System Operation

You should now have the monitor installed in the bed, and the pager turned on
and receiving the Safelink® signal every 8 seconds. Indicated by the red Monitor
LED blip on the pager.

If  the  pager  stops  receiving  the  failsafe  radio  signal  from  the  monitor,  the
pager’s Monitor LED will be permanently lit and an intermittent alarm tone will
sound.

If  the  monitor’s  battery  gets  low  the  pager’s  Monitor  LED  will  flash  every
second, to indicate that you should now change the battery in the monitor. (see
page 11).

If the monitor now detects any excessive movements in the bed for a period
greater than 15 seconds the monitor will enter its alarm mode.

(This  15  second  Time  Delay  is  programmable  using  the  provided  software,
contact Alert-it for support).

Alarm Mode

When prolonged movements are detected, the Alarm LED on the pager will light
up, it will make an audible alarm and will vibrate.

Pressing the Pair/Mute button will temporarily mute the alarm tone and stop
the pager vibrating for 5 minutes.

A minute after the spasm activity has ceased, the pager will resume the alarm
state,  pressing  the  Pair/Mute  button  again  will  clear  the  pager  (If  previously
muted, this will be the second press).

The monitor is set to send an alarm signal continuously (every 10 seconds) while
spasm  activity  continues.  The  monitor  will  send  an  ‘all  clear’  signal,  when  at
least 1 minute has passed spasm free. At this point the pager will continue to
display an Alarm LED, even after the ‘all clear’ has been received, up until the
Pair/Mute button is pressed.

Always check the user even if the alarm has cleared.
