Alarm Cleaning, Storage and Battery Maintenance
Cleaning
Magnet Cord and alarm housing (exterior ONLy)
Dampen (but DO NOT soak) a clean cloth with disinfectant. To reduce the risk of damage,
NEVER:
• Use any cleaning substance that contains Phenol or Benzyl;
• Immerse in liquid; or
• Sterilize with heat.
Use a clean, dRY cloth to dry all parts.
Storage
• This device is designed for use in normal indoor environments.
• This device may be stored in ambient warehouse temperatures at normal humidity levels (10 to 50%).
Avoid excess moisture or high humidity that may damage product materials (greater than 90%).
disposal
Dispose of per facility policy. Be sure to follow all laws that apply.
General Cleaning
1. For general cleaning, a soft cloth or cotton swabs are best.
2. DO NOT use sprays or liquids that may damage battery contacts.
3. Tilt case DOWN and use liquid cleaners sparingly. Make sure liquid does not get into main section of
alarm case.
4. Make sure compartment is completely dry before inserting fresh batteries.
Battery Compartment
Battery Leakage. If there is aNy evidence of battery leakage, remove the alarm from
use and notify the appropriate facility authority. The alarm should be disposed of according to your
facility disposal requirements. DO NOT use the alarm and DO NOT attempt to clean it if there are
any signs of battery leakage such as corrosion, rust or white powder residue.
DO NOT allow batteries to deplete while in the alarm. Change batteries immediately
when hearing the low battery “chirp.” Depleted batteries may leak and corrode, causing damage to
the electronics and reliability. When storing the alarm with power “on”, check the alarm every week
to make sure the batteries are still operable and the alarm is still on. If the alarm low battery alert is
chirping, or the alarm does not power up, the batteries are depleted and must be removed. DO NOT
leave depleted (“dead”) batteries in the alarm to avoid corrosion.
Remove batteries when storing the alarm for an extended period to prevent depleting the batteries
and potential corrosion.
