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 for a short period
with power “on” to maintain custom voice messages and settings, 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.
