Harris Communication SafeAwake Fire Alarm Aid with Bed Shaker

Sleep peacefully while feeling confident that you will wake up when your T3 smoke detector is activated. The SafeAwake Fire Alarm Aid works with existing smoke detectors to provide essential protection for deaf and hard of hearing people, or those who might not wake up to the standard audible alert of an ordinary smoke detector. SafeAwake is not a smoke detector. This product is only designed to work with smoke alarms that emit a T3 alarm pattern (three beeps followed by a pause). It will not work with alarms that emit a continuous tone pattern with no pauses. If you are uncertain as to which pattern your smoke alarm uses, please contact us for assistance.

Once your T3 smoke detector is activated, the SafeAwake alerts you with bed shaker, a flashing white light and a high decibel, low frequency (520Hz) alarm. This 520Hz tone has been proven to be significantly more effective at waking those with mild to severe hearing loss when compared to the standard domestic and commercial smoke alarm audible signal which currently produces a 3000Hz signal.

Features:

• Intermittent bed shaker: 18% more effective than continuous signal bed shakers for alerting the hard of hearing

• Low frequency 520Hz sound: 30% more effective than high frequency sound (3,200Hz) for the hard of hearing

• Fast sound reception for smoke alarms with T3 sound

• Indicator light tells user that SafeAwake is active

• Plug-in power supply with battery backup provides continuous notification of operating T3 smoke detectors

• Large Test button

• Auto Shutoff and Reset after 2 minutes

• UL 217 and UL1971 labels
