Wanderless Receiver Manual 2.4 July-05 DPR Page 2 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Wanderless System by Locator Systems Corp., a proactive tool for the prevention and locating of Alzheimers and Dementia patients who wander or hide. What is the Wanderless System?

The Wanderless System gives care providers the power to monitor and locate wander-prone Alzheimer's residents. Alzheimers and Dementia Resident Wandering Where did they go? How long ago they leave? Where to start searching? Should the authorities be contacted?

65% of Alzheimers patients will wander out of caretaker control at least once a year. (Source: www.alz.org) Why Wanderless is important for your facility or care home?

As the caregiver, Wanderless gives you real-time notification if a resident leaves your the facility, and more importantly the ability to locate and return a resident if they have wandered away or have hidden. How Wanderless works The Personal Locator Transmitter (PLT) worn by a wander-prone resident transmits the location back to the Wanderless Receiver using the proven technology of VHF directional radio frequency. Wanderless provides two-

stage protection:

Stage One - Safety Zone Monitor and Prevent: Wanderless notifies you if your patient has left a preset safety zone, Stage Two - Locate and Return: Find a resident with VHF radio directional finding if they have wandered away.

Wanderless Receiver Manual 2.4 July-05 DPR Stage One Monitor and Prevent Set the monitor and prevent safety zone:

By increasing the RF Gain, you increase the radius of the safety zone By decreasing the RF Grain, you decrease the radius of the safety zone Tip: Setting the range of the safety zone depends on how much safe wandering freedom you want to give your patient(s). Set the safety zone radius around your house, to the property line, or out into the neighborhood. Page 8 Setting the safety zone around your home/facility Turn on/off the monitor and prevent alarm The Alarm is preset to ON all the time to notify you if a PLT has left the safety zone. Press the blue Menu/Exit key Press number 6 Alarm, to turn off Alarm, monitor and prevent. How to locate wanderer If a resident wearing a PLT wanders too far away from the Wanderless Receiver, an audible alarm sounds. The care provider can see which PLT has lost contact with the Receiver. The caregiver can then go outside and make line of site of the resident and return them. If the alarm sounds, press any key to turn off alarm. The Osprey display screen will show which PLT the Receiver lost contact with. If the monitor and prevent alarm has sounded, and the caregiver cannot find the wandering patient, go to Stage Two locate and return. If a PLT goes beyond the safety zone, the alarm will sound. Press any key to turn off alarm. For silent monitoring, press the blue A SPKR button for silent monitoring. If the PLT goes beyond the safety zone, the alarm will sound. If the alarm has been activated and turned off by the care provider, the Stage One alarm must be reactivated:

Press the blue Menu/Exit key Press number 6 Alarm, to turn on Monitor and prevent Exercise - Set up the wireless safety zone The safety zone alarm is defaulted to ON when you turn on the Wanderless receiver. If the receiver cannot pick up the PLT, the audible alarm will sound. Press any key to turn off the alarm. The alarm will sound again in 10 seconds if it still cannot pickup the signal. To turn the Alarm function on/off, press the blue Menu button, you can then toggle the Alarm on or off by pressing (6). To adjust the safety zone radius, adjust the GAIN setting. Press (1), then use the UP or DOWN arrow to increase the safety zone radius. Exercise A) set the gain on the receiver to 2% to set up a small safety zone radius. Make sure that the Alarm is turned ON. Take the PLT and walk away from the Receiver. Note how far you can get before the audible alarm sounds. Press any key to turn off alarm. Increase the gain to create a wider safety zone. Safety zone range can be slightly affected by solid metal structures. Wanderless Receiver Manual 2.4 July-05 DPR Stage Two Locate and Return How to find residents who have wandered away 1. Remove the Monitor and Prevention antenna from the Receiver 2. Attach the Stage Two Locate and Return antenna to the receivers BNC antenna jack (located at the top of the Receiver). (Either a Yagi antenna or a Yagi in an artists portfolio) Page 9 3. Turn on the receiver. 4. Set the frequency on the receiver to the Personal Locator Transmitter transmitter being tracked. 5. Adjust the RF gain and Audio Volume to the maximum setting to first acquire radio signal. 6. Then adjust each down to a comfortable listening level; audio will likely be less than 30% and RF gain will likely be less than 80%. Move the antenna slowly around to determine which direction the strongest signal is coming from. If the locator Transmitter signal is weak, move the antenna in a different direction, until the PLT signal strength is stronger. (This is like playing a game of Getting Warmer, or Hot and Cold). 7. Follow the direction of the strongest signal to locate the transmitter. Frequently pan the antenna from side to side, to optimize Locating accuracy. Bring the equipment with you to refine your search, in case the wander has changed direction. 8. As you move closer to the transmitter, you need to adjust RF gain down to optimize directional sensitivity and distance perception. This might require reduction to the lowest setting in order to distinguish the direction with the strongest relative signal. TIP: Use of earphones improves Locating effectiveness in most environments. Plug in earphones and press

