Optional Resident and Caregiver Siderail Controls
Resident and caregiver controls are located on both head end siderails and on a
separate handset control. These controls allow the resident and caregiver to
electrically operate the head section, knee section, and hilow (bed height) to
obtain the desired elevation within their respective travel limits. With the head
end siderail in the raised position, the control panels are easily accessible to the
resident. A control lockout box is located at the foot end of the bed to enable
deactivation of each electrically operated function (see “Control Lockout Box”
on page 3-9).
Resident Control Panel
A resident control panel is located on the inside of both head end siderails for
convenience. The pictorially labeled activator buttons on both panels control
the head and knee functions.
Caregiver Control Panel
A caregiver control panel is located on the outside of both head end siderails.
The control activators face the caregiver, minimizing accessibility to the
resident. The pictorially labeled activator buttons on both panels control the
bed’s hilow function.
Control Lockout Box
The control lockout box is located at the foot end of the bed. The control
lockout is pictorially labeled to indicate each governing function and the
locked/unlocked position of each control knob. Whenever a resident should be
restricted from operating the resident or handset controls, activate the
appropriate control lockout to prevent operation of a function.
