Adjusting the mattress platform
Controls for use by the patient and caregiver are built into the
head end split side rails. These operate the bed’s basic
functions. For patients who find it difficult to use the split side
rail controls, a separate handset is available as an optional
extra.
An Attendant Control Panel (ACP) for use only by the caregiver
is built into the foot end split side rails. This provides full control
of all the bed’s functions.
The functions of the patient and caregiver controls, and the
ACP, are described over the next few pages.
To adjust the mattress platform:
press and hold the
appropriate button until the required position is achieved.
Movement will continue until the button is released or the limit
of travel is reached.

WARNING
The controls require only a single press to activate. To prevent
unwanted movement of the mattress platform, avoid leaning against
the split side rails and keep equipment on and around the bed clear of
the controls.
To avoid potential damage or injury, do not leave oxygen bottle or any
other obstacles under the bed frame while operated.
Caution
Do not place anything on the electrical box (1) as it may be damaged
or obstruct the movement of the mattress platform.
