Test bracelets daily as detailed in these instructions, in the
bracelet instructions, and the WanderGuard®Door Monitor User
Manual. Record the results in the resident’s records. It is

thereafter. Failure to do so could result in injury to or death to a
person in your care.

not user replaceable. Do not disassemble, heat above 100oC, or
submerge in water.
WARNING
Dispose of the Universal Tester immediately when low battery is
indicated on the display.
When testing the bracelet, make regular inspections to check for

CAUTION
Features of the WanderGuard®Universal Tester
The Universal Tester is a hand-held, battery-powered device used to test
WanderGuard®door monitors and WanderGuard®bracelets.
When using the tester to test bracelets, the tester will detect if a bracelet
is working properly, display the individual ID number of the resident
wearing the bracelet, and indicate when the bracelet is reaching its
“replace bracelet” date.
The Universal Tester has a non-replaceable battery. Battery life will
vary depending on usage. The battery can be expected to last 2 years
under typical use.*
The tester will indicate when it’s battery life is low by displaying “LO”
on the LCD.
This message will flash three times when any button is pressed. When
this happens, the Universal Tester needs to be replaced immediately. A
dimming display is also an indication that the battery is low and the
tester needs to be replaced.

bracelet BEFORE the bracelet becomes inoperable. Bracelets must be
tested daily. IMPORTANT: Failure to replace the bracelet “on time”
could result in injury to or the death of a person in your care.

verify your Universal Tester is working properly, try testing another
door. If your Universal Tester does not work at several different
doors, contact Senior Technologies’ Technical Service at 800-824-
