Wireless Nurse Call Box

The AW-NCB4100(W) ODIN Care wireless nurse call box is a battery powered,
wireless control signal, low prole, surface mount nurse call box. Because it
is wireless, this call box can be installed in a variety of locations without the
expense of cabling. This nurse call box becomes part of the ODIN Care system
infrastructure and is an initiator that provides activation and deactivation of
the ODIN Care system. The AW-NCB4100(W) is white in color and has a gray
faceplate label. Status LED’s are located in the upper left-hand corner of the
call box and provide easy visual conrmation of the call box status.
Product Summary
This manual should be read to ensure that the user understands the
operation of the AW-NCB4100(W).

Call Box Functions
The AW-NCB4100(W) is designed to be used in a wide variety of applications
and the means of activating the call box are as follows:
Large Blue Button Press
Will activate the call box primary alarm transmission. This large button is easy
to see and easy to activate. Press the large blue button and the call box will
initiate its wireless alarm transmission.
Pull Cord Activation
All AW-NCB4100(W) are equipped with a pull cord installation option. Simply
connect an appropriate pull cord to the “pull string” pig tail located at the bottom
of the call box. Pulling the pull cord will activate the primary alarm transmission.
Dual Bed Cord Functionality
The AW-NCB4100(W) call box can independently accommodate up to two
bedside call cords. These cords connect to the nurse call box with magnetic
breakaway modules. These magnetic breakaway modules provide a cord
release mechanism that prevents damage to the call box or cord if pulled
aggressively from the call box.
Bed Cord Port One
The left port of the call box will activate the primary alarm transmission.
Bed Cord Port Two
The right port of the call box will activate the secondary alarm transmission.
If a bed cord is pulled from the call box, the call box will activate as if the button
has been pressed. The call box will not be able to be reset until the bed cord
and breakaway module have been reinstalled into the appropriate magnetic
breakaway port.
Note: If bed cords are not used with the nurse call box, port jumper plugs must
be installed in the unused magnetic breakaway ports of the call box.
Small Orange Button Press
On the front of the call box is a dual-purpose orange button. Its functions are as
follows:
Reset Button
To reset an active call box, simply press the orange reset button. The LED’s will
ash green if a successful reset has been initiated.
Resident Check-In Feature
If utilized, the resident check-in feature is activated by pressing the reset button
when the call box is idle. Doing so will cause the status LED’s to ash yellow
and will initiate a resident check-in transmission from the call box. This feature
must be activated within the ODIN Care system.

mounting hole locations. The call box inserts at the top
of the mounting bracket and slides down to lock into
place. When installing the bracket, make sure the
mounting bracket release tab is at the bottom.

Battery Replacement
Remove the call box from the mounting bracket. Firmly press the rear housing
release button while gently pulling outward on the bottom rear housing cover
of the call box. When the release button is pressed far enough inward, the rear
housing cover will release and hinge open. The rear cover will hinge at the top
of the call box.
This will expose the internal electronics of the call box. The battery is located
near the center of the call box and can easily be replaced at this time.
Note: When replacing the battery, pay close attention to the battery polarity.
There is a large ‘+’ and large ‘–’ located on the circuit board that identies the
proper battery polarity. Install the ‘+’ side of the battery to the ‘+’ side of the
battery holder.
Note: The battery is a 3.6 volt lithium battery. The correct battery replacement
must be used. Even though the battery is the same size as an alkaline AA
battery, an alkaline battery WILL NOT work in this call box.
Multi-Function LED Indicator Lights
No LED illumination – call box is idle
Single red ash – once per second, to indicate an active primary alarm (bed
port 1, pull cord, or button press activation)
Two short red ashes – two per second, to indicate an active secondary alarm
(bed port 2)
Three short red ashes – three per second, to indicate that both primary and
secondary alarms are active
Three green ashes – when pressing the reset button of an active call box to
provide clear conrmation to the respondent that the call box has been ‘cleared’
and returned to an idle condition.
Three yellow ashes – to provide acknowledgment to the resident that the

Call Box Cleaning Recommendations
Never use strong cleaning chemicals to clean the surface area of two-
way radios or call boxes. Some examples would be: acetone, bleach,
window cleaner, degreasers, hand sanitizers, nail polish remover or like
products. Referencing the above cleaning procedures; Advanced Wireless
Communications, Inc. does NOT imply that any of these cleaning procedures
provided is e󰀨ective in removing or killing potential contaminants or viruses from
the radio surface. Rather, these recommendations are intended to provide the
radio user with acceptable alternatives for a cleaner physical environment.
Preferred Cleaning Method –
Use a warm, damp cloth (water only) to wipe all surface areas of the call box.
The cloth should be damp only, not dripping water. Never hold the call box
under a running water faucet or submerge in water. After wiping, if moisture is
seen on the surface of the call box, wipe with a dry cloth to speed drying.
Acceptable Cleaning in Moderation –
Use a mild dish soap and warm water mix, thoroughly submerge the cloth in the
soap and water solution. Remove the cloth and wring all water out of the cloth.
The cloth should be damp only, not dripping. Never hold the call box under a
running water faucet or submerge in water. Wipe all surface areas of the call
box. After wiping, if moisture is seen on the surface of the call box, wipe with a
dry cloth to speed drying.
Aggressive Cleaning Method –
Note: Over time, this method can cause undesirable cosmetic e󰀨ects to the
label and adhesive areas. It can also cause discoloration to plastics.
Use an over the counter, 75% Isopropyl alcohol concentration to dampen a
cloth. Damp only, not dripping alcohol. Wipe all surface areas of the call box.
Alcohol residue will dry quickly.
NEVER apply the 75% Isopropyl alcohol directly to the surface area of the
