Sitter Elite 9
Setting Alarm Mode
The Sitter Elite has four (4) alarm modes. These allow you to select an alarm signal best suited
to patient and facility needs. The LED blinks green above the mode that the alarm is set to
when the alarm is on (fig. 6, page 10). The LED above the MUTE indicator blinks yellow when
the alarm is on and in “Mute” mode (fig. 6, page 10).
Mode Features:
When using a nurse call cable, ensure the nurse call cable is plugged in to
both the alarm and the wall jack before leaving the patient unattended. Verify that an
alert is received at the nursing station if the cable is unplugged from the wall jack.
NOTE: There will be no alert at the nursing station or at the bedside if the nurse call cable
is unplugged from the alarm.
To Change/Select Mode:
NOTE: “Voice Only” and “Mute” can be set only
when the nurse call cable is plugged into your alarm.
With this feature, all mode options are available.
Be sure to plug the nurse call cable into wall and
test. You MUST plug the nurse call cable into the
alarm AND the wall jack in order to activate nursing
station alerts.
Follow these steps to change or select alarm mode:
1. Lift the programming control protective cover
(fig. 4).
2. Ensure alarm is on and either sensor pad, chair
belt sensor, or magnet is attached to alarm.
Ensure pressure is on sensor pad, chair belt sensor

VOICE & TONE: Depending on whether a custom voice recording is made, either the factory
default voice or a custom voice recorded message plays once, followed by
the selected alarm tone. The tone continues to play until alarm is placed on
hold or patient is repositioned with the magnet or sensor.
TONE: This is the factory default mode. Selected alarm tone plays until alarm is
placed on hold or patient is repositioned with the magnet or sensor.
VOICE ONLY: (This mode requires the nurse call cable to be plugged into your alarm and
the appropriate wall jack from your nurse call system). Custom voice or
factory default voice message plays repeatedly until alarm is placed on
hold or patient is repositioned with the magnet or sensor. This mode also
activates the facility nurse call system. Automatically switches to VOICE &
TONE if a nurse call cable is removed from the alarm (see page 18).
MUTE: (This mode requires the nurse call cable to be plugged into your alarm
and the appropriate wall jack from your nurse call system). There is no
audible voice message or alarm tone at the patient’s bedside. This mode
activates the facility nurse call system. Automatically switches to VOICE &
TONE if the nurse call cable is removed from the alarm (see page 18).
