Initial Activation & Software Enrollment
The Lone Worker Transmitter is shipped from the factory in
Sleep Mode to conserve battery power during transit.
1. Prior to initial usage, remove the Activation Label and then
press, simultaneously, both of the emergency call push buttons
for at least 7 seconds.
This action Awakens the Transmitter from Sleep Mode and also
enrolls its unique factory installed ID Number (a six-digital
hexadecimal value) into the Host RTLS Application.
If the Enrollment process is successful, the Red LED
Status Indicator of the transmitter lights up for 3 seconds.
(Refer to your Eiris Configuration Guides for additional details.)
Battery Replacement
1. Temporarily suspend usage of the Transmitter in the host
RTLS application.
2. Place the transmitter on its right side. Remove the 2 screws
that hold the battery cover to the body of the Transmitter
3. First time replacement: Utilize the pull tab (find it with the
Bat▼ mark engraved on the back) to slide the battery out of
the Transmitter.
Future replacements: In the absence of the pull tab,
remove the cover from the other side, and use a plastic
instrument to slide the battery out.
Dispose of the used battery in accordance with local
regulations.
CAUTION! After removing the battery please wait at
least 30 seconds before installing the replacement battery
so as to not cause damage to the tag or to negatively affect
the tag’s operational performance.
4. Slide the new battery into the transmitter.
IMPORTANT! Ensure that the positive (+) side of the
battery faces up.
5. Close the side-cover(s) such that the screw holes are
correctly aligned. Tighten the 2 screws snugly into place. Do
not over-tighten as this may strip the case threads.
6. Reactivate the Transmitter in the Host RTLS Application.
Safety Issues
It is the responsibility of the system installer to ensure that the
appropriate staff members are suitably trained in the usage and
maintenance of the Lone Worker Transmitter.
Additionally, Supervisory Alerts should be configured in the Host
RTLS Application to notify staff members that the detection
Transmitter is:
 In a low battery condition, or
 Not properly transmitting location and status data.
Note: The above configured Supervisory Alerts should be triggered
periodically to ensure system integrity.
Alert Testing
When you press either the left or the right emergency call push-
button individually, you trigger the Lone Worker Transmitter to emit
a Test Alert Message for the host RTLS application to confirm that
the unit is functioning properly.
