Installing the Battery
Place thumb on the arrow engraved on the battery compartment lid on the back of the monitor and press down firmly in
the direction of the arrow to slide the lid off. Insert a fresh, new 9V alkaline battery into the battery compartment making
sure to observe proper battery polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). When the battery is properly installed,
slide the lid back into place.
The monitor is mounted to either a chair or bed using the clip on the back of the monitor or using the optional Universal
Mounting Bracket or Chair Strap. Place the magnetic disk from the pull string to the metallic disk on the front of the
monitor and attach the locking clip to the resident’s garment at the top of the shoulder or back of the neck. The length of
the cord needs to be determined by how far you want the monitored person to be able to move before activating the
alarm. Use the Cord Length Adjuster to adjust the length of the cord. The clip has a locking tab which must be folded
down to open the clip. When the clip is attached, the tab should be flipped up to prevent easy removal by the patient.
When the resident moves beyond the length of the cord, the disk pulls from the monitor and the alarm sounds.
Adjust the volume level by using the
Volume Switch
on the side of the monitor. Select either a
Hi
or
Lo
volume.
For added protection for the monitor, an optional cushion protector may be purchased.

To Check Battery Level
The red light on the front is marked LOW BATTERY. To check the battery level, detach the magnet from the face of the
monitor. You will hear the alarm sound. If the battery is low, the LOW BATTERY light will flash. Replace the battery
immediately.
