Instructions For Use:

Getting Started:

1. Remove the Receiver/Transmitter from packaging.

2. Install 2-AA batteries in each device.

3. Mount the Receiver onto alarm bracket as shown
(Fig 1 and 2). Mount the Transmitter onto bracket
(see mounting sections of Sitter Elite or KeepSafe
Deluxe IFUs).

4. Attach the Receiver cord to the Posey Sitter Elite or
Posey KeepSafe Deluxe alarm sensor port (Fig 3).

5. Turn on Posey alarm and put in Hold mode.

6. Install Posey sensor at desired location.

7. Place or mount Transmitter near the Posey sensor.

8. Plug in Posey sensor into Transmitter.

Paring Transmitter and Receiver:

9. To pair the devices, press and then release the pairing button
on each of the devices (Fig 4A, 4B). Make sure that the YELLOW
LED blinks quickly and then the RED LED blinks every 4 seconds
(devices are paired).

NOTE: If the YELLOW LED blinks slowly (every 2 seconds) on either
device, this indicates the device has previously been paired to another
device. To clear existing pairing, hold pairing button for 5-10 seconds
(until the YELLOW LED fi rst blinks quickly followed by the RED LED
blinking every one second).

10. When the new pairing setup is complete, the transmitter and receiver
should have the GREEN LED blinking every 4 seconds when the
patient is actually being monitored. The RED LED will blink every 4
seconds when a patient exits the sensor or when the sensor is in
failsafe mode or if on hold/suspend.

NOTE: Transmitters and receivers that have not yet been paired (brand new
and not used or previously used and unpaired) will have the RED LED blink
every one second.
NOTE: If the YELLOW LED blinks slowly (every 2 seconds) this indicates that
the device is attempting to pair to another device.

The alarm and sensor must remain within a distance of 20 feet
to properly pair. Once paired, if either device is moved outside the 20-foot
range, they will lose connection.

Testing:

11. Activate the Posey
Sensor by applying
pressure on the pad.

12. Ensure GREEN
LED blinks on both
Transmitter and Receiver.

13. Remove pressure from the Posey Sensor pad.

14. Ensure the RED LED blinks on both Transmitter and Receiver and
Alarm is alarming.

15. Place patient on the Posey Sensor pad.

16. Ensure GREEN LED blinks on both Transmitter and Receiver before
leaving the patient unattended.

Testing sensor pad

Before You Begin:

The Posey Transmitter and Posey Receiver are designed to convert a Posey
Sitter Elite® or Posey KeepSafe® Deluxe® into a single channel wireless
alarm. The Posey Receiver connects to a centrally located Posey Alarm via
the Sensor Port and mounts below on the 8208 Posey Wall Bracket. The
Posey Transmitter is compatible with all Posey Sensors. The Posey
Transmitter and Posey Receiver must be paired for proper operation. “Pairing”
means that a connection is established between the Transmitter and
Receiver. Eliminating the cord between the alarm and sensor is designed to
promote a safer, more convenient environment for patients and care staff.

NOTE: Failure to use care may damage the wireless receiver or transmitter
and render the unit non-operational.

NOTE: Before use, make sure to read the instructions for use for the
appropriate alarm (Posey Sitter Elite or Posey KeepSafe Deluxe alarm). A
copy of the alarm instructions is included with the alarm and can also be
downloaded at www.posey.com.

Cleaning Instructions:

Transmitter and Receiver, Sensor Pad, Cables and Alarm Housing
Device (exterior only):

•

Use a dampened clean cloth with disinfectant. (Do not soak the units
in liquid.)

•

Use special care to prevent liquid from entering the connector ports or
other openings in the receiver or transmitter.

•

Use extra care to clean sensor cord plugs.

•

Use a clean, DRY cloth to dry all parts.

•

Never use PHENOL-BASED disinfectants as damage to the plastic
housing can occur.

•

Never immerse the receiver or transmitter in liquid.

•

Never sterilize with heat.

Battery Use and Maintenance:

•

Always use two (2) fresh AA alkaline batteries. New batteries typically
last 60 days with daily use; actual battery life may vary.

•

A fl ashing RED LED and GREEN LED signal that batteries are nearly
depleted. Once the indicator light begins fl ashing, batteries should be
changed within 72 hours. When battery life becomes critically low,
an alarm sounds. If batteries are not replaced in a timely manner, the
Receiver and Transmitter lose connection, and the alarm will continue
to sound.

•

Do not mix brands or old and new batteries or use the device if there
is corrosion on the batteries or in the battery compartment.

•

If there is any evidence of battery leakage, remove Receiver or
Transmitter from use at once and notify the appropriate facility authority.

– Do not use the Receiver or Transmitter
– Do not attempt to clean it if there are any signs of battery leakage,

such as corrosion, rust, or white powder residue.

– Dispose of Receiver or Transmitter according to facility disposal

requirements.

Unpairing For Storage:

•

Unpair devices prior to storage by holding down the pairing button
on each device until the YELLOW LED fi rst blinks quickly followed by
the RED LED blinking every one second. This can take between 5-10
seconds per each device to complete the unpairing.

•

Remove batteries if it’s anticipated the wireless system being out of
service for at least three weeks. This will prevent battery depletion and
potential corrosion.

•

The devices may be stored in ambient warehouse temperatures at
normal humidity levels. Avoid excess moisture or high humidity that
may damage product materials.

•

Do not unpair the transmitter and receiver simultaneously as this may
cause the devices to re-pair; unpair one device, remove the batteries
and then do the same with the other device.

Disposal:

Dispose of per your facility policy or applicable local code.

Warnings:

The Posey Receiver and Transmitter are electronic devices. They may fail
to work if subjected to severe shock, such as being dropped, or
immersed in liquid.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, test the alarm and sensor for
proper operation prior to putting in service with a patient, and each time
before leaving the patient unattended.
If the Receiver and/or Transmitter do not function properly, remove the
Receiver and/or Transmitter from service and replace them with a properly
functioning Receiver and/or Transmitter. DO NOT use the Receiver and/or
Transmitter if it does not activate the alarm each time weight is removed
from the sensor or the chair belt sensor is unfastened.
