4. Setup Instructions
4.1. Battery Installation
- For Motion Sensors: Open the battery compartment cover on the back of each motion sensor. Insert 4 AA batteries into each sensor, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the cover securely.
- For Caregiver Pager: The pager typically uses an AC adapter (optional, not included) or batteries. If using batteries, open the compartment and insert the required batteries (refer to the pager unit for specific battery type, usually AA or AAA).
4.2. Motion Sensor Placement
Strategic placement of the motion sensors is crucial for effective monitoring and fall prevention. Consider the following guidelines:
- Bedside Monitoring: Place a motion sensor adjacent to the bed, on the floor, or a bedside table. Position it to detect movement when an individual attempts to exit the bed.

- Hazardous Areas: Position sensors in areas where falls are likely, such as near stairs or bathroom entrances.
- Mounting Options: Sensors can be placed on a flat surface using their convertible bottom stand or mounted on a wall using the included screws or adhesive tape. The rotatable bracket allows for flexible positioning.
