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.

Backup battery performance

When the supplied battery is installed

in the backup battery, you can expect

the following operating time in the

event of a power outage.

Compatible

devices*1

Operating

time*2

Hub (KX-HNB600) 1.5 hours

(standby,

connected to 4

cameras, not

connected to a

Wi-Fi® network)

Indoor Camera

(KX-HNC200)

2.0 hours

(standby)

1.5 hours

(standby, when

night vision

mode is active)

Outdoor Camera

(KX-HNC600)

Indoor Siren

(KX-HNS105)

7 hours

(standby)

*1 At the time of printing. Additional

compatible devices may become

available at a later date.

*2 All times are approximate.

Power outage

notification by phone

In the event of a power outage, the

backup battery can trigger the hub to

call a pre-programmed phone number

and notify you of the power outage. In

order to use this feature, the following

items are required.

– The hub must be connected to your

landline (refer to the System Setup

Guide included with the hub).

– The backup battery must be

registered to the hub (page 14).

– You must use the [Home Network]

app to program the phone number

that will be called in the event of a

power outage. For more information,

refer to the User’s Guide

(page 15).

8For assistance, visit www.panasonic.ca/english/support

General product information

HNP100C_(en_en)_0729_ver.030.pdf 8 2015/07/29 14:11:25

– The hub must be able to make calls

using your landline even if there is a

power outage. If your landline phone

service requires a modem or other

device to make phone calls (typically

this is the case for landline phone

service provided by cable company,

Internet service provider, VoIP

service provider, etc.), and if that

device does not contain its own

backup battery, the hub will not be

able to make calls in the event of a

power outage.

Power outage

notification to your

mobile device

In the event of a power outage, the

backup battery can trigger the hub to

send a notification to the [Home

Network] app. In order to use this

feature, the following items are

required.

– The backup battery must be

registered to the hub (page 14).

– You must use the [Home Network]

app to enable the desired

notifications. For more information,

refer to the User’s Guide

(page 15).

– To receive power outage

notifications, the hub must be able to

access the Internet even if there is a

power outage. This means that your

wireless router and any other

devices that are used when

accessing the Internet (cable

modem, network hubs, etc.) must

also have their own backup power

supplies*1, otherwise the hub cannot

send notifications to the [Home

Network] app in the event of a

power outage.

*1 The KX-HNP100 Backup Battery

cannot supply power to these

devices. A third-party backup

power supply is required.

Wireless

communication

range

The wireless communication range of

each device in the system from the hub

is approximately 50 m (160 feet)

indoors and approximately 300 m

(1,000 feet) outdoors. Wireless

communication may be unreliable

when the following obstacles are

located between the hub and other

devices.

– 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 different

buildings

Note:

RThe LED indicator lights in red if it is

out of range of the hub. In this case,

confirm all connections, including

those of the hub.

amount of backup power, we

recommend you keep it connected

to a power outlet at all times.
