Using 900 MHz spread-spectrum digital technology, this completely wireless system provides extended range performance for up to sixteen locations. The system utilizes five main components – the 16-Station Receiver unit, the Wireless Transmitter with Charging Cradle (Charger), the Wireless Pendant, the Wireless Repeater and the Wireless Floor Mat. (The last three items are optional.) The Wireless Sentry system can monitor fall-prone residents from a bed or wheelchair and includes an “out-of-range” warning alert that sounds if the resident leaves a predetermined safe area. The Transmitter WT-2 is a resident-monitoring device, powered by rechargeable batteries (included), that can be programmed into the Receiver WR-3, which is located at the nurses’station. Monitoring pads are available for use with the Transmitter for wheelchair and bed applications. The optional Pendant WP-2 is a small, battery-operated device, about the size of a stopwatch, that can be programmed just like a Transmitter. It can then either hang on a cord around the resident’s neck or be strapped on the wrist. When the resident needs assistance, he or she presses a large button on the Pendant, and a silent signal is sent to the Receiver at the nurses’station. The optional Floor Mat WFM-1 is equipped with its own programmable transmitter and is placed beside a patient’s bed. When weight is placed on the mat, the transmitter sends an alerting signal to the Receiver. The optional Repeater WSR-1 is a device, shaped like a Receiver, that is placed on a wall or other convenient location between the Transmitter (or Pendant or Floor Mat) and the Receiver. It boosts the signal from the Transmitter, effectively extending its range.

Plug the adapter cable into the back of the Receiver, then plug the adapter into the wall outlet. 2. Turn on the unit by pressing the POWER button. The red LED power indicator will go on. 3.. Program the Receiveras described below under Programming. Station Index Card: Use your fingernail or a coin to remove the clear plastic cover from the front of the Receiver. Then, on the Card, write in the room number and/or name of the resident to be assigned to each Transmitter, Pendant or Floor Mat. Replace cover. Locating the Receiver on a Wall or Desk: Once the Receiver has been programmed, it can be placed on the wall by inserting the two keyhole slots on the back onto the studs of a telephone wall plate. Alternately, you can put two screws (included) or nails into a convenient spot on the wall, with one screw located 2¾” above the other. The screws or nails should extend 3/16” from the wall so that the keyhole slots on the back of the Receiver can be slipped over them. The Receiver can also be set up on a desk or counter by attaching the back of the unit to the plastic Pedestal that is included in the packaging of the unit. This sets the unit at a convenient angle on a flat surface. Transmitter Setup Replacing the Battery Pack: The Transmitter comes with a new, rechargeable battery pack already installed. When it eventually becomes necessary to replace the battery pack, follow these steps: 1. Insert the tip of a large paper clip or similar object into the small hole just above the battery compartment door. Press down while pushing back the door in the direction of the arrow. 2. Remove the old battery pack. Follow instructions for safe disposal in Safety Instructions for Transmitter Battery Pack on page 15. 3. Attach a new battery pack and insert into battery compartment. Snap compartment door back into place. Setting up the Charging Cradle: Plug the adapter cable into the Charging Cradle (Charger) and then into the wall outlet. Setting up the Transmitter before programming: 1. Before using a particular Transmitter unit for the first time, charge it for at least 14 hours by placing it into the Charging Cradle. The red LED on the Charging Cradle will light when the Transmitter is properly inserted. This procedure will help lengthen the life of the battery. 2. Slide the POWER switch on the side of the Transmitter to ON. 3. Set the ALARM switch on the side of the unit to select whether or not an audible alarm sound is required when an alarm is active. 4. Program the Transmitter into the Receiver WR-3 according to the directions in the Programming section below. Pendant Setup Replacing the Batteries: 1. Remove the 2 screws on the back of the Pendant and lift off the cover of the battery compartment. 2. Pry out the old batteries with a pen or small screwdriver. 3. Place the new batteries into position, being sure to align the polarities correctly. Match the “+”sign on the batteries with the “+”marked in the battery compartment. 4. Before screwing the battery cover back in place, press the blue circle on the front of the Pendant to be sure the batteries have been installed correctly and are operational. The LED should go on. 5. Reprogram the device if necessary (see Programming below). Setting up the Pendant: The Pendant can either by placed around the resident’s wrist using the white Velcro strap (included), or hung around his or her neck with the looped cord (included). Wireless Floor Mat Setup Replacing the Batteries: The Floor Mat’s transmitter comes with new batteries installed. When it becomes necessary to replace them, use the following procedure: 1. Use a coin to remove the battery cover on the transmitter by placing it in the slot and turning it slightly in a clockwise direction. 2. Pry out the old batteries with a pen or small screwdriver. 3. Place three new batteries into position, being sure to align the polarities correctly. The “+” sign on each battery should be facing upward. 4. Twist the battery cover back into place. The red LED on the transmitter should blink briefly if the batteries are installed correctly and are operational. Setting up the Floor Mat: Connect the Floor Mat transmitter to the jack attached to the mat. Be sure the transmitter is positioned over the rectangular shape in the plastic case on the mat, with the battery cover facing up. Reprogram the device if necessary (see Programming below). Set the mat onto the floor beside the bed where the patient is most likely to contact it if he or she leaves the bed. Repeater Setup 1. Plug the AC adaptor into the wall socket and connect the other end to the jack on the back of the Repeater. 2. Press the POWER button to turn the unit on. The red LED should be on. 3. Program the Repeater (see Programming below). 4. Once the Repeater has been programmed, it can be placed on a wall by inserting the two keyhole slots on the back onto the studs of a telephone wall plate. Alternately, two screws (included) or nails can be inserted into a convenient spot on the wall, with one screw located 2¾” above the other. The screws or nails should extend 3/16”from the wall so that the keyhole slots on the back of the Repeater can be slipped over them. The Repeater should be located somewhere between the farthermost Transmitter and the Receiver. The Repeater can also be set up on a desk or counter by attaching the back of the unit to the plastic Pedestal that is included in the package. This sets the unit at a convenient angle on a flat surface. 5. Once the Repeater is set up, no further attention is required since all alarm signals will be passed along automatically to the Receiver. Programming Before programming, turn on the Receiver by pressing the POWER button. The red LED power indicator will light. To Program a Transmitter Location: NOTE: Before using a particular Transmitter unit for the first time, charge it for at least 14 hours by placing it into the Charging Cradle.

