The warranty on Tags is 2 years, and the batteries within the Tags are expected to last in ex-
cess of the warranty period, depending on the usage pattern. Do not leave Tags in the
detection field for long periods of time, and store them in the foil bags supplied. Failure to
do so will result in false alarms, and will reduce battery life.

•
Set up a regular system check schedule to verify that the Controllers, Receivers and Tags are
operational. Controllers should have the “Ready” light illuminated to show that they are
powered. Check the operation of the Controller daily by starting a bypass or triggering an
alarm using a Tag to ensure that it is fully operational and protecting the egress point where it
is located.

•
Check each Receiver on a regular basis to ensure that it can receive signals from Tags in the
“Off Body” condition. Failure to regularly check for this operation may lead to failure to de-
tect a Tag that is removed from an infant, and therefore compromising protection for the
infant.
