4. ELECTRONIC FUNCTIONS DESCRIBED
NOTE:
Adjustment occurs only while a button is pressed. Adjustment will stop when the button is
released, or the movement selection reaches the end of its range of adjustment.
4.1 Backrest Adjustment
WARNING
Care should be taken whilst operating the backrest function to ensure hands and
fingers are away from potential squeeze hazards.
NOTE:
This control function is available to both control devices fitted to the bed.
To move the backrest up or down, press and hold the appropriate button or buttons on
the control device. The backrest can be adjusted through a range of between 0° and 70°
The backrest adjustment actuator includes an inbuilt disengaging spline drive that only
uses force in the push direction. This is a safety device designed to stop the backrest
from retracting under actuator force in the event of being obstructed in lowering.
4.2 Mattress Platform Height Adjustment
WARNING
It is recommended that the bed be positioned at its lowest height when unattended
by caregivers to minimise the risk of patient injury from falls when getting in and out
of the bed.
NOTE:
This control function is available to both control devices fitted to the bed.
To move the mattress platform up or down, press and hold the appropriate button on the
control device. The beds platform height can be adjusted through a range of 175mm low
height to a high height of 690mm.
The mattress frame height adjustment uses two actuators working in conjunction and
separate to each other creating the vertical lift and enabling the bed to tilt in opposite
directions.
4.3 Knee Positioning Adjustment
NOTE:
This control function is available on both control devices fitted to the bed.
To move the knee positioning section up and down, press and hold the appropriate
button on the control device. The thigh section is adjustable through a range of 0° to 35°,
providing adjustable support to the
