General information
about 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
to 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.
