PERSONAL TRANSMITTER
User Instructions
DESCRIPTION
The SCOTT PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM is a
two part electronic system consisting of a Personal
Transmitter, which is a small personally worn alarm/
Transmitter, and a Hand Held Receiver, which is a directional receiver or “sniffer” used to locate the signal
coming from the Personal Transmitter. This line of electronic accessories is for use by fire fighters, first
responders, domestic preparedness and law enforcement officers, as well as haz-mat and industrial users.
These instructions (SCOTT P/N 595101-01) pertain only
to the Personal Transmitter.
Refer to the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM
User Instructions (SCOTT P/N 595102-01) for complete
instructions and warnings for use and maintenance of
the SCOTT PAK-TRACKER LOCATOR SYSTEM including the Hand Held Receiver. Those instructions must be
used as the basis for training in use of the whole system.
They include an overview of the system operation and
limitations, as well as user level maintenance.
Training and practice in realistic emergency simulations
is required before use of this equipment. The users must
become thoroughly familiar with the operation and the
limitations of the system before entering a potentially hazardous or life threatening situation.
WARNING
TRAINING IS REQUIRED BEFORE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT IN A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THE TRAINING MUST
INCLUDE EXTENSIVE PRACTICE WITH THE SYSTEM IN
A VARIETY OF ENVIRONMENTS. USE OF A TRACKING
SYSTEM WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING MAY PLACE THE
USER AT HIGHER RISK IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS
WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
