Preparing the KeepSafe Essential for Use (Cont.)
•
Take care when installing new batteries. The alarm will not
work if batteries are installed improperly.
•
ALWAYS install a completely new set of batteries when the
chirping due to low battery power sound begins. DO NOT
replace a single cell, but all cells in the alarm. DO NOT mix old
and new batteries, or battery brands within a battery pack
(4 batteries). Use of mixed batteries or batteries installed
incorrectly may cause battery damage, and may damage
the alarm. Remove any alarm from use and send to the
appropriate facility authority if batteries are damaged or
corroded or the battery compartment has signs of previous
battery corrosion such as white powder residue.
•
Batteries can explode or leak and cause damage to alarm if
installed incorrectly, fully discharged, or exposed to liquid, fire
or high temperatures. If battery damage has occurred, or you
see any corrosion, remove the alarm from use IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT use the alarm if battery damage has been detected.
•
After changing batteries, test the alarm and magnet for
proper operation prior to putting in service with a patient/
resident, and each time before leaving the patient/resident
unattended. If the alarm and/or magnet do not function
properly, remove the alarm and magnet from service and
replace them with a properly functioning alarm.
