button which cuts the power off when set in the “ON “ position. To stop all the functions: simply
press on the red button until it is lowered. To put the functions back on: turn the button clockwise
until it is raised again.
The emergency lowering function allows the Shado
®
E to be swiftly lowered in case the patient
needs to be transferred out of the trolley or if control box is failing. With a ball-point pen press
strongly on the button marked "Emergency" to make the tray go down.
Be sure that your hand remains out of the way of the moving mechanical parts
during the lowering of the tray.
This function requires that the battery has not been removed and NOT fully
discharged
Contact SCALEO Medical if one of these elements has a dysfunction or if some of the
parts are damaged.
