Wireless Pendant™ WP-2
Operating Instructions
NOTE: The Pendant is water-resistant, that is, it can withstand
limited exposure to liquids. However, it is not waterproof,
and should not be immersed in any liquid.
Universal Medical Products’ Wireless Pendant™ can be used in
place of or along with a Transmitter (model WT-2) in the UMP
Wireless Sentry™ monitoring system to send an emergency alarm
signal to the Receiver (model WR-3 or WR-4). It can be worn either
around the neck or on the wrist. It operates on three LR44 1.5V
button cell batteries (included). On Standby status, these batteries
will last for approximately 3 years. We recommend that you test the
Pendant periodically to be sure the batteries are working. If the
communication distance or the brightness of the alarm LED is
reduced, replace all three batteries with new ones.
To replace batteries
1. Remove the two screws on the back of the Pendant and lift
off the front of the casing.
2. Pry out the old batteries with a pen or small screwdriver.
3. Place the new batteries into position, being sure to align the
polarities correctly. Match the “+” sign on the batteries with
the “+” marked in the battery compartment.
4. Before screwing the front of the unit back into place, press
the blue circle to be sure the batteries have been installed
correctly and are operational. The LED should go on.
5. Reprogram the device if necessary (see below).
Programming
The Pendant can activate the Receiver after being programmed
as described below:
1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button of the Receiver until
the green PROGRAM LED lights up. The LED indicating
the first empty station location will flash.
2. Press the PROGRAM button to select the desired empty
location. The LED of each empty station will light up in turn
each time the button is pushed.

3. Press and hold the ALARM button (blue circle) on the
Pendant until you hear a long beep from the Receiver and
the station LED stops flashing.
4. Press the PROGRAM button to program the next empty
station,
OR
Press CONFIRM on the Receiver to return to normal
monitor mode.
Operation
In an emergency, the Receiver can be activated using the Pendant.
Pressing the ALARM button once will transmit the alarm signal to
the Receiver for approximately 3 minutes. The alarm sound on the
Receiver will be activated. The LED on the Pendant will flash to help
the caregiver identify the source of the alarm signal.
To stop the alarm sound on the Receiver, press the ALARM RESET
button on the Receiver. The corresponding location LED will also go
off. The Pendant will be disabled for about 6 seconds after sending
the alarm signal. After this time, the Pendant will reset itself
automatically and can then be used again.
For more details on the operation of the Wireless Sentry system,
see the Operator’s Manual included with the Receiver.
