Battery Message

My Orbi Voice has begun annoucing "battery low".  But as far as I know there is no battery. I do not beleive my Orbi RBR50 router and satellite have batteries either.  Any ideas on why my Orbi voice would issue such a warning?

Re: Battery Message

Correct. No batteries in Orbi's.

 

We started hearing "Low Battery... Low Battery" and took a while to realize it was a cordless phone.

 

I only use one Alexa skill on my Orbi Voice ("play...")  Could it be Alexa announcing that some device in the house has a low battery?

 That's exactly what it was.  There is also a Panasonic cordless sitting on the credenza with the ringer and annoucemnts turned off.  Never hear anything from that phone unless we use it. I realized the annoucement was occurring at the top of every hour so I laid in wait. We also have Nest fire/smoke/CO2 alarms and thought maybe they were pushing out the warning.        Ding, it  was the phone!    Thank you for the reply CrimpOn!
