Trouble Shooting

If your system does not function when tested, follow these steps:

1) Verify that you are using a fully charged battery, if the battery

is low, the low battery light on the face of the monitor will

flash, and the monitor will emit a short beep. If this occurs,

immediately replace with a new battery. The warning light will

stop flashing, and the short beep will stop. NEVER use the

device when the battery is low.

2) If using the AC adapter, verify that it is properly plugged in to

both the unit and the wall.

3) Check that the pad is plugged securely into the monitor.

4) On Economy Pad Alarms, verify that the on/off switch on the

monitor is in the ON position.

5) Determine which piece of equipment may need to be replaced

by either:

a) Taking a known working monitor and connecting it to the bed/

chair pad; if the system works properly, the problem is with

the original monitor

b) Taking a known working bed/chair pad and connecting it to

the monitor; if the system works properly, the problem is with

the original bed/chair pad.

• WARNING – If these troubleshooting tips do not resolve

the problem, immediately take the Alarm/Alert out of service,

substitute another working Alarm/Alert, and contact Direct Supply

Equipment & Furnishings.

• WARNING – Some generic 9V batteries have non-standard

terminal spacing that may cause interference problems in the

battery compartment. If you have problems inserting the battery

into the battery compartment, or if the alarm fails to sound with

a battery inserted, verify the brand of the 9V battery being used,

and replace with a name-brand battery if appropriate.

release the record button. The alarm will then play back the

message you recorded.

Step 5: TEST SYSTEM

• Apply pressure to the pad to activate the sensor device. The

monitor will beep twice.

• The monitor is now active. The "In Use" light will blink every 3

seconds to indicate that pressure has been applied

to the pad. Monitor will alarm/alert when pressure

is removed from the pad.

• When the Alarm/Alert is active press the "Reset"

button. This will deactivate the Alarm/Alert. Apply

pressure to the pad to reactivate the Alarm/Alert.

Step 6: ALWAYS TEST THE DEVICE AND CHECK THE BATTERY

LEVEL BEFORE USE

• To check battery level: The low-battery indicator

light on the face of the monitor is marked LOW

the Alarm/Alert will emit a short beep and the Low

will continue to blink, and the Alert will "chirp." If this occurs,

immediately replace the pad and press the "Reset" button. The

"Change Pad" light will turn off and the Alert will stop "chirping."

heard at the nurses' station.
