Device Tamper Alert
Depending on why the SCRAM GPS bracelet was removed and the bracelet’s status at the time of the removal, it is possible that a Device Tamper alert may have been generated during the removal process. It is best practice to navigate to the SCRAMNET GPS Dashboard and resolve any device tamper alerts that may have been triggered during the removal and or installation process for that client before letting the client leave.
Disinfecting and Cleaning
SCRAM Systems recommends disinfecting and cleaning the equipment between client use and when returning it to SCRAM Systems to prevent the spread of germs. For current device cleaning information, visit the GPS Device Cleaning article.
