The D500 Long-Term Care Bed is intended for use in the
electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbanc-
es are controlled. The customer or the user of the D500
Long-Term Care Bed can help prevent electromagnetic interfer-
ence by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and
mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
D500 Long-Term Care Bed and according to the maximum
output power of the communications equipment. Please contact
Dynarex at [email protected] for more information
and manufacturer technical specifications.
Special considerations should be given to proximity of D500
Long-Term Care Bed and patients who have a cardiac pace-
maker, implanted defibrillator, or other implanted metallic or
electronic device, because this may cause electrical interfer-
ence, or death. Contact Dynarex [email protected]
for manufacturer electromagnetic interference technical
specifications.
Interference to electronic equipment may occur
in the vicinity of devices marked with this symbol:
• To engage the Trendelenburg or Reverse Trendelenburg
position, raise the bed to its highest position first before
making the adjustment to position. Ensure there are no
obstruction around the bed before adjusting the position.
WHEN USING RAILS OR ASSIST BARS:
• Before operating, ensure that the bed rails/bars are
assembled and installed correctly as instructed.
•
DO NOT
apply side pressure to the bed rails/bars as it can
deform or damage the bed and/or bed rails/bars. Serious
harm or death may result from improper use of the bed
rails/bars.
•
DO NOT
use the bed rails/bar as a push handle for moving
the bed. This could deform or break the bed rails.
•
DO NOT
use the bed rails/bar if proper installation cannot
be achieved. Contact your dealer or manufacturer.
• When lowering the bed below 12.5" ensure the bed rails/
bars are raised. Lowering the bed below 12.5" with the bed
rails/bars in a lowered position may damage the bed.
• Read all instructions before assembling or using the bed.
•
DO NOT
exceed maximum weight limitation of the bed.
The maximum safe working load (SWL) of the bed is

proved for use with the bed. Use only Dynarex approved
parts and accessories.
DO NOT
make modifications to the
bed without authorization from the manufacturer. Doing so
will void the warranty. Serious harm or death may result
from the use of improper parts or accessories.
• The bed is
NOT

surface. Caution should be used when transferring the
individual to and from the bed.
•
ALWAYS
keep hands and feet away from the bottom of
the bed and any moving parts to avoid injury. Due to the
low bed clearance, extreme caution should be used as
under bed space and/or moving parts can create crush or
pinch points.
•
DO NOT
operate the bed with any items under the bed.
•
ONLY
use appropriate mattresses and
ALWAYS
adjust
the mattress retainer system accordingly to ensure the
mattress is fixed in place. The mattress must fit the frame

DO NOT
, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
ground prong from any plug. Some devices are equipped
with three-prong (ground) plugs for protection against
possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall recep-
tacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician
to have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with
the regional and national regulations. If you must use an
extension cable, use
ONLY
a three-wire extension cable
having the same or higher electrical rating as the device
being connected.
• Cables should be routed and secured properly to ensure
they are not damaged during normal operation.
DO NOT
use if any cable is cut, frayed or loosely connected to
the device. Cables may be damaged by inappropriate
handling, e.g. by kinking, shearing or other mechanical
damages. The cables are only replaceable by authorized
Dynarex service personnel.
• When moving the bed ensure the power cord and pen-
dants are secured. Ensure that the casters do not roll over
the cables.
