Operating the OmniBed
Raising the Canopy
To allow immediate access to the baby when the OmniBed is
being used as an incubator, one touch of the foot pedal, or the
canopy up switch at the head of the bed, raises the canopy to its
upper travel limit in one uninterrupted movement. Touching the
pedal or switch a second time while the canopy is raising will stop
upward movement.
To lower the canopy, press and hold the canopy down switch at
the head of the bed. If you remove your finger from the switch,
downward movement stops.
Note: The canopy foot pedal can only be used to raise the
canopy; the switch at the head of the bed must be used to lower
the canopy.
Raising and lowering the bed
WARNING

Before raising or lowering the bed,
check that there is adequate slack in
tubing and leads and that no obstruc-
tions limit the range of motion.
The bed can be raised or lowered using the bed height pedals
located on the legs on either side of the OmniBed. The bed height
can be adjusted low enough for use by a seated caregiver, or can
be raised high enough for procedures preformed by standing
caregivers.
Tilting the bed
The bed tilts twelve degrees to allow feet up or head up position-
ing of the baby. The tilt release is located inside the bed area at
the head of the bed. Pinch it closed to release it with one hand
while placing the other hand on the foot of the bed to control tilt
speed (A). The bed rocks at its center like a seesaw, so pushing
down on one end raises the other. Letting go of the release at any
point on the tilt path locks the bed in that position.
