NOTE:
The indicator flashes until the system is armed.
If the system does not arm , the system will beep rapidly for a few seconds and the Out-of-Bed mode
indicator will flash. This means the patient weighs less than 113 kg (250 lb) or more than 454 kg (1000
lb), the patient is not in the correct position, or the system has malfunctioned.
NOTES:
• It is important to remember that the patient needs to be in the center of the bed; otherwise,
when the bed re-arms itself, the system may sound an alert.
• If the Bed Exit mode was not deactivated before the bed was put into Transport Mode, upon
restoring power after the transport, the previously-set Bed Exit mode will re-arm.

When a Bed Exit mode is armed, you can silence the alert system. During this Silence Mode, the system
stops monitoring the patient movement; therefore,
the system does not turn on the audible alert or
send a nurse call alert. While the system is in the Silence Mode, you can change the position of the
patient or assist the patient out of the bed. Alert Silence can be used during Turn Assist.
• To silence the alert system before it sounds —press the Enable key until its
indicator is on solid, and then press the Alert Silence control until its indicator is on
solid.
• To silence the alert system after it sounds —press the Alert Silence control until
its indicator is on solid.
Once the alert silence is activated, you have 30 seconds to either have the patient exit
the bed or return to the correct position for Bed Exit to arm.
• If the patient does not exit the bed, the patient must be returned to the correct
position for the Bed Exit mode to re-arm.
• If the patient exits the bed, the alert will not sound. The Bed Exit mode will not re-arm until the
patient returns to the bed.
• After the patient has returned to the bed, the patient must be returned to the correct position for
the Bed Exit mode to re-arm. If the patient is not in the correct position, the system will sound an
alert.
1. Make sure the patient is centered on the bed.
2. Make sure the bed is not in the Transport Mode .
3. Press the Enable key until its indicator comes on.
4. Press the Out-of-Bed control. When the system beeps one time and the indicator
stays on solid, the system is armed.
