How To Use DEAFGARD ?
Deafgard is a Battery powered movable Fire and Wake-up alarm. Importantly, Deafgard ‘listens’ for the fire alarm in a building for persons who are not able to hear. When it ‘hears’ the building fire alarm, the Deafgard Pillow Pad vibrates and the Strobe Lights flash. It is designed to be used on a bed-side cabinet from where the Pillow Pad should be placed under the pillow or mattress.
