Fitting the tear-off cord
The tear-off cord is connected to the tear-off contact, see section „Triggering the
Tear-off alarm“ (p. 116). If the radio set detaches from your clothing or is forcefully
torn off, the tear-off cord is designed to open the tear-off contact and trigger a loss
alarm.
Affix the free end of the tear-off cord to a suitable spot of your clothing near the radio
set. Ensure that the cord will neither be in your way as you work nor become a
hazard, e.g. by potentially coming into contact with rotating machine parts.
Affixing the radio set to your clothing
You should affix your radio set securely to your clothing directly after the sensor test.
To do so, use the clip or a carry bag.
Choose a suitable carrying position. Please bear in mind:
You must be able to reach all keys of your radio set reliably at any time.
The position alarm and the no-motion alarm must be reliably triggered in case of
an alarm.
The radio set must not come off your clothing by mistake.
If a loss alarm has been activated on your radio set (FT5 only), then take note
whether the carry case in use supports the loss alarm triggering function. If neces-
sary, consult your system specialist supplier or our company.
TIP
While affixing the radio set, hold it vertically and move it, so that a position or no-
motion (man down) alarm is not triggered.
