PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Model DXS-F1 is a battery powered, miniature, water-resistant*, supervised
fall detection pendant transmitter designed for use with Linear PERS Consoles.
The transmitter is supplied with an adjustable lanyard with a breakaway release.
When a person’s fall is detected by the transmitter’s internal accelerometer, or
when the pendant’s button is pressed, a digitally coded wireless signal is sent to
the companion Console. The signal indicator on the transmitter lights green when
the unit is activated. When activated using the pendant’s button, the transmitter
can send a signal for up to 30 seconds per activation. To insure sending a
complete signal, press the pendant’s button for a minimum of two seconds.
The DXS-F1 transmitter is factory set to a unique code, so no fi eld coding
is required. Consoles must be programmed to the transmitter’s code before
system testing and operation. Refer to the Console instructions for details on
programming.
After the fi rst activation, the transmitter will send a status signal every two hours.
Every two hours the transmitter also tests for a low battery. If the battery tests low,
a low battery signal is sent. If the transmitter is activated with a low battery, the
signal indicator will light red.
The transmitter is sealed to provide water-resistance. The unit’s battery is not
replaceable. The transmitter should be disposed of properly at the end of its battery
life. Please contact your service provider for environmentally responsible options.
* NOTE: Water resistance not tested by UL

IMPORTANT !!! Radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fi ll an important need in portable
wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As
such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that
occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.
• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer,
and these facts should be communicated to the ultimate users.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada license exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts
de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire
de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le
