Safety Precaution
• Due to different conditions and environments when
using DFD-100, users must take note of the
following information:
1. DFD-100 has passed rigorous test in detecting
driver hypo-vigilance (HPV)/ fatigue. However
wrong operation, external interference, or
malfunction, may affect the results; users must
bear the risk.
2. When installing the device, ensure correct
installation position. When using the device on
the road, take safety precautions and assume all
responsibilities. HOLUX will not bear any

Product Description
According to published studies and test results, the driver’s
vigilance level decreases (i.e. hypo-vigilance) due to long
hours driving on highways. The DFD-100 is a driver
hypo-vigilance(HPV)/ fatigue detector that detects driver’s
heart rate change to determine the driver’s HPV/ fatigue .
The DFD-100 issues a warning whenever the driver’s
vigilance level drops below the set-up limit.
The DFD-100 is based on the use of non-contact heart rate
sensing technology and a patented HPV/fatigue detection
algorithm. No electrode patches in direct contact with the
skin are required. The device is fitted to the driver's seat
belt and the device is ready to start operating when the
driver’s seat belt is fastened.

Attention
The DFD-100 is an auxiliary driving safety device. When it
emits a warning beep, it means the driver’s vigilance level
is low due to fatigue . Driver fatigue is as dangerous as
drunk driving so when this happens, you should move to
the side of the road and stop driving for your own safety.

Wearing the DFD-100
Step 1. Attach the DFD-100 Fixer to the seat belt.
The Fixer should be oriented with the wider end
pointing up. And the convex of Fixer is faced to users.
Step 2. Once the Fixer has been fitted to the seat belt, the
driver should then put on the seat belt.

Step 3. Attach the DFD-100 unit to the Fixer.
Attention:
1. The T-Bar on the back of the DFD-100 should be
aimed at the wider end of the -shaped hole.
2. The driver should choose an appropriate -shaped
hole of the T-Bar Mount for their body shape. Press the
T-Bar into the wider end of the -shaped hole and
gently rotate around and push downwards to secure it.
Make sure that the trough on the T-Bar is clipped into
the narrower end of the -shaped hole.

Step 4. Confirm the positioning of the DFD-100.
Attention: The front of the DFD-100 must be positioned at
the center of the driver's chest with the buttons and light
indicators facing upwards. The lower edge of the DFD-100
should be level with a point 2 finger-width up from the
xiphoid process of the sternum (indicated spot
).
※ Because of body type differences, the detection
location may slightly differ. If the heart signal cannot be
detected from the proposed location, slightly adjust the
device location (adjust location as shown below). Please
wait 30 seconds~1minute for DFD-100 to detect the heart
signal. When you sound two short beeping means the heart
signal is successfully detected.

Attention
Driving on flat stretches of highway during long journeys
increases the risk of HPV/fatigue. This device is intended
primarily to be used when the driver is on a highway to
avoid accidents.
Disable alarm function
When DFD-100 emits audio alarms, you can choose to
silence it by pressing down the power switch once. If you
choose to silence it twice within one minute period, the
previous data will be erased and DFD-100 will reset the
detector function.

FAQ
1. Why can’t I use DFD-100 when charging in the car?
The accessory of DFD-100 is included a car charger
for your convenience to charge in the car. Due to
driving safety, avoid distractions and the accuracy of
fatigue detection; do not use DFD-100 when charging
in the car.
2. Does DFD-100 have an instable detection in the
winter?
The DFD-100 detects driver’s heart rate change to
determine the driver’s fatigue level. The best distance
between the device and the skin is less than 5mm.
Suggestion: Do not wear heavy clothing when using
the device that in hence the accuracy of detection.
3. Does the fixer need to be attached and took off when I
use the device every time?
At first time; please attach the DFD-100 fixer to the
seat belt. When finished, you don’t need to take off
