calls in case of a power failure. When battery power is low, the
LOW BATTERY light goes on. Replace the batteries promptly.

base. Leave at least 3 inches free at each end of the line cord
(Figure 1).

Plug the smaller end of the power cord into the POWER
jack on the back of the system. Plug the power cord into an
electrical outlet that is not controlled by a light switch.
