Read and follow these Installation Instructions, particularly
the Warnings and Cautions, before using your Alerta Detect
Motion sensor. Failure to do so may result in injury or death to
a person in your care.
Use your monitor in conjunction with your facility’s fall
prevention program. Alerta Alarm monitors are not a
substitute for proper nursing care. The effectiveness of
the Alerta system relies on an immediate response by the
caregiver to the monitor’s alarm.
The Alerta Alarm monitor will not stop a person from leaving
a bed, chair, wheelchair or room. It is intended only to
alert a caregiver that a person may need assistance. Other
interventions may still be required for some people.
The Alerta Detect Motion sensor can be defeated by a
cognitively aware person with only a few moments of lucidity
or an uncooperative person. Properly assess each individual
before the Alerta Alarm system is used.
When the low battery light is on, replace the batteries
immediately. Use only 1.5V AA alkaline batteries. The Alerta
monitor does not recharge batteries. Check for low battery
before every use.
Check for suitable use with each individual before the
Alertamat Detect system is used.
If the cord is unplugged from the call system and the Alerta
Detect is not connected to the wireless alarm, the Alerta
monitor will not alarm.

that the bracket mount is secure. If the mount is not secure, the
monitor may be damaged.
Use care when connecting or disconnecting the Alerta Alarm
monitor to the nurse call system. Gently remove or connect plugs.
Pulling on the cord may damage it and result in system failure.
The Alerta Detect is designed to withstand normal wear and tear
for a period 1 year. Beyond this time, this monitor may fail without
warning due to prolonged use and other factors, e.g. exposure to
moisture, repeated cord pulls, connector damage, etc.
Do not emerge in liquid, or use the monitor if it has been
immersed in liquid. Discard the monitor if exposed to liquids.

alarm monitor.
