Intended use: The FA223S and FA223D portable transmitters are intended to be
installed and serviced by licensed security professionals.
Besides having two Activation Buttons, the FA223D differs from the FA223S in the
following ways: housing color is gray, and the transmission indicator LED operates at
low intensity.
The FA223S and FA223D have water-resistant housings that protect the pendant
when worn in the bathtub, shower, rain, or other environments where the pen-
dant may be splashed with water or momentarily submerged.
To activate the FA223S, press and hold the
Activation Button
for at least 1 second.
To activate the FA223D, press and hold
both
Activation Buttons
for at least 1 second.
Alarm signals are transmitted multiple times, and are indicated by the blinking
Tra ns-
mit LED
.
Holding the buttons results in continuous transmission.
When either button is released, the FA223S/D will complete its alarm transmission,
then will send an alarm restoral signal so that receiver devices configured for fol-
lower mode will return to their normal state.
