1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the VEVOR Wireless Bed Alarm System. This system is designed to assist caregivers in monitoring individuals, particularly elderly adults, to prevent falls by alerting when a person leaves their bed. The system utilizes a pressure-sensitive bed pad and a wireless pager for timely notifications.
Please Note:
- The term "Wireless" refers to the signal transmission between the bed sensor pad's transmitter and the pager. The bed sensor pad itself is connected to its transmitter via a cable.
- This device is intended as an aid for fall prevention and does not replace direct supervision.
2. Safety Information
Read all instructions before use. Failure to follow safety guidelines may result in injury or improper operation.
- Keep the device away from water and excessive moisture.
- Do not attempt to open or repair the device yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
- Ensure batteries are inserted correctly according to polarity markings.
- Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator activates.
- Keep small parts and batteries out of reach of children and pets.
- Position the bed sensor pad smoothly and without creases to ensure accurate pressure detection.

4. Product Overview
The VEVOR Wireless Bed Alarm System consists of two primary units:
- Bed Sensor Pad: A 14 x 30-inch pressure-sensitive pad designed to be placed under the bed sheet. It detects when a person's weight is removed from the pad.
- Wireless Pager: A portable receiver that receives signals from the bed sensor pad's transmitter and alerts the caregiver through adjustable sound, vibration, or silent modes.

5. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your VEVOR Wireless Bed Alarm System:
5.1. Install Batteries
The system requires batteries for both the sensor pad's transmitter and the pager. Batteries are not included and must be purchased separately.
- For the Sensor Pad Transmitter: Insert one 9V / 6LR61 battery.
- For the Pager: Insert three C / LR14 batteries.
Ensure correct polarity when inserting batteries. The pager and transmitter feature a low battery reminder to indicate when replacement is needed.

5.2. Position the Bed Sensor Pad
- Place the 14 x 30-inch bed sensor pad directly on the mattress, underneath the fitted bed sheet.
- Ensure the pad is positioned in the area where the individual's torso or hips will rest, allowing for optimal pressure detection when they are in bed.
- Make sure the pad lies flat without any wrinkles or folds, as this can affect its sensitivity.
- Route the pad's cable to the side of the bed where the transmitter will be located, ensuring it does not interfere with the individual's movement or become a tripping hazard.

6. Operating Instructions
Once the system is set up, follow these instructions for operation:
6.1. Power On and Test
- Ensure both the sensor pad's transmitter and the pager have fresh batteries.
- Place the pager within the transmission range (up to 300 ft / 91.44 m, with up to 131 ft / 40 m through walls).
- Have the individual lie down on the bed, ensuring they are positioned over the sensor pad.
- Wait a few moments for the system to register the presence.
- Have the individual carefully get off the bed. The pager should activate with an alarm, vibration, or silent alert depending on its settings.
- If the pager does not activate, check battery levels and ensure the pad is correctly positioned and connected.

6.2. Pager Settings
The pager offers customizable alert modes:
- Adjustable Volume: Use the volume controls on the pager to set the desired alert sound level.
- Silent Mode: Activate silent mode for discreet monitoring.
- Vibration Mode: Use vibration mode for tactile alerts, useful in noisy environments or for personal preference.
6.3. Alarm Shutoff
To silence the pager alarm, locate the slide switch on the side of the pager. Move the switch to the 'OFF' position to stop the alarm. You can then reset it to 'ALARM' or 'CHIME' as needed.

7. Maintenance
7.1. Cleaning the Sensor Pad
The bed sensor pad is made of waterproof PVC material, making it easy to clean.
- Wipe the surface of the pad with a damp cloth and mild disinfectant.
- Do not submerge the pad in water or use harsh chemical cleaners.
- Ensure the pad is completely dry before placing it back under the bed sheet.

7.2. Battery Replacement
When the low battery reminder activates on either the pager or the sensor pad transmitter, replace the batteries immediately to ensure continuous operation.
- Refer to Section 5.1 for the correct battery types for each component.
- Dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your VEVOR Wireless Bed Alarm System, refer to the following table:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pager does not alarm when person leaves bed. | Low or dead batteries in pager or transmitter. Pager out of range. Sensor pad improperly placed or faulty. | Replace batteries in both units. Move pager closer to the bed sensor pad. Ensure pad is flat and under the person's torso/hips. Check cable connection. |
| False alarms. | Pad not flat, creased, or object on pad. Incorrect sensitivity setting (if applicable). | Ensure pad is smooth and clear of other items. Reposition the pad. |
| Low battery indicator on. | Batteries are low. | Replace batteries in the indicated unit (pager or transmitter). |
| Weak or intermittent signal. | Pager too far from transmitter or excessive obstructions. | Move pager closer to the bed sensor pad. Reduce physical barriers between units if possible. |
