Operating Bed Features
REMOVING THE HEAD BOARD
To remove the head board, lift it straight up and off the bed. To replace the head board, align the plastic inserts
on the bottom of the head board with the pins on the bed and lower the head board until it completely engages
the pins.
USING THE LABOR GRIPS
To position the labor grips, grasp the handle and pull the grip out and up above the mattress until the mecha-
nism locks into position. To lower the grips, pull the lever to release the grip and, as it begins to rotate, release
the lever and lower the grip to the stored position.
ADJUSTABLE SEAT DEPTH (OPTIONAL)
To accommodate patients of different sizes, the depth of the seat can be adjusted up to 4 inches (from 12.5
to 8.5 inches).
S
The Fowler (back rest) must be raised to a minimum of 35
_
before the seat depth can be changed. Once
the Fowler (back rest) is elevated to 35
_
, the “ENABLED” LED on the outside of the siderail will light and
the seat depth can be changed. When the Fowler (back rest) is lowered (either electrically or using the
emergency CPR release), the bed will automatically adjust the seat depth to 12.5”.
S
To reduce seat depth, depress the
button on the siderail or the hand pendant to move the Fowler
(back rest) toward the foot end of the bed. Release the button when the desired seat depth is attained.
S
To increase seat depth, press the
button to move the Fowler (back rest) toward the head end
of the bed.
NURSE CALL BATTERY
To prevent a low battery condition when the bed is not plugged in, position the cord out switch at the head
end of the bed to the off position. The switch is identified by the label shown below. If the switch is not posi-
tioned as shown below and the bed power cord and pendant cord are unplugged, the life of the back−up bat-
tery will be significantly reduced.
If the siderail lights LED (located on the outside of both siderails) is flashing, the Nurse Call battery needs
to be replaced. The battery is located on the patient’s right side at the head end of the bed. No tools are
required to replace the battery. Unplug the bed power cord from the wall socket and replace the battery. After
replacing the battery, verify the siderail lights LED is no longer flashing and operates normally when the differ-
ent light settings are selected.
