To perform other operations, the user must return the FDU to manual mode. For more
information, please refer to

3.4 Battery
Back-up
The FDU can operate for up to 8 hours without external power, using its internal
rechargeable battery back-up. The FDU switches to the battery back-up automatically
when external power is interrupted. When the battery back-up is too low, the FDU will
shut itself down to prevent any operations and it must be plugged into an AC outlet in
order to resume operation. Before shutting down, the Power indicator, (top right corner
indicator) will flash to indicate that the FDU voltage level is low.
NOTE: When the Power indicator flashes, immediately stop using the FDU and
connect the FDU to its external power supply to recharge it. In the event the
unit stops responding y recharging the battery pack in a short time-frame
will restore the system settings, including time.
When the FDU is operating via the external power supply, the “external power supply
connected” indicator
(see Section 3.2.3.1 – Status Line:)
appears at the far right of the
status line. When running on internal batteries, the “running on battery” indicator
(see
Section 3.2.3.1 – Status Line:)
will appear at the far right of the status line. When
possible, the FDU should always be powered using the accompanying power supply to
ensure reliable operation. Operation under battery power should be limited only to certain
situations, such as: lock programming, printing of the audit or encoding of Staff keycards
in management offices (away from the Front Desk power supply), or for remote
registration of tour or convention groups on a bus, etc.
IMPORTANT:
Never remove both the AC power and the battery pack from the
FDU. If the battery is removed from the FDU and the system is not
connected to the AC power supply, the settings of the FDU will be
lost. Power can only be restored to the system with the AC power
supply, which will reset the system back to the factory default
settings. If this occurs there is a high probability that
synchronization problems will exist with other FDUs and locks on
the property. For assistance if this situation occurs please contact
Kaba Technical Support.