(to turn speaker off) if desired. Exercise A) Learning VHF directionality with the Osprey Receiver and Yagi Locator Antenna Set up the Personal Locator Transmitter (PLT) about 15 feet away from you. Attach the Yagi locator antenna into the top of the Osprey receiver. Turn the Receiver on. Set the Gain to 15%

With the PLT directly in front of you, slowly do 180-degree sweep with the locator antenna from right to left. Note how the PLT signal increases the closer you get to it, then decreases as you move away. LISTEN to the PLT "chirp" and SEE signal strength indicator (####) at the top of the Wanderless receiver screen. Locating a PLT is like playing a game of "Hot or Cold": if the PLT signal/sound is weak - you're getting colder, if the PLT signal is strong - youre getting warmer. REMEMBER: search for the PLT chirp with the locator antenna -look at the receiver for signal strength (obvious, but should be mentioned, just in case) When you feel comfortable locating the PLT signal, set up the PLT approximately 100 feet away from you, and do the same 180 degree sweep. Note that the PLT signal is slightly weaker. Increase the Gain as required if you cannot hear the "chirp" or see the signal on the display. Once you pick up the signal, walk towards the PLT. Note the increase in the PLT signal strength. As you get closer the signal, you'll notice that it becomes harder to get directionality from the PLT. The signal strength seems to remain constant even when you move the antenna in all directions. Remember to lower the Gain, and do a slow 360 degree sweep. You might have walked past the PLT - if so, lower the gain further, and do a slow 360-degree sweep. Exercise B) Hide and go seek Have someone hide the PLT in a stationary location about 200 feet away from you, then go locate it with Wanderless Receiver. Always start with the Gain at a low setting (15%) REMEMBER: start with the gain low. If you cannot pick up the PLT signal, then increase the Gain to extend the tracking distance. Do a slow complete 360-degree sweep using the locator antenna. If you do not hear or see the PLT signal on the display, turn up the Gain by 10%. Move the locator antenna up Wanderless Receiver Manual 2.4 July-05 DPR and down slowly while doing the sweep if you are tracking in a multi-level building, or in hilly or mountainous terrain. Repeat the 360 sweeps, remember - do it slowly. Listen and see the signal on the receiver display. Page 10 Once you have determined the strongest signal - walk in that direction. As you get closer the signal, you'll notice that the signal strength remains constant even when you move the antenna in all directions. Remember to lower the Gain, and do a slow 360 degree sweep. You might have walked past the PLT - if so, lower the gain, and complete a slow, 360-degree sweep. Remember: Always isolate the PLT signal strength by reducing the gain. As you get close to the PLT and the signal gets too strong to determine directionality turn the Gain down. TIP: to locate a PLT in a small search area (ie: within a 10 ft area) can require reducing the Gain to 2% or even 0%. Exercise C) Hide and go seek - slow moving target Have someone walk slowly and erratically around with the PLT. Locate them. TIP: Safety First! Remember to look around as you track. Some beginner trackers become focused on the Osprey receiver display signal and dont watch where they are walking. TIP: use stereo headphones to improve the ability to listen for the PLT signal. Triangulation locating a wanderer Triangulation is a procedure you can use to determine the location of the Personal Locator Transmitter i.e. produce a fix - of your transmitter from a distance. This procedure will require two or more bearings. 1. Choose a site for the first bearing reading. 2. Tune in the transmitters signal. 3. Determine the direction of the strongest signal. 4. Find a second site and take a bearing reading. This second station should be about 45 - 135 relative to station #1; 90 is ideal. 5. Determine where the two bearings intersect. This is the approximate location of the transmitter. By repeating this from more sites, you will further improve the accuracy of your fix. Wanderless Receiver Manual 2.4 July-05 DPR How to locate a Wanderer Procedure 1. Pull cable from back of Receiver to release from charging kit. 2. Unplug the vehicle mounted VHF whip antenna from the BNC connector on the top of the Receiver. 3. Attach the coax cable from the three element Yagi locator antenna to the top of the Receiver. 4.

As you get closer the transmitter turn the % gain down to provide more directionality. Factors Affecting Locating Performance The following conditions can adversely affect the Locating range of your system:

1. Weather conditions, especially fog and rain, can reduce the range and confound directional accuracy. 2. Thick vegetation and high-density metropolitan areas can reduce the range. You may find that range is better in the fall when there is less foliage. 3. Large objects or landforms between the transmitter and the receiver can reduce the range and directional accuracy. To improve the Locating performance we suggest the following:

1. Raise the height of the Locating antenna by using a pole. 2. Track from the highest point in the area. 3. Use high quality headphones. 4. Try changing antenna element orientation from vertical to horizontal (i.e. with elements parallel with earth). 5. Learn to adjust RF Gain down as much as is comfortable to retain audible signal 6. Use Locator Systems Corp. transmitters.

