Positioning and Setup
Press and release the “Test” button on the front of the monitor to enter the 60 second test mode.
Temporarily place the monitor under the mattress without any xings.
The monitor performs best if placed beneath the user. However, due to the wide variety of bed types and
mattresses, it is advisable to test the units positioning before securing it into place.
If movement isn’t detected due to the mattress thickness or density, the foam provide is designed to enhance
the sensitivity.
This is used to enhance the sensitivity of the 3 settings available if you require the Companion Mini to detect small
tremors associated with the seizure. Please use the sticky pads provided and secure the foam block to the bottom
of the Companion mini, place the unit under the mattress in a central location and test by simulating the seizure.
For an example of the seizure presentations discussed above, please see a video which was recorded in a clinical
simulation on our YouTube Channel “Alert iT Care Alarms”.
If required, the base can be screwed to the bed through the holes in the base (screws not provided) if foam
not required.
If a suitable position (place to detect movements) cannot be found, the sensitivity may need to be increased
slightly by connecting the monitor (mini) to a PC and making adjustments with the software provided Online

As default the monitor detects any excessive movements in the bed for a period greater than 15 seconds.
This 15 second Time Delay is programmable using the provided software.
