How It Works

 

Deafgard X

Deafgard X is activated by System X (TX). When Deafgard X receives a signal from the TX unit, the Deafgard X bedside unit will activate the high intensity strobe and connected vibrating pillow pad. A flashing strobe and LCD provide visual indication that the fire alarm is sounding, allowing the deaf or hard of hearing person to leave their room to a place of safety.

Operating Deafgard X

On/Off

  1. Turning the unit on for the first time or after changing batteries:
    Depress the on/off button (top left button on the keypad marked 1 on diagram page 3 in your Fitting and Operating Guide) to turn the listening circuitry on. The listening circuits will remain active until the unit is manually switched off.
    The LCD will also flash to inform the user that the time needs to be set. The LCD will flash for 30 seconds.
  2. Turning the unit on when in passive mode (batteries installed and time set):
    Depress the on/off button (top left button on the keypad) to turn the listening circuitry on. The listening circuits will remain active until the unit is manually switched off.
    The LCD will display the time.
  3. Turning the unit off:
    Depress the on/off button (top left button on the keypad) for more than 3 seconds to turn the LCD and listening circuits off. If the time has been set, the internal timer will continue to run despite the unit being turned off.