Each frequency that you want to scan must be entered into a channel. Scanning time only needs to be entered once and applies to all channels. The Wanderless receiver will scan consecutive channels until it reaches a blank channel. It will then go back to the first channel of that series and continue scanning. Groups of channels can be used to separate animal groupings in your study. The last number entered determines the active group of channels. To select a group of channels, re-enter a channel number in that group from the Scanning Menu. For example, if channels 9-23 and 27-38 have frequencies entered, 9-23 is a group and 27-38 is a group. If the last channel entered was 23, then 9-23 is the active group. There must be a minimum of one blank channel to separate each group of channels. For example you could enter frequencies into channels 1 13, then 15 20. The fact that channel 14 was not used thus determines that 2 groups existed. The channel numbers and frequencies are retained even if the batteries are removed. Press To enter channels from the Scanning Menu:

Make final wipes with a rinsed cloth. Note: Use of any other cleaning agents may damage plastic parts and void warranty. Water Proofing The Wanderless receiver is waterproof to 1 meter of water for 15 minutes. The O-ring seals should be inspected annually and a new film of silicon grease applied (e.g. Dow Corning 111). If receiver is hit on a hard object or dropped onto a hard surface, it should be thoroughly inspected for damage to any sealing component, cracking, etc. Partial disassembly and resealing of O-rings may be necessary to re-establish water sealing. It is recommended to always dry the unit after use. If exposed to salt water, the receiver should be rinsed with fresh water and then dried. To maintain the waterproof seal, the case mounting screws, screw seals, face O-ring, and battery case O-ring must all be properly installed. Only the battery pack is intended for user servicing. Disassembly of other receiver components may compromise waterproof seal and void warranty. Battery Charging The Wanderless receiver has internal lithium batteries, a built in charging circuit, and room for a backup 9V alkaline battery. To charge the batteries, remove the circular black base plate on the back of the receiver and applying power to the circular power connector. Either the external AC wall transformer or the DC car cigarette adaptor (both supplied with the receiver) can be used. When the charging power is applied to the receiver the red lamp will light. The green lamp indicates that the batteries are currently being charged. The green light will turn off when charging is complete. The charging of the internal lithium batteries can be started and stopped at any point in the charge cycle. The internal lithium battery provides 50 to 75 hours of operation from a full charge. Backup Battery Power If the internal lithium batteries run down, the receiver runs on a backup 9V battery. To install the backup 9V, remove the two Phillips screws at the bottom, take off plate, and attach the 9V battery into the base compartment of the receiver. Reattach base plate. The receiver will operate for approximately 20 hours on one 9V alkaline battery. Precautions The Wanderless HR2600 is a telemetry receiver with exceptional signal sensitivity. Circuitry is in place to reduce risk of damage due to powerful signals from nearby transmitters. However, it is recommended that the Wanderless be operated at least 3 meters away from any transmitter operating with > watt output. For personal safety and risk of receiver damage, do not use in an electrical storm. Operating in Extreme Conditions Cold Weather All receiver functions except LCDs are designed to operate to -40C with fresh batteries installed. The LCD is factory specified to operate to -10C. In extreme cold, placing the receiver against body or inside shirt pocket will Wanderless Receiver Manual 2.4 July-05 DPR warm it sufficiently to regain LCD contrast. Similarly, this procedure will temporarily revive batteries to lengthen operating time in extreme cold. Hot Weather Hot weather conditions will generally not reduce receiver performance. However, never leave the receiver for extended periods near heaters or in direct sunlight e.g. on the dashboard of a vehicle where temperatures can approach 90C and cause permanent damage to receiver.

****CRITICAL NOTICE***

READ BEFORE FIELD USE LOCATING SUCCESS WILL DEPEND ON IT, ESPECIALLY FOR SCANNING AND AERIAL LOCATING. 1. When entering transmitter frequencies into receivers from different manufacturers, especially when entering SCANNING frequencies, each receiver might require a slightly different frequency setting for each transmitter. This is especially true for some receivers, that have been used for many years and are out of tune. Therefore, it is very important to optimize the setting for each receiver by listening for the strongest and most comfortable/crisp signal with the antenna attached (doesnt have to be aiming at the transmitter) and at least several meters away from the tag with the receiver on relatively low gain setting. The difference between receivers (any manufacturer) can be several kHz, but usually they are within 2 kHz. Once optimized, it is advised that notes be filed for each receiver for future reference. If optimization is not done, you might interpret signals of previously deployed transmitters as weak or miss them entirely. If possible, conduct optimization settings on all transmitters before entering the field to avoid loss of costly airtime and/or a transmitter 2. This receiver is particularly effective for close-range discrimination of signal direction due to unique circuitry, and Gain and Audio adjustment design. Use of the full Gain and/or Audio scale (0 99) for some applications will be necessary to optimize Locating comfort and effectiveness. If NOT used properly, signal might appear weak and/or be missed altogether. 3. Related to item 2. : all manufacturers and designs of receivers follow different approaches or formats for Gain and Audio settings. Comparing for example, 80% gain of this receiver with 80% of another manufacturers receiver is NOT a valid comparison. Therefore, do not expect to use % or other field number settings for another manufacturers receiver with this or any other receiver. The Locating and listening comfort and effectiveness WILL BE DIFFERENT if you do so and can result in not locating a transmitter.
