SafeKareTM
Alzheimer’s disease or different forms of Dementia can affect all who have to deal
with the care of individual family members stricken with this unfortunate condition.
A major problem in providing home care for patients, is knowing that the patient is
within the caregiving control area. All too often, for whatever reason, the patient
will leave the control area without the caregiver’s knowledge. This can be a
dangerous situation for the patient, as well as a frustrating problem for the
caregiver.
DT Communications Inc. has developed a simple method of alerting a busy
caregiver whenever the patient leaves a defined control area.
Our company has designed a unit that can be used both inside and outside the
home or caregiving facility. The unit will alert the caregiver if the patient leaves or
moves outside the range of the SafeKare™system.
DT COMM Inc. 2 Version 1.4

Congratulations on the purchase of your SafeKare™Caregiver Assistant. This
information sheet will guide you through the Quick Start setup and operation of your
SafeKare™system. Refer to your User’s Manual for details on setting up and
operating the caregiver system.
“DO NOT” power on the Caregiver Receiver CRU101A until the
battery has been charged. See Section 5 of the user’s manual for
help if necessary.

PB101APatient Badge Tag
The patient badge comes with a preinstalled
battery. The battery has not been factory
activated in order to preserve battery life. On
the backside of the badge, locate the circle
about ½ inches in diameter with the inscription
START located near the middle of the badge.
Hold the badge firmly with one hand and with
the other hand use a finger to press the circle
firmly for 6 to 7 seconds. The badge should
now be active and ready for use
Figure 5, PB101A Hanging Badge
1.6 System Learn Mode
Before the caregiver receiver can operate with the patient badge or fob, it must first learn
the badge or fob ID code. Place the badge or fob 2 – 3 feet away from the caregiver
receiver. Refer to figure 6. Turn on the caregiver receiver (refer to figure 1). Wait for
receiver to initialize, indicated when the two LED’s stop flashing. Locate the “Reset-Learn”
button on the caregiver receiver. Hold caregiver receiver in the upright position and press
down on the ‘Reset/Learn” button switch. Hold the button down until an audible beep is
heard from the caregiver receiver. Within 3 to 15 seconds a second audible sound (a long
beep) should be heard. This indicates the receiver has learned the badge/fob code. If the
receiver starts to alarm, repeat the learn function. If the alarm condition continues, consult
the Trouble shooting section of the User’s Manual

2 Using the SafeKare Caregiver System
A detailed description of using the CRU101A system is described in the User’s Manual. Refer
to the User’s Manual if you have any problems using the “Quick Start User Guide.” A short
system check of the receiver operating at different range settings is described in the next
section. For a detailed description see Section 6 of the User’s Manual. Note the locations
where the receiver starts to alarm as you move away from the badge or fob. This will be an
indication of how the unit will operate in your home environment.
2.1 Checking the System Range
Refer to Figure 1 for the following instructions. Turn the caregiver receiver on, and place the
badge or fob unit on a table or similar object. Set the switch located on the side of the
receiver to the “S” position (short range setting).
Walk very slowly away from the badge or fob and record the distance at which the caregiver
receiver begins to alarm (a short beep, followed by a continuous beep 12 seconds after the
short beep).
Switch the receiver to the “M” position (medium range setting). The beeping should stop
within 12 to 15 seconds. Continue moving
slowly away from the badge or fob. Again, record
the distance at which the caregiver receiver begins to alarm (a short beep).
Switch the receiver range to the “L” position (long range setting). The beeping should stop
in about 12 to 15 seconds. Continue walking
slowly away from the fob. Again, record the
distance at which the receiver alarms, a short “beep” followed by a “continuous beeping”
after 12 seconds. The receiver is now in full alarm mode.
DT COMM Inc. 8 Version 1.4

Walk back towards the badge/fob unit. The receiver should stop alarming when you are
approximately 50 feet away from the badge or fob.
It is important to move slowly during the test. The unit responds within a 12
second time period. If you move to quickly, you will not be able to get an
accurate measurement of the operating distance in your house or facility. The 12
second time delay is a requirement placed on the system by the FCC, but in a
practical sense, this delay cuts down on the number of receiver false alarms. This
time delay will not degrade the performance of the SafeKareTM System.

2.2 Placing the Badge or Fob Unit on the Patient
The range of the patient badge/fob is affected by how the patient fob or badge is worn. An
example of the various ways the badge or fob can be worn is shown in Figure 8. Note that
the badge or fob unit is always shown in the hanging position. Consult the User’s Manual for
more details.

After completing the range check, the caregiver unit is ready to use. To begin, it is
suggested that the unit be switched to the “M” (medium range setting). After you have
become familiar with using the caregiver system, you can make adjustments to suit your
environment
2.3 Ensuring Correct Usage of the SafeKare™System
Some tips on using the system to ensure the most effective usage.
 Never turn off the caregiver receiver when using the system.
 Charge the caregiver receiver at night, but keep it turned on if still monitoring a
patient at night.
 Never let the battery run completely dead. This could damage the battery.
 Check on the patient periodically to ensure that the badge or fob is still attached to
the patient.
 When using the system outside of the home, use the short range “S” mode.
 Consult the User’s Manual if you have problems.

Sistema SafeKareTM
La enfermedad de Alzheimer o las diferentes formas de la demencia pueden
afectar a todas las personas que estén encargadas del cuidado de un miembro de
la familia quien haya sido golpeado por esta condición desafortunada.
El mayor problema es proveer del cuidado en casa a los pacientes, sabiendo que
el mismo esta dentro del área de control de cuidados.
Demasiado a menudo, por cualquier razón, el paciente deja el área de control sin
el conocimiento del Cuidador. Esto puede ser una situación peligrosa para el
paciente, así también como un problema frustrante para la persona encargada de
su cuidado.
DT Communications Inc. ha desarrollado un método simple de alerta para ser
utilizado por el Cuidador cuando el mismo esté ocupado y el paciente deje el área
de control definida.
Nuestra compañía ha diseñado una unidad que puede ser usada dentro o fuera de
la casa y/o de las instalaciones del Cuidador. La unidad alertará al Cuidador, si el
paciente dejara el lugar o se moviera fuera del alcance del sistema SafeKare™
