Getting started
Screen & keypad
The screen will display: the time, alarm
settings, low battery, faults, error
messages and fire alarm conditions.
If the Deafgard unit is in a fire condition,
the screen will display “FIRE”.
There are two battery compartments on
the front and back of the unit.
1. Connect the pillow pad to the
Deafgard unit using the cable and then
place the pad in the cradle.
2. Unscrew the battery compartments
and insert the batteries.
3. Screw the battery compartments
closed.

Batteries
Only use alkaline batteries and do not
use re-chargeable batteries.
The batteries supplied should last at
least 12 months. Deafgard regularly checks
the battery life.
If the screen displays “BATT”, it means
there are approximately 7 days of battery
life. In this case, we recommend to change
the batteries immediately.

The lights - strobe and status
There are 3 lights on the Deafgard unit.
One status light in the centre which flashes
GREEN or RED, and 2 strobe lights on
each side which flash WHITE.
The strobe lights will flash when there is a
fire, or if there is a major fault.
The status light will flash according to the
status of the Deafgard unit.
Under normal conditions, when the
Deafgard is turned on the status light will
flash GREEN once every 16 seconds.
The status light will flash RED once
every 8 seconds if there is a minor fault.
If a major fault occurs the status light
will flash RED once every 4 seconds.
Whilst in a fault condition, every 16
seconds the strobe lights will flash and
pillow pad will vibrate.
The status light will stay RED
throughout a fire alarm condition.
