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 reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by: 1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.System OverviewThe Secure® Wire-Less Patient Monitoring System takes fall management patient alarms to the next level by eliminating tripping hazards, taking the alarm sound out of the patient room, and employing the most advanced, patent pending continuous 2.4G bi-directional wireless communication that ensures secure communication between the Wireless Alarm Monitor (WAM-1) and Wireless Alarm Transmitter (WAT-1) housed in the pocket of a Secure® bed or chair sensor pad or floor mat sensor.When a patient gets off the monitoring pad housing the transmitter, the transmitter will instantly send a wireless signal to the monitor without a dangerous delay that is found in other patient monitors. The monitor will then send a confirmation signal to the transmitter to stop the transmitter signal conserving battery life.The monitor will automatically reset once the patient gets back on the bed/chair sensor pad. Alternatively, the monitor can be reset by pressing the reset button located on the front of the monitor. When using a floor mat sensor, the monitor will continue to alarm until the reset button is pressed. The monitor may be connected to a standard nurse call system using the optional Nurse Call Cable accessory (NCI-1). When connected to a nurse call system, the monitor alarm sound may be left on or muted to eliminate in-room alarm noise. The Monitor will activate the nurse call system to alert the nurses’ station of unsafe patient egress. When in standby, the monitor and transmitter communicate every 5 minutes to confirm both remain synced. If the monitor and transmitter become unpaired the 3rd LED light on the front of monitor will flash continuously and the alarm will sound continuously indicating the system is not functioning properly. Setup Instructions (Call 800-3-Secure for Setup Help)1. Wireless Alarm Monitor (WAM-1) – Install Batteries& Set Volume/Tone• Remove WAM-1 from protective holder• Fully loosen battery cover screw with included screwdriver• Open battery cover by sliding in a downward motion• Insert 3 AA batteries (included) into the battery compartment ensuring correct polarityPersonal Safety Corporation • Hiawatha, Iowa 52233 • 800.373.2873
• Select desired volume level using “H M L” toggle switch located in battery compartment (H = high, M = medium, L = low)• Select desired alarm tone using “Tone 1 Tone 2” toggle switch located in battery compartment • Close the battery cover and fully tighten Phillips-head screw• Place the monitor in protective holder2. Wireless Alarm Transmitter (WAT-1) – Install batteries & Adjust Settings• To access WAT-1 battery compartment, remove case back by fully loosening the four (4) Phillips-head screws using the included screwdriver• Insert 2 AAA batteries (included) into the battery compartment ensuring correct polarity• Attach case back and fully tighten four (4) Philips-head screws• Using a pen or other pointed instrument, turn on the WAT-1 by switching the “OFF ON” toggle switch to “On” position• Using a pen or other pointed instrument, choose the correct position of the “Mat Pad” toggle switch (Mat = Floor Mat Sensor, Pad= Bed/Chair/Toilet Sensor Pad)3. Sync/Pair WAM-1 & WAT-1, Plug-in Sensor Pad or Floor Mat• Press & hold WAM-1 “SYNC” button located on right side of monitor. The red LED light will turn on indicating that the monitor is in Sync mode.• Press WAT-1“SYNC” button. The WAT-1 red LED light will turn on and WAM-1will sound an audible beep.• Both red LED lights on WAM-1 & WAT-1 will turn off. The monitor & transmitter are now synced.• Plug bed/chair sensor pad or floor mat sensor into the WAT-1 “PAD PLUG” • Always test system before each use.4. Testing Wire-Less Patient Monitoring System Operation To test system, press down on the sensor pad with the palm of your hand. The monitor will beep to indicate it is active. After removing pressure from the sensor pad, the monitor will immediately begin to alarm. Press the reset button once to silence the alarm sound and put the system into standby mode. Instructions for UseThe WAM-1 alarm, WAT-1 transmitter and sensor pad being used should be checked prior to each use to ensure all are functioning properly. The “Test/Reset” button on WAM-1 also functions as a battery tester.Bed Sensor Pad PlacementPlace Wireless Bed Sensor Pad (BEDPAD-1W) widthwise across bed on top of mattress. The sensor pad must be positioned on the mattress to be directly under buttocks or shoulder of user. When placed under shoulders, the alarm will activate when patient sits up in bed. When placed under the buttocks, the alarm will activate when the patient vacates the bed. Place side of pad with movement resistant cushions down against mattress top. Mattress cover sheets should be placed over the sensor. The WAT-1 sensor pad pocket should hang over side of bed.Chair Sensor Pad PlacementPlace Wireless Chair Sensor Pad (CHAIRPAD-1W) in center of chair or wheelchair seat directly under buttocks of user. If a chair cushion is used sensor pad must be placed on top of chair cushion directly under buttocks of user. The WAT-1 sensor pad pocket should hang over side of chair.Low Battery Indicator Function - WAM-1 & WAT-11. WAM-1 Monitor• Low battery indication for WAM-1 monitor- WAM-1 monitor will emit an audible beep sound alert- “Monitor Low Battery” blue LED indicator will flash periodically• Low battery indication for WAT-1 transmitter- WAM-1 monitor will emit an audible beep sound alert- “Transmitter Low Battery” yellow LED indicator will flash periodically2.

battery signal to the WAM-1 monitor. WAM-1 monitor blue LED light will flash periodically confirming the transmitter low battery signal. Sensor Pad Cleaning InstructionsUse the same cleaning method used to clean vinyl mattress covers. A damp, non-abrasive cloth may be used to wipe sensor pads and floor mat. All cleaning products suitable for vinyl may be used to wipe bed/chair sensor pads. Water and Incontinent ProofThe Wireless Sensor pads have been specially designed to be water and incontinent proof. If sensor is exposed to extreme heat, punctured or torn it will no longer be water and incontinent proof and should no longer be used under any circumstance. Warning: Do not immerse sensor pads in water for any reason. Doing so will void warranty.Troubleshooting1. Install new batteries in both the WAM-1 and WAT-1. If using optional WAM-1 AC power adapter, verify that it is properly plugged in to both the WAM-1 and the wall.2. Make sure WAM-1 and WAT-1 are properly SYNCED. (See Step 3 of Setup Instructions)3. Determine WAT-1 is working:a. Confirm that the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.b. Confirm that the sensor pad or floor mat is plugged into the WAT-1c. To Press or release the PAD, it can initial the LED on WAT-1 to turn on periodically. 4. Determine WAM-1 is working:a. Hold the “Reset” button on the front of the WAM-1 for a few seconds; all LED lights will turn on and it will emit a tone sound.5. Determine which component is at fault:a. Use a known working WAT-1/WAM-1 set and connect the potentially faulty sensor pad to test functionality. If the set does not function properly, the sensor pad is faulty and should be replaced.b. Take a known working sensor pad and connect the potentially faulty WAT-1/WAM-1 – if the system does not function properly, the WAT-1 or WAM-1 are faulty and should be replacedTechnical SpecificationsWireless Alarm Monitor (WAM-1)Power: 3x AA Alkaline Batteries (included) and DC6V 1A (optional AC adapter)Wireless Operating Frequency: 2.4GWireless Technology: GFSK RF moduleVisual Alert: Monitor low bat.
