Device Installation

Turning on the Companion Mini (Monitor)
The monitor (companion mini) is shipped in a low power
state and needs waking up before use. The monitor is
woken up by pressing the recessed "Test" button on the
front of the monitor (Figure 1), typically using a pen tip.
When the monitor is woken up, it firstly enters a
60 second "Test Mode" before falling into normal
operation. The green "Alarm" LED will flash to indicate
the unit is now turned on and in "Test Mode". Test mode
allows the user to easily test the positioning of the
monitor (See page 10), after which it will operate normally
and the LED will stop flashing until an alarm condition
is detected.
Turning off the Companion Mini (Monitor)
The mini will run for over a year in continuous use,
however if the companion mini is no longer needed it can
be turned off by press and holding the "Test" button for
8 seconds. The green light will flash rapidly for 1 second
upon shutting down.
PLEASE NOTE:
After turning the companion mini off, any device
that it is paired with will now raise an "RF Fail"
alarm after 2 minutes. This is due to the devices
no longer receiving the 8 second Safelink signals
from the mini that they are expecting. To stop the
warning the mini will need to be unpaired from the
device or deactivated on the pager.
