Deterring removal of the TABS
®
unit from the bracket
In the event the TABS unit is removed from the slide lock bracket or
tampered with by residents or other non-authorized people, you may
wish to make it more difficult to remove the TABS monitor from the
bracket. This can be accomplished by breaking off the lower portion of
the release tab. Once the release tab has been removed, a pen or
similarly shaped object carried by staff will need to be inserted into the
release catch before you can slide the TABS unit out of the bracket.
1. If the bracket has already been installed, remove it from the wall.
2. Firmly hold the upper portion of the release tab with one hand.
3. The release tab is scored with a mark
(Figure 11).
Carefully
position pliers along the lower side of the score mark.
4. Bend the tab backward until it breaks off
(Figure 12).
Testing the TABS mobility monitor
Test your TABS
®
mobility monitor before each use to ensure that it is
working properly. Failure to do so may result in injury to a person in
your care.
Before each use, test your TABS mobility monitor.
1. Remove the disk from the disk slot. Listen for the alarm to sound.
2. Reinsert the disk into the disk slot, and the alarm should stop. If
you hear the low battery alert (a low chirping sound) replace the
battery immediately.
