User Guide
®
The maximum operating separation (range) between the Base Station and
Turtle is typically 200 feet (60 meters).This will vary from home to home
due to differences in blockage and radio interference.
®
If you purchase more than one Turtle wristband, keep the extra Baby Turtle
plug(s) and key(s) as spares.
The Safety Turtle alarm system has two modes of operation: Active Mode and
Test Mode. It also has a Fault Condition to alert you if the system detects a
problem with one of its components.
®
ACTIVE MODE is the normal mode for Safety Turtle.The green light is on
and the amber light is off. If a Turtle of the same color as the Baby Turtle plug
is immersed in water, a loud siren sound will be produced and the amber
light will flash on and off.The alarm volume can be reduced by pressing the
moon-shaped button on the Base Station.The alarm will then stop completely
a few seconds after the Turtle has been towel dried.
®
TEST MODE is provided for convenient testing of Safety Turtle.To enter
Test Mode, press the moon-shaped button on the Base Station.The amber
light will turn on. If a Turtle of the same color as the Baby Turtle plug is
immersed in water, the Base Station will emit a slow beeping sound and the
amber light will flash on and off.The test beep indicates that the Safety Turtle
alarm system is operating properly.To return to Active Mode, remove the
Turtle from the water, towel dry, then press the button when the beeping
stops. For safety reasons, the Base Station will also automatically
return to Active Mode 15 minutes after Test Mode is entered.
®
FAULT CONDITION is entered if the Base Station detects an opera-
tional problem such as the Baby Turtle not being inserted correctly or AC
power being incorrect.The Base Station will emit a rapid beeping sound and
the green light will flash on and off. Do not use when in Fault Condition.
For more information, see the Troubleshooting section. Fault Condition
does not detect all possible faults – always follow the instructions
given in the Daily Use and Testing section.
