Battery Back-up Installation Instructions
Your Sidekick II Receiver does not come with the battery back-up pre-installed at the factory
unless requested when ordered. If you purchased the battery back-up, following the installa-
tion directions below.
The battery compartment door is secured by one screw. To gain access to the battery com-
partment remove the screw (pg 5). Plug the female connector from the battery pack onto the
male connector pin in the battery compartment. Be sure to line up the pins with the holes in
the connector. It will only fit one way. Replace the battery compartment door and secure the
screw.
You will notice and On/Off switch on the right hand bottom corner of the battery compart-
ment door (pg 5). With the battery back-up installed and the back-up switch turn to the
“ON” position, the Sidekick II’s blue light (AC power indicator) will turn to an amber color
when the unit goes into back-up mode because of a power failure. Turning the battery back-
up power switch to “OFF” will turn off the battery back-up to the receiver and the clock. It
is important that the battery back-up feature be turned “ON” for proper operation.
The Ni-Cad battery is intended to keep the Sidekick II operational during a short term power
outage for several hours without the strobe or vibrator operating. If both strobe and vibrator
are operating, the battery back-up will operate the system for approximately 10 minutes. The
battery back-up is automatically being charged when the Sidekick II power supply is plugged
into a standard electrical wall outlet.
The BATTERY ICON will display itself on the LCD screen once the battery back-up level
has reached 2/3 of its discharge. However, the BATTERY ICON will not be displayed until
this condition is reached. When the Amber LED is on but the BATTERY ICON is not dis-
played on the screen, this means that the battery is at a full or close to full charge.
