Preparing the KeepSafe Deluxe for Use

(Continued)

Storing Your KeepSafe Deluxe:

If you are storing the KeepSafe Deluxe for an extended period of time, you should turn the alarm off and

remove the batteries (see page 7). Batteries start to corrode after an extended period of time (just like

a flashlight). Corroded batteries will damage the alarm and may cause it not to function, or to function

intermittently (see page 27).

alWayS close the battery door during storage to prevent damage.

NOTE: after four (4) minutes without battery power, settings for tone and volume will revert to

factory default.

Store the alarm in a secure place so it will not be dropped or damaged. DO NOT use if; battery door

is missing; battery door is damaged; alarm case is damaged; or alarm case is cracked.

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.

The Posey KeepSafe Deluxe is an electronic device. it may fail to work if subjected to severe

shock, such as being dropped, or immersed in liquid. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, test the

alarm and sensor for proper operation prior to putting in service with a patient, and each time before

leaving the patient unattended. if the alarm and/or sensor do not function properly, remove the

alarm and sensor from service and replace them with a properly functioning alarm and/or sensor. DO

NOT use the alarm or sensor if it does not activate each time weight is removed from the sensor, the chair

belt sensor is unfastened, or the PiR sensor is activated (see pages 19-20).
