Reducing False Alarms

Your TagAlert™ uses advanced Radio Frequency 'RF' technology that offers exceptional advantages by not requiring the MONITOR and TAG to have direct line of site to work.

However, operation may be affected by the manner in which the MONITOR and TAG are worn on the body or attached to an item. Under certain, conditions the ALERT range may become shorter resulting in false alarms.

To Reduce False Alarms Try One or More of the Following Four (4) Suggestions:
  1. Put setting on LONG
  2. Using a strap to attach the TAG to an item is preferred over direct adhesion to some surfaces (like a cell phone or an iPOD).
  1. Adjust location of MONITOR or TAG to be closer to each other. The body can greatly shorten the alert range so try to position the MONITOR and TAG on the same side of the body.
    See examples in diagrams above.
  2. If false alarms persist, press SNOOZE to silence alarm for 10 minutes, or turn MONITOR off for 15 seconds and then turn back on.
GENERAL TIPS
  1. The MONITOR performs best when worn away from your body, such as attached to a purse strap or clipped to a belt loop. Try to avoid attaching many keys to it and putting it in then pocket of your pants
  2. To minimize false alarms, keep TAG as close as possible to the MONITOR at all times.
  3. Metal objects, such as coins, may cause false alarms if they touch or are located very close to the MONITOR or TAG
  4. Test the MONITOR and TAG in the manner they will be worn (example : MONITOR clipped to purse strap or pants belt and TAG on cell phone in pocket or belt holster).
