Warnings and Cautions
•
Make sure it is safe to drill and there are no pipes or electrical wires
that could be damaged when using screws to attach the wall mount
bracket.
•
NEVER place alarm closer than two feet from patient’s/resident’s ear.
Doing so may cause hearing loss or other injury. For more information,
see: OSHA OCCUPATIONAL NOISE EXPOSURE STANDARDS 1910.95.
•
ALWAYS check to ensure staff can hear alarm at the furthest possible
distance before leaving patient/resident unattended.
•
When monitoring with cord and magnet:
– A “false alarm” may occur if cord is too short.
– If cord is too long, patient/resident may be able to move out of the
“safety zone” without alarm activating.
•
Before each use, check that:
– Alarm is securely mounted out of the patient’s/resident’s reach and
functions properly by activating alarm.
– Indicator lights are in clear view of staff.
•
Do not mix old and new batteries or battery brands. This may cause
rupture or leakage and damage alarm.
•
DO NOT allow batteries to deplete while in the alarm. Change
batteries immediately when hearing the low battery “chirp.” Depleted
batteries may leak and corrode, causing damage to the electronics
and reliability. When storing the alarm with power “on”, check the
alarm every week to make sure the batteries are still operable and
the alarm is still on. If the alarm low battery alert is chirping, or the
alarm does not power up, the batteries are depleted and must be
removed. DO NOT leave depleted (“dead”) batteries in the alarm to
avoid corrosion.
