Adjusting the mattress platform
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.
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.
CAUTION
Do not place anything on the electrical box (1) as it may be damaged or obstruct the
movement of the mattress platform.
NOTE
If a warning tone (beep) sounds when pressing a button, this indicates that the bed is
operating on the backup battery - refer to the section "Backup battery" on page 37.
NOTE
If a button is held down for more than 90 seconds, the function will be automatically inhibited
until the button is released. The function must then be unlocked as described in the section
"Function lockout" on page 35.
