of the bed, press the KNEE

staff control, the rail
staff/patient controls, or on

3.3.4 Auto Contour Mode
When the head section of the mattress deck is elevated, there is often the tendency for the patient to slide
towards the foot end of the bed. The Auto Contour Mode helps to prevent this motion. The Auto Contour
mode automatically raises/lowers the knee section to, correspondingly, whenever the head section is raised
or lowered.
To activate Auto Contour mode, simply press the
CONTOUR button. The green LED in the top
right corner of the button (for Spirit™ and Spirit
Plus™ beds) or the entire CONTOUR button (for
Spirit Select™ beds) will illuminate when the
Contour mode has been activated.
To de-activate Auto Contour mode, simply press
the CONTOUR button again. If the CONTOUR
button is not illuminated, Auto Contour mode has
been de-activated.
NOTE: Patient lock-out will override Auto Contour if the knee elevation lock-out has been activated.
