OPERATIONAL INSPECTION
Complete operational inspection of the Personal Trans-
mitter requires use of the Hand Held Receiver
1. To test the manual alarm, press either of the two
manual alarm buttons on the Personal Transmitter.
a) The Personal Transmitter shall sound a loud
almost continuous 2 tone chirp accompanied by
flashing of the red signal light.
NOTE
IF A LOW BATTERY INDICATION OCCURS AT ANY TIME
DURING REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION, DO
NOT USE THE EQUIPMENT. CHANGE THE BATTERIES
AS REQUIRED AND REPEAT THE REGULAR
OPERATIONAL TEST OR TAKE THE EQUIPMENT OUT
OF SERVICE UNTIL THE BATTERIES ARE CHANGED
AND THE REGULAR OPERATIONAL TEST IS
SUCCESSFULLY PERFORMED.
VISUAL INSPECTION
1. Visually inspect the Personal Transmitter enclosure
for cracks or other damage. If any damage is found,
remove the unit from service and tag for
replacement.
2. Verify that the label with the Personal Transmitter ID
Number is clear and legible.
3. Turn on the Personal Transmitter by removing the
lanyard. Verify that the unit sounds and lights properly.
The Personal Transmitter shall sound a loud almost
continuous 3 tone chirp accompanied by flashing of
the red signal light.
4. Battery Life – The Personal Transmitter will chirp once
every three seconds to indicate the batteries are low
and require changing. If the low battery indication
occurs during the REGULAR OPERATIONAL
INSPECTION, replace the batteries before
proceeding with the inspection. See the BATTERY
INSTALLATION section of this instruction.
REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION
WARNING
FOLLOW REGULAR OPERATIONAL INSPECTION PRO-
CEDURE EXACTLY. IF THE SCOTT PAK-TRACKER
LOCATOR SYSTEM DOES NOT ACTUATE, OR DOES NOT
OPERATE AS DESCRIBED OR IF ANY OTHER OPERA-
TIONAL MALFUNCTION IS NOTED, DO NOT USE THE
EQUIPMENT. FAILURE TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY MAL-
FUNCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
WARNING
FAILURE TO REGULARLY INSPECT THE SCOTT PAK-
TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM EQUIPMENT, AS
DESCRIBED IN THIS INSTRUCTION OR FAILURE TO IDEN-
TIFY DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT, MAY IMPAIR THE
INTRINSIC SAFETY OF THE EQUIPMENT. THE INSTAL-
LATION OF INCORRECT BATTERIES OR SUBSTITUTION
OF ANY OTHER COMPONENTS MAY IMPAIR THE INTRIN-
SIC SAFETY OF THE EQUIPMENT. IF THE EQUIPMENT IS
USED IN AN EXPLOSIVE OR FLAMMABLE ATMOSPHERE,
IMPAIRING THE INTRINSIC SAFETY OF THE EQUIPMENT
MAY LEAD TO A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION WHICH COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
b) The Hand Held Receiver will sound an alert and
display the Identification Number of the Personal
Transmitter which appears on the label on the
transmitter battery cover.
c) Press the ENTER button ONCE on the Hand
Held Receiver to select the displayed ID number
d) Point the Hand Held Receiver directly at and in
close proximity to the Personal Transmitter. The
signal strength displayed will be at its highest
value.
2. Reset the manual alarm by pressing simultaneously
on both buttons located on the sides of the Personal
Transmitter
a) The unit will sound three chirps and the green
light will flash.
b) The Hand Held Receiver will reset to its non-
alarm state.
3. Repeat the test in step 1 using the other manual alarm
button.

the lanyard. The unit will sound a two tone chirp and
the green light will go out.
Install or replace batteries in the Personal Transmitter
as follows:
1. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the four screws
holding the battery cover. The screws are captive in
the cover. See FIGURE 1.
2. Remove the old batteries and dispose of in
accordance with state or local regulations.
3. Install three fresh batteries of the type designated.
Orient the plus “+” and minus “-” ends of the batteries
as illustrated inside the battery compartment.
4. Inspect the gasket on the inside of the battery cover
for cuts or damage that might cause a leak. If any
damage is found, remove the unit from service and
tag for repair by authorized personnel.
5. Replace the battery cover and thread the four screws
in alternately Place the Battery Cover with gasket onto
the Personal Transmitter housing and secure the four
(4) screws using the #1 Phillips screw driver. Evenly
tighten the four cover screws by moving across the
cover in an “X” pattern, turning each screw 1 to 2
times until cover is fully seated.
6. Test the operation of the Personal Transmitter
according to the REGULAR OPERATIONAL
INSPECTION section of this instruction.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
FOR THE PERSONAL TRANSMITTER

RFI INTERFERENCE
The SCOTT PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM trans-
mitter or receiver may be susceptible to Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI) from a two-way radio.
Please hold your radio transmitter away from the SCOTT

PERSONAL TRANSMITTER
User Instructions
DESCRIPTION
The SCOTT PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM is a
two part electronic system consisting of a Personal
Transmitter, which is a small personally worn alarm/
Transmitter, and a Hand Held Receiver, which is a di-
rectional receiver or “sniffer” used to locate the signal
coming from the Personal Transmitter. This line of elec-
tronic accessories is for use by fire fighters, first
responders, domestic preparedness and law enforce-
ment officers, as well as haz-mat and industrial users.
These instructions (SCOTT P/N 595101-01) pertain only
to the Personal Transmitter.
Refer to the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM
User Instructions (SCOTT P/N 595102-01) for complete
instructions and warnings for use and maintenance of
the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM includ-
ing the Hand Held Receiver. Those instructions must be
used as the basis for training in use of the whole system.
They include an overview of the system operation and
limitations, as well as user level maintenance.
Training and practice in realistic emergency simulations
is required before use of this equipment. The users must
become thoroughly familiar with the operation and the
limitations of the system before entering a potentially haz-
ardous or life threatening situation.
WARNING
TRAINING IS REQUIRED BEFORE USE OF THIS EQUIP-
MENT IN A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THE TRAINING MUST
INCLUDE EXTENSIVE PRACTICE WITH THE SYSTEM IN
A VARIETY OF ENVIRONMENTS. USE OF A TRACKING
SYSTEM WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING MAY PLACE THE
USER AT HIGHER RISK IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS
WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

SAFETY LISTINGS
CLASS B DIGITAL DEVICE
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to com-
ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television recep-
tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
– Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
