while providing maximum fall management
benefits. The alarm is to be used with Secure®
Bed or Chair Sensor Pads or the Secure®Seat
Belt as part of a total fall management program.

voice to activate in the resident’s room
when using the nurse call feature, slide
“Off/On” switch to the “Off” position. If you
DO want the alarm or voice to activate in
the room and at the nurse’s station slide
the “Off/On” switch to the “On” position.
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU DECIDE TO
SILENCE THE ALARM OR VOICE IN
THE RESIDENT’S ROOM WHEN USING
THE NURSE CALL SYSTEM THE “Off/
On” SWITCH SHOULD BE IN THE “OFF”
POSITION. IF YOU WANT THE ALARM
TO SOUND IN THE RESIDENT’S ROOM

to 12 seconds long. You might consider
something similar to: “Mrs. Jones, please
sit back down in your chair. Thank you.”
or “Mrs. Jones, it is not time to get out
of bed yet. Please lie back down. Thank
you.” Once the message is activated
the message will repeat two times then

and hold down the black button marked
“Record.” Release the black button when
you have finished recording your message.
Record your message by speaking into
the dot openings marked “Microphone.”
The volume at which you speak and how
close your mouth is to the dot openings
determines your message volume. Do a
couple of recording tests to determine if
your message is clear and loud enough
for the resident to understand and hear.
To test your recording press and hold the
“Test/Reset” button on the front of the
alarm.
4. Once you are comfortable with your alarm

each decibel level by moving the switch to
either 70, 80 or 90 decibels and pressing and
holding the “Test/Reset” button on the front
of the alarm.
5. You have now completed all the alarm
function set up steps. Close the battery cover
and replace the tamper resistant screw.
6. Remove the paper covering from the top of
the Velcro®piece attached to the bottom
of the alarm. Slide the alarm into the alarm
holder carefully threading the pad cord and/
or nurse call cords through the slot opening
at the bottom of the holder. Press down
on the top of the alarm while pulling the
cords through the opening to secure the
Velcro®piece to the bottom of the holder.
The alarm is now firmly in the holder. See
Illustration C below. When it is necessary
to remove the alarm from the holder simply
pull up on the alarm to separate the Velcro®
pieces. Remove the wires by sliding them
through the slot at bottom of alarm holder to
completely remove the alarm from the holder.
7. Affix the alarm and holder securely to the
side of the bed or chair out of sight and reach
of the resident. Simply wrap the Velcro®
strap with the rubberized non-slip backing
attached to the back of the holder tightly
around railing or frame of bed or wheelchair.
CAUTION: Do not affix alarm to a PVC
rail. The strap may permanently stain
the rail. Holder placement should be easily
accessible to staff. Secure excess cord to
avoid damaging cord.
8. Place resident so that resident’s buttocks or
shoulder are in center of bed or chair pad.
9. Once the resident is positioned on the pad
the alarm will beep twice to indicate that
the alarm is functioning properly. The alarm
will allow for normal movement. However, if
resident gets off sensor pad the alarm will
sound or the voice recording will activate to
alert staff. When the resident gets back on
the pad the alarm will automatically reset.
However, the light bar will continue to flash
red intermittently to let staff members know
which resident activated the alarm. Note: As
a tamper resistant feature please press the
“Test/Reset” button 3 times quickly in 1.5
seconds to stop flashing light and alarm tone
or voice.
10.When staff removes resident from pad the
alarm will sound or the voice feature will
be activated. To stop alarm or voice from
sounding press and release the Test/Reset
button 3 times within 1.5 seconds.
When the resident is positioned back on the
pad the alarm will beep twice signaling that
the alarm has automatically reset.
11.The alarm and sensor pad should be
checked prior to each use for proper
functioning. Please note: The system
can be checked while resident is on the
pad by simply pressing “Test/Reset”
button. The alarm will beep. DO NOT
ASSUME! TEST EACH TIME THE SYSTEM
IS USED.
12.The light bar on the front of the alarm also
functions as a low battery indicator. When
the batteries are low and require changing
the light bar will flash blue intermittently and
the alarm will emit a beeping sound. Note:
As a safeguard simply pressing the reset
button will not stop the alarm from beeping
when the batteries are low. The blue light will
continue to flash and the beeping sound will
continue until the batteries are changed.
