FITTING BATTERIES AND INITIAL SETUP
First, undo the 4 screws on the front of the box and remove the lid. Install 4 x ‘C’ type alkaline, heavy duty batteries (suitable for
motorised devices and not rechargeable). Fit the snap connector to the battery box and ensure the batteries are seated correctly.
HenSafe will boot up and you will then see a display similar to that on page 1 which will time-out after 10-15 seconds.
Refit the lid, being careful not to over-tighten the screws and over-compress the seal – but tight enough to form a weather seal.
TIME SETUP. First you must set up the ACTUAL TIME OF DAY at your location (24 hour clock).
QUICK START: SETTING UP HenSafe TO OPERATE IN TIME MODE
