PREFACE
Overview
The Baby Check transmitter is a component
of the 9450 System which monitors doors,
elevators, hallways, and stairwells to assist
staff in monitoring patients and assets in a
facility.
When used with Safe Place Infant
transmitters, the Baby Check transmitters
reduce the risk of mother-baby mismatches
and provides an extra layer of protection to
ensure the correct baby is taken to the right
room.
WARNING: The 9450 System is designed
and intended to work in conjunction with a
facility’s overall patient security program,
including reasonable operating policies and
procedures. The 9450 System, by itself,
cannot prevent abductions or the elopement
of patients.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Introduction
This chapter provides general information
about the transmitters. It includes:
Using the transmitters
Warranty dates
Transmitter testing and care
Baby
Check
Transmitter
The Baby Check transmitter is used in
conjunction with the Infant transmitter (see
Safe Place Transmitter User guide for
additional details).
The transmitter is lightweight and compact
and although portable, is placed in its wall
mount cradle in the hallway just near the
door to the mother's assigned room.
How do the transmitters work?
Whenever someone needs to verify that the
infant is being returned to the correct
mother, one just needs to bring the Baby
Check transmitter in proximity to the Infant
transmitter and a one button push will
indicate a correct match.
RADIO FREQUENCY: The radio frequency
(RF) characteristics of certain metal crib
carts may interfere or block the Infant
transmitter’s signal during transport,
preventing detection by the system’s Exit
Receiver.

General Information
Page 10 of 28 Baby Check Transmitters User Guide
0510-1124-I
WARNING: The Baby Check transmitter
does not link to an Infant transmitter when
the Baby Check transmitter’s battery is low.
To verify low battery, press the button. If the
battery voltage is deemed too low for
reliable operation, the red LED will blink five
times.
The software will notify you of this if and
when the battery voltage drops beneath its
threshold. When this occurs, the red LED on
the front of the Baby Check transmitter
flashes every 32 seconds. Discard the
Baby Check transmitter and replace it with a
new one.
Warranty
Expiration
Date
Each transmitter is stamped with a warranty
expiration date. This date indicates the date
that RF Technologies’ warranty on that
transmitter expires. If the warranty period
has expired, discard the transmitter
immediately.
WARNING: Using a transmitter beyond the
printed expiration date can result in system
failure, mismatch, and/or abduction.
Transmitters have a 2 year, non-replaceable, life expectancy.

mounting bracket is to be attached to a
concrete or masonry wall use the wall
anchors designed for these substrates.
4. Attach the mounting bracket to the wall
with the four screws provided.
Mounting
with Tape
To mount the transmitter using tape:
1. Determine a desired location near the
doorway. The mounting height should
be no higher than 44 inches from the
floor.
2. Once the location is determined place
the mounting tape on the rear side of
the mounting bracket.
3. Attach the mounting bracket to the wall
with the mounting tape.
