Intended use: The FA223S andFA223D portable transmitters are intended to be
installed and serviced by licensed security professionals.
Besides having two Activation Buttons, theFA223D differs from the FA223S in the
following ways: housing color is gray, and the transmission indicator LED operates at
low intensity.
The FA223S and FA223D have water-resistant housings that protect the pendant
when worn in the bathtub, shower, rain, or other environments where the pen-
dant may be splashed with water or momentarily submerged.
To activate theFA223S, press and hold the Activation Button for at least 1 second.
To activate theFA223D, press and hold both ActivationButtons for at least 1 second.
Alarm signals are transmitted multiple times, and are indicated by the blinking Trans-
mit LED.
Holding the buttons results in continuous transmission.
When either button is released, theFA223S/D will complete its alarm transmission,
then will send an alarm restoral signal so that receiver devices configured for fol-
lower mode will return to their normal state.
