  • The screws can only be installed or removed by the provided screw driver with a proprietary bit
  • This will ensure that unauthorized personal won't be able to tamper with the device once it is installed

    • 1 1/2"
    • 1 3/4"

To Install a Validator in a Client's location:

• The preferred method of installing a Validator is on a light switch plate nearest to the entry way of the room where the patient will be seen by the caregiver
  • Uncrew the bottom screw from the patients light switch plate
  • Align the screw-hole on the top of The Validator with the hole in the switch plate
  • First try to install The Validator with the shortest screw
  • If the screw isn't long enough, try using the next longest one
  • Only in rare cases should the longest screw be used
    • CAUTION: Do not attempt to use the longest screw when it is not absolutely necessary.  If the longest screw is used when a shorter one would suffice, the screw can mechanically damage the light switch which could increase the potential for injury
  • Use the provided screw driver to drive the screw into the light switch
  • Make sure that the device is secure by gently pulling on the device
• Alternatively, the security straps can be used to secure The Validator to a bed post or any other immovable sturdy object or piece of furniture
  • Notes: 
    • Mount the device so that the battery door is covered to prohibit unauthorized personnel from tampering with the batteries
    • The security strap works similar to a zip-tie
  • Feed the security strap through the slits on the side of the device
  • Wrap the strap around the object that you are trying to secure it to, and pull the strap through its locking inlet until it is secure
    • Note that once the straps begins to lock, you can't reverse or loosen the strap
    • If the strap needs to be removed, you'll have to cut it