The beep on the Receiver will continue. 11 3. If more than one alarm is received, pressing the ALARM RESET button again will select the next alarm location. 4. Press the CONFIRM button to select the station to visit. The beep at the Receiver will stop but the LED will remain on. 5. When the problem causing the Alarm situation is corrected, the Transmitter will send a signal to the Receiver to turn off the LED. NOTE: If the alarm was from a Pendant, the LED will be off at this point. If the alarm was from a Wireless Floor Mat, the LED and beep will be off at this point, but will reactivate if the Floor Mat is still pressurized. Alarm Signals at the Transmitter 1. When pressure on the monitoring Sentry Mat is removed, the red ALARM LED on the Transmitter will turn on and an alarm tone will sound at the Transmitter (if the ALARM switch on the side of the Transmitter is in the ON position). 2. At the same time, an alarm will sound and the corresponding LED will turn on at the Receiver. Resetting an Active Alarm Signal 1. When pressure is placed back on the monitoring pad, both the Transmitter and the Receiver will return to their normal state. 2. An active alarm can be reset by pressing the ALARM RESET button on the Transmitter. Turning Off Alert Signals Press the ALARM RESET button on the Receiver until the light stops flashing. Press CONFIRM to turn off the alarm sound. For Transmitter WT-2, the red station light on the Receiver will remain ON until the alerting situation is cleared. For Pendant WP-2 and Wireless Floor Mat WFM-1, the red light will turn off. 12 Out-of-Range Monitoring (for Wireless Transmitter only) After being programmed into the Receiver, the Transmitter will send silent signals to the Receiver approximately every 90 seconds to indicate that it is within a safe range. If the Transmitter is carried beyond the safe range (Out-of-Range), the Receiver will emit light and sound indications to alert the care giver. These alerting signals can be reset in the same way as a normal alarm. Operating procedure in this case is the same as described above in Alarm Signals at the Receiver, except that the audible signal is a slow single-tone alarm. An Out-of-Range signal should never be ignored, since the patient is virtually unmonitored while the Receiver is sending out this signal. NOTE: Out-of-Range is not checked when the Transmitter is turned off. Battery-Low Indication At the Receiver: When a Battery-Low signal is received, the corresponding LED will flash and a slow single-tone beep will be heard at the Receiver. (If the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the Transmitter will shut off to prevent unpredictable behavior, and no signal will be received.) At the Transmitter: 1. When the Transmitter battery runs low, the green LED on the Transmitter flashes and a Battery-Low signal is transmitted to the Receiver. 2. The Transmitter should be put into the Charging Cradle for recharging. 3. When the battery is fully charged, both Transmitter and Receiver will return to their normal state. Charging a Transmitter To minimize the loss of battery power, it is a good idea to leave the Transmitter in its Charger overnight. Normal Charging: 1. Switch off the Transmitter. 13 2. Set the Transmitter into the Charger, being sure that the charging contacts on the bottom of the Transmitter touch the corresponding contacts in the Charger. 3. The red LED on the Transmitter will flash when the battery is fully charged. Monitoring While Charging: NOTE: SPECIAL FEATURE! The Transmitter can monitor a patient even while it is recharging in the Charging Cradle. To do this: 1. Disconnect the monitoring pad and re-connect it to the jack on the Charger. 2. Set the Transmitter into the Charger. The unit will provide normal service when the POWER switch is on. Transmitter Logout and Standby Mode “Transmitter Logout” deactivates a particular Transmitter, but does not cancel its programming. When a unit has been logged out, it is in Standby mode, meaning it is no longer active, but is still programmed. To log out a Transmitter: Press and hold the ALARM RESET button on the Transmitter until a long beep is sounded. The local alarm and the ALARM LED will go off, and the unit will return to Standby mode. After log-out, the monitoring mat can be unplugged without triggering an alarm. The out-of-range detection will be temporarily disabled. Pressing the CHECK button on the Transmitter will still activate the station LED on the Receiver. The Transmitter is still programmed, but is inactive (the station LED will not light up when you press CONFIRM on the Receiver). To log in the Transmitter: The Transmitter automatically logs in again to the Receiver when the POWER is switched on or the monitoring mat is re-installed. 14 Safety Instructions: Transmitter WT-2 Battery Pack CAUTION TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY, READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: 1.
