Suggested check-in interval: 60 seconds
* To extend battery life, actual check-in interval is about two-and-
one-half times the programmed value.
If desired, the FA203 can be screw-mounted to a fixed surface.
Drill through-holes (.200" max diameter) in the back housing
cover in locations indicated.
Wood screws used to mount the transmitter should be size #8 or
smaller.
Screw head height must be less than .150". Larger screw heads
may cause short-circuits on the unit.
Caution: Pendant Chain Safety
The beaded pendant chain is designed for user safety. The
chain will break when subjected to sudden or extended stress,
reducing potential injury to the wearer. In most cases, the
chain will separate at the connector, and can easily be re-
assembled by snapping the end bead back into the connector.
The chain can also be adjusted by cutting to the desired
length.
WARNING: Substitution of stronger cords or chains may
result in injury to the wearer.
