Replacing the batteries
The app will notify you when your Hive Radiator Valve’s batteries need to be replaced. You
can also check this by tapping the button below the screen – if the screen remains blank or
shows a battery symbol in the corner then the batteries need to be replaced with two new AA
batteries.
You can easily replace the batteries without removing the Hive Radiator Valve from the
radiator:
1. Rotate the whole valve anti-clockwise until the screen faces away from you and the
tab is visible, then depress the tab.
2. While keeping the tab depressed, slide the casing off.
3. Rotate the valve anti-clockwise to access the batteries and replace them with two
new AA batteries.
4. Rotate the valve anti-clockwise until you can see the screen again. When you tap the
button, the screen will light up and show your chosen temperature.
5. Slide the cover back on, taking care to line the window up with the screen.
We recommend using alkaline AA batteries. You should not use rechargeable batteries
because battery life will be greatly reduced.
If you don’t replace your Hive Radiator Valve’s batteries, when they get critically low the
valve will set itself partly open to ensure that the room gets some warmth whenever the
heating is on.
