How to Use the Unit:
1. Attachment to a wheelchair: Magnetic Alarm
is supplied with a holster for attaching the unit to
a wheelchair. Insert the strap in the holster and
hang on push handle of wheelchair. Figure 3
2. Attachment to the bed:
a. For a more secure attachment, use the
mounting screws included to secure the
holster to the headboard.

supplied for easy attachment of the unit to
any flat surface such as a headboard or the
side of a bed.
3. Place the Magnetic Sensor in the sensor area.
Turn on the unit by sliding the on/off switch to
“LO” (for low sound emission, 85dB) or “HI” (for
high sound emission, 95dB). Figure 1
4. Secure the Magnetic Sensor to the patient by
clipping the attached cord to the patient’s
clothes. Clip the cord to a piece of clothing the
patient is not likely to remove. The clip should
be located out of the patient’s reach, if possible.
Be sure that the long pull cord cannot
entangle or choke the patient. Use the Cord
Adjuster to adjust the length of the pull
cord. Figure 3
5. A pull on the cord from any direction will cause
the Magnetic Sensor to release from the sensor
area to sound the alarm. The alarm will sound in
a cycle of approximately 3 seconds on, 2
seconds off to minimize annoyance to the
patient and surrounding occupants.
6. Stop the alarm either by replacing the Magnetic
Sensor or turning the unit off with the on/off
switch.

#74836 AliMe AliMed® Magnetic Alarm
AliMed® Magnetic Alarm helps prevent falls and improves safety by alerting caregivers
when a person attempts to exit a wheelchair or bed without assistance. A pull on the cord
from any direction will dislodge the Magnetic Sensor and activate the alarm. Attaches easily
to a wheelchair with included holster and strap, or attaches to a bedside or headboard with
included hook and loop fastener strip or mounting screws.
Test Battery Strength:
1. Turn the unit on. Remove the Magnetic Sensor
for an audio verification of alarm sound.
2. Press the Battery Check Button and observe
the brightness of the LED indicator to assess
the battery strength. As the light begins to dim,
replace battery immediately.
WARNING!
• Long pull cord can entangle the patient and
potentially be dangerous. Use with care and
supervision.
• As with all magnets, care should be taken when
this alarm is being used with a patient that has
an implanted device, such as a pacemaker or
defribrillator. Refer to the manufacturer of the
device in question for specific guidelines.
