Chapter 2: How to Use the PATROL SUITE RF Monitoring Manual
Purpose and Organization of this Manual
The purpose of this manual is to assist Officers with the setup and monitoring of PATROL SUITE RF
products so that electronically monitored participants are under close, accurate supervision thus enabling
program officers to focus their emphasis on casework.
The manual is organized to guide the Officer through the sequence of steps to install and monitor
PATROL SUITE RF products.
It is very important that the Officer read this section prior to enrolling and setting up a participant for the
selected program. Setup and operation includes completing any necessary agency instructions and
forms, preparing the PID (Personal Transceiver) and PHMU (Personal Home Monitoring Unit), and
placement of the equipment in the participant's home.
Range Testing of the equipment should be done at the participant's home to ensure the equipment is
functioning properly and thereby correctly signaling if the participant is within the previously designated
area (i.e., usually inside their home). These procedures are presented in “Range Testing.”
After reading the sections above, G4S Justice Services suggests the following sequence for finding
needed information concerning the use of the PATROL SUITE RF products.
