What you should do when the alarm is activated?
When in alarm, the EM-900WA flashes a red light while sounding a two-tone chime (either high or low volume)
and continues to do so until the "M" key is pressed. In case the transmitter is inoperative or is out of range (let's
assume Joe Smith left the area for more than 3 minutes) the following sequence takes place:
TX MISSING!
After pressing the M key
6253: JOE SMITH
Pressing "M" key once more stops the alarm sound and light flashing. At this point it is assumed that you have
taken notice of the patient's name and that appropriate action must be taken in the form of a physical search.
Following the next message, you will be given the option to use the EM-900WA as a portable signal detection unit
to find the patient wandering away from the immediate area.
PERFORM SEARCH?
YES (1) NO (2)
If YES, the following message is shown:
SEARCHING....
('M' TO STOP)
Since the unit is battery operated, you may now remove the EM-900WA from its cradle and carry it with you in an
attempt to locate the missing patient either inside or outside the premises.
IMPORTANT: Under normal operating conditions the unit should remain in its cradle to keep the battery at full
capacity in the event that you need portable operation for several hours.
While searching, once you are within range of the missing transmitter, the following message appears along with
a series chime tones (see notes below):
6253: JOE SMITH
Followed by
SIGNAL STRENGTH
High, Medium, or Low
The above message only appears if you're within range. However, this is a somewhat subjective indication on
how close you are to the transmitter, suggesting that you continue your search until the person wearing the
pendant transmitter is visibly located.
Note:
Pressing the 'M' button once more gives you the option to either stop or continue searching. Once you decide to
stop the SEARCH mode, you may return to the MONITOR mode and the process starts all over.
