PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLERS
Wear gloves and a face mask when installing bracelets or when handling bracelets that have not been cleaned and disinfected. This will minimize the risk of contracting communicable diseases.

Properly clean and disinfect all SCRAM Systems devices before installation and/or assignment using the instructions provided on the SCRAM Systems Help and Support site.
Replace SCRAM CAM and SCRAM HA bracelet batteries as recommended by the monitoring system or a SCRAM Systems Customer Service representative. Always use 3-volt lithium CR2 batteries in SCRAM CAM or SCRAM HA devices.
Do not reuse or attempt to recharge SCRAM CAM or SCRAM HA device batteries.
Replace the backup batteries in SCRAM Standard Base Stations and SCRAM Wireless Base Stations when they will no longer hold a charge. Only use replacement batteries provided by SCRAM Systems.
Do not attempt to replace batteries in SCRAM GPS bracelets or SCRAM Remote Breath Pro devices.
