4.  OPERATION   

 

4.1 Handset Controls 

 

WARNING

 

It is recommended that the couch be positioned at its lowest height when unattended 
by caregivers to minimise the risk of patient injury from falls. 

 

Ensure that there is adequate clearance between the outer extremities of the couch 
and other building fixtures and equipment when operating couch functions.

 

 

Adjustment of the couch occurs only while the button is pressed. Adjustment will stop 
when the button is release, or the movement selection reaches the end of its range of 
adjustment. 

 

 

 

WARNING

 

If the handset cable is accidentally run over or sustains damage or suspected 
damage in any way, immediately stop using the handset and perform full checks as 
detailed in the Maintenance Section of these instructions.
