If any damage is identified while conducting checks 1.1 and 1.2, immediately
Quarantine the bed and report the damage to maintenance staff or replace the Handset.
2. Visual inspection of the cable and Cable insulation:
2.1 Inspect the cable for any nicks or cuts in the insulation
2.2 Inspect for any evidence that the cable may have been squashed or flattened.
Squashed or flattened cables may indicate a possible break in the internal conductors or
insulation causing conductors to short together which could cause unwanted movement of the
bed. Any handsets are found with obvious damage to the cable insulation, immediately report
the damage to maintenance staff or replace the Handset.
3. Tactile inspection of the buttons:
All buttons should be operated and response tested.
Depress each button on the handset. Each button should have a positive audible click that is
also felt. The function being pressed should also operate.
If the button:
Does not have a click feel
Does not have an audible click sound
Does not immediately operate the function
Feels soft offering no resistance
Feels different to the rest of the buttons
Travels further when depressed
Immediately quarantine the bed and report the damage to maintenance staff or replace the
Handset, otherwise contact an ArjoHuntleigh approved Technician.
