OneVue monitors the battery level of Analog Clocks. During each connection to the Sync Bluetooth mesh network, the clock's current battery level is received by a Bridge, which is then sent to OneVue.

Clock in a Warning state with Low Battery status: Batteries should be replaced promptly to maintain clock performance and reduce risk of battery leakage due to excess discharge.

Battery use requirements

Battery life expectancy is based on common operating conditions and may vary due to installed site conditions and settings. Sync Bluetooth battery-operated clocks and repeaters have up to a five-year battery life.

  • Use high-quality, name brand alkaline batteries

  • Use batteries with expiration date five or more years beyond the installation date

  • Use new batteries of the same type and date code

  • Do not use heavy-duty or zinc-carbon batteries, as they will not last as long as alkaline batteries

  • Do not use rechargeable NiCad batteries, as their output voltage is too low to assure proper operation

  • Do not use lithium batteries

Replace analog clock batteries

Configuration settings are retained during battery replacement.

  1. If mounted, dismount the clock from the wall to access the back of the clock.

  2. Remove its batteries and wait 10 seconds.

  3. Insert new alkaline batteries into the battery holder as specified; verify correct polarity.

    The clock automatically resets its time.
