compartment
door open.
Insert four (4) new “AA” alkaline batteries as pictured
inside the battery compartment.
Note: The alarm will “chirp” about every 15 seconds
when new batteries are needed. Fresh alkaline batteries
have an estimated life of 30 days of daily use. Actual life
depends on alarm mode, tone, and volume you select.
DO NOT mix old and new batteries, or battery brands.
ALWAYS install four (4) fresh “AA” alkaline batteries of the
same brand. DO NOT use the alarm if there are any signs of
corrosion on the batteries or in the battery compartment.
With the sensor connected to the alarm, slide the power
switch on the back of the alarm to “ON”.
Note: If there is no sensor connected when the alarm is
on, the alarm will sound as a failsafe.
Note: The HOLD feature will not work unless a sensor
is plugged into the alarm. The HOLD feature allows 30
seconds to reposition the patient without the need to
turn the alarm off. Press the HOLD/SUSPEND button for 1
second. The HOLD/SUSPEND LED will begin flashing RED
at 3-second intervals. To take the alarm out of HOLD:
• Apply weight to sensor, or
• Press HOLD/SUSPEND button once.
Alarm will “beep” once to indicate monitoring has resumed.
NOTE: The SUSPEND feature will not work unless a sensor
is plugged into the alarm. The SUSPEND feature is indicated
when extended patient care is required. This feature allows
you additional time to perform that care without activating
the alarm. Press the HOLD/SUSPEND button for 3 seconds.
The HOLD/SUSPEND LED will begin flashing RED at ½
second intervals. To take the alarm out of SUSPEND:
• Apply weight to sensor, or
• Press HOLD/SUSPEND button once.
Alarm will “beep” once to indicate monitoring has resumed.
