Can I use batteries as a back up if the mains cuts out on the Autodoor?

When the mains lead is plugged in, the battery compartment is disconnected. This means the control panel will not take power from the batteries if the mains power cut out as it does not recognise the battery compartment. We recommend not having batteries inside the control panel if you choose to use mains power. 

Whilst having batteries inside the control panel whilst the mains is plugged in will not affect how the control panel works, if you leave the batteries inside, they are not in use and could become expired and cause damage to the control panel if they exploded or leaked.
