TRAINING: OPERATION AND TESTING OF EMERGENCY LIGHTS
HOW TO TEST It is important to test your emergency lights each month to ensure proper operation in the event of a power outage. Most devices have a small “push to test” button located on the casing. Next to the test button is an indicator light that signifies if it is connected to the electrical power. If it is connected, it will illuminate red. When testing emergency lights, hold the test button for 30 seconds. This will test both bulbs and the battery. The emergency light bulbs will illuminate and brightness should remain constant for the full 30 seconds. If the brightness dims within the 30 seconds or a bulb does not light at all, it is time to replace the bulb(s) or battery.

HOW TO CHANGE THE BATTERY Remove the front casing; in most cases it pops off. Two wires (of different colors) are connected to the battery, one is positive and the other is negative. The battery is held in the casing by a velcro strap. Pull the strap and remove the battery. When disconnecting the old battery, simply tug on the connector (not the wire) to disconnect power, then reconnect the new battery. Place the casing back on the front and click into place.
