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) Check that the magnet is securely plugged into the device.

• WARNING – If these troubleshooting tips do not resolve

the problem, immediately take the alarm out of service,

substitute another working alarm, 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.

Directions for Use

Step 1: Place the magnet end of the cord assembly

on the metallic disk on the face of the monitor.

Step 2: Insert 9V battery (not included) into

battery compartment.

Step 3: Attach the device to a wheelchair, chair or

bed using the strap, optional Bed Rail Clip (#92457)

or optional Wheelchair Clip (#97132).

Step 4: Attach the alligator clip to the resident's garment.

Step 5: Adjust the length of the cord according to the

placement of the device on the wheelchair, chair or

bed. This is done with the Cord Length Adjuster.

• WARNING: Make sure that the adjustable cord is

placed in a manner so that the resident is not at risk of

strangulation or getting entangled in the cord, and that

the resident cannot tamper with monitor or reach the

"Reset" button.

Step 6: Adjust the string, allowing the resident to

move naturally before the alarm is activated. If the

resident moves beyond that distance, the magnet

detaches from the face of the unit from any angle,

producing an audible tone to cue the resident to sit

back down, and alerts the caregiver that a resident

may be at risk of falling. If possible, test the cord length by asking

the resident to lean forward a comfortable distance.

Step 7: To adjust the volume, open the battery compartment

in the back of the monitor to access the controls. Adjust the volume

switch to HI (loud) or LO (soft) depending on the caregiver's needs.

Step 8: Always test and check the battery before use.

To check battery level: The low-battery

indicator light on the face of the monitor is

marked LOW BATTERY. When the battery

needs to be replaced, the alarm will emit a

short beep, and the Low Battery light will flash

once every 3 seconds.

• WARNING: Check battery level before every use.

Step 9: To connect the magnet alarm (Deluxe version only) to an

existing Nurse Call System: Plug one end of the optional Nurse

Call System Cable (#94572) into the

⁄

" jack labeled NURSE CALL

on the bottom of the monitor, and the other end into the Nurse

Call

⁄

" system receptacle. Check to ensure that when the alarm

sounds, it is heard at the nurses' station.

In order for the device to alert your caregivers that a resident

wishes to get out of their bed or chair, you must have the full,

functioning and connected alarm system (device and cord)

connected to a compatible nurse call system.

• WARNING

This device could interrupt the function of a pacemaker if held

in direct contact with a pacemaker. For your residents' safety,

it is recommended that the magnet is kept 2" away from any

pacemaker insertion site.
