GETTING STARTED WITH PHRAZER/KITSUNE
2.2 Phrazer Front View
LEDs - On the top of Phrazer’s case are two bright Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that turn on if
triggered during Phrazer operation. These lights can emit green, red, blue and white light. The lights
are visible to the patient as well as any one who can see the back of Phrazer. The lights are primarily
used to indicate patient status in CITE Engagements and provide visual alerts to staff.
Microphone - The microphone can be used to record patient audio, caregiver audio, video
conferencing and more. Usage includes capturing the patient's spoken concerns and consent for
treatment.
Camera - Next to the microphone is a 13 megapixel camera and video recorder. This camera is used
to scan badges, insurance cards, credit cards, capture images of the patient, wounds, area(s) of
incident and to record consent to treat and more.
Swappable Handle Batteries - Hot swappable batteries can be removed and replaced while Phrazer
is on and working, avoiding downtime.
Touch Screen Display - Phrazer’s touch screen recognizes the presence of one or more points of
contact with the surface (multi-touch). The screen has an oleophobic coating to simplify the cleaning
process and an anti glare coating to increase screen clarity. The touch screen can be used while
wearing rubber gloves or if liquids are present on the surface.

triggered during Phrazer operation. These lights can emit green, red, blue and white light. The lights
are visible to the patient as well as any one who can see the back of Phrazer. The lights are primarily
used to indicate patient status in CITE Engagements to staff.
Charger Port - On the back side of Phrazer, located at the bottom, is an opening for the charge cord.
This opening is protected by a cover that can be pulled back to expose the slot for inserting the
charger.
Serial Number - Just above the charger port is a serial number. There is a unique number assigned to
each device. This number is used for Customer Support, device management and other manufacturing
processes.
On and Off Switch - This electronic switch, exclusively activated by the Crypto Key, is the only way
to power Phrazer on and one way to power Phrazer off. The switch is located inside the case and
cannot be directly accessed for security purposes.

in the same room. Plug in any headset with 3.5mm connector to receive
relevant and actionable CITE messages. Reference the Caregiver Kitsune
Guide for further operating procedures.
Patient Kitsune - Kitsune is a wireless audio device that a
patient can wear for private interactions. Kitsune can also
be converted to group mode by rotating the ear cups
outward to provide a speaker experience. For more
detailed information on enhanced private ambient input for
private authority interactions or other functionality, please
refer to the Kitsune User Guide.
Crypto Key - The triangular key with an inset magnet on one face is required to power Phrazer/
