub. In this case,confirm all connections, includingthose of the hub.
