Preface
Overview
This guide provides detailed information about the Code Alert Care Manager, a
components 9600 Wireless Call System. It provides instructions about using and
configuring the Care Manager as well as Care Manager specification.
The Care Manager is a pocket-size battery-powered device carried by a care-provider. The
Care Manager allows a care-provider to receive patient calls for help and other alarms while
roaming anywhere within the facility coverage area. Each text page indicates the type of
alarm, patient name, and location. The Care Manager two-way communications allows a
care-provider to assign a Joint Commission reason from the Care Manager, saving time by
eliminating frequent trips to a PC. Two-way communications also allows the care-provider
to call other care-providers for help.
The 9600 Series Wireless Call System fully supervises the Care Manager and will alert staff
if a problem develops or if a signal is not received by the system. The Care Manager is
battery operated, and the battery can be replaced by the facility. When the battery is low,
staff is continuously notified until the battery is changed.
About this Guide
This Guide is intended for users who use the Care Manager, in conjunction with the 9600
