Smart Sense Transmitters
The Smart Sense transmitter is worn on an infant’s ankle and
senses when the transmitter is loose or no longer in contact with the
infant.
The Smart Sense technology combines the Smart Sense
transmitter and Smart Sense banding material to give you the
capability to recognize if a transmitter has been removed from an
infant or if it has been tampered with or is loose.
Transmitters have a 1 year life expectancy. Using a transmitter
beyond the printed expiration date can result in system failure,
elopement, and/or abduction.
How do I band the transmitter?
1. Remove the Smart Sense banding material (with
the plastic guide tabs still attached) from the
plastic backing.
2. Open the clamps of the transmitter by gently
pulling them outward, one clamp at a time, from
the top of the transmitter.
3. With the yellow-side of the banding material
facing outwards, thread the banding into the first
clamp from the bottom slot out through the top
slot.
4. Once the plastic guide tab clears the clamp, snap
the first clamp closed.
5. Place the transmitter with banding around infant’s
ankle then thread the second clamp.
6. Snap the second clamp closed.
7. The transmitter becomes active 20 seconds after
the clamps are snapped into place to allow the
transmitter to be re-opened and adjusted.
8. Remove the plastic guide tabs and discard.
9. Use safety scissors to cut off the excess banding
material. Try not to cut bands too short to allow
room to adjust in the future.
WARNING: Only Smart Sense banding material can be used to fasten
Smart Sense transmitters. Use of any other banding material with the
Smart Sense transmitters voids the RF Technologies' Product Warranty
and could result in system failure.
NOTE: Do not thread both sides of the
banding material through the clamps until
you are ready to secure the transmitter to
the infant. Pre-threading may allow the
transmitter to alarm.

How do I discharge and remove the transmitter?
When it is time for an infant to leave your facility, he/she must be discharged
from the software (refer to the applicable Series Software User Guide).
1. Assure that clamps are firmly closed on both sides with banding in place.
2. Check the software to confirm that the transmitter is communicating with the
system.
3. Tend to and clear any alarms displayed on the screen for the transmitter.
4. Request a discharge function for the transmitter in the software and
complete the action within the allotted time specified by your facility.
5. Open the transmitter clamps to remove the banding material.
6. Discard the used banding material.
7. Finally, disinfect the transmitter so that it is ready to be used again.
How do I clean the transmitter?
1. Remove the banding material from the transmitter and dispose of it.
2. Disinfect the transmitter with an approved cleaner (*use of non-
approved cleaners can cause permanent damage to the transmitter
and piercing contacts and will void any and all warranties).
3. Allow the cleaner to remain on the transmitter for the amount of time
specified by the manufacturer. When using surface disinfectants and
decontaminant cleaners, always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
4. Wipe the transmitter with a clean cloth or towel, and then allow the
transmitter to air-dry. The transmitter can also be rinsed with water, if
required to in the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Inspect the piercing contacts on the transmitter. The contacts must be
gold in color and not bent or out of alignment. If the piercing contacts
are NOT gold in color or are bent out of alignment, discard the
transmitter.
6. Close the clamps on the transmitter
7. Place the clean transmitter in a storage container for future use.
How do I replace damaged transmitter clamps?
1. Open the clamps all the way and gently remove.
2. Insert the first clamp by inserting the right oval-shaped pin into the hole on
the right side of the transmitter.
3. Next, line the left oval-shaped pin up with the hole on the left side of the
transmitter.
4. Gently snap the pin into the hole.
5. Close the clamp.
6. Repeat the previous steps for the second clamp.
NOTE: The transmitters may be
wiped, sprayed or rinsed with
water or the approved cleaners
during cleaning, but must not
be soaked. Soaking transmitters
may result in equipment and/or
system failure.
NOTE: Do not slip the
banding material off the
infant’s extremity; doing
so may result in an alarm.
Do not leave the banding
material in the transmitter
clamps after discharge;
doing so may result in the
transmitter re-enrolling.
