C-4 Actiwatch Hardware
Standard Wrist Bands
Standard Actiwatch wrist bands are washable and disposable. Extra bands and
batteries are available from Mini Mitter. Bands may also be interconnected if
the device is to be worn on locations other than the wrist. Longer bands for use
around the ankle are also available from Mini Mitter, and a soft, nylon band with
hook and loop fastener. Other means to attach Actiwatch may be used as long as
the protocols of mounting and positioning are followed.
Marker Button
Actiwatch-16, Actiwatch-64, and Actiwatch-Score models are equipped with a
marker switch on the device’s front panel. When depressed this button provides
tacticfeedbackalertingthesubjecttoasuccessfulmarkingofthedateandtime.
A light sensor in Actiwatch-L replaces the marker button.
Animal Case
Both Actiwatch-16 and Actiwatch-64 can be fitted in the Actiwatch animal case.
This case protects Actiwatch from water, soil, shock, and gnawing. It does not
affect performance.
Actiwatch-L
The specifications and functions in this manual for Actiwatch-L pertain to those
devices manufactured on or after July 1, 1999. These devices are easy to identify
as they have a serial number that begins with the letter “P.” Actiwatch-L devices
manufactured before July 1, 1999 have serial numbers beginning with “L.” These
previous devices have different functional specifications and are not supported
by Actiware version 5 or later. If you have questions, contact Mini Mitter for
additional information.

Mitter for additional information.
