Nurse call allows the patient to send a signal to the nurse station.

To activate nurse call, press the N N u u r r s s e e c c a a l l l l button (E) (see Operator control panel (outside siderail) (page 27)).

Communication between the patient and the nurse station is established at the moment when the nursing staff responds to

the nurse call signal.

N N o o t t e e - - A 9V battery powers the nurse call signal when the product is unplugged. If the product is unplugged from a wall

outlet while the nurse call pendant port switch is set to the on position, (Figure 17), the 9V battery will begin to drain.

If the 9V nurse call battery needs to be replaced, a message will appear on the footboard display. See Replacing the nurse

call backup battery (option) (page 25).

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. If the switch is not positioned as shown (A) (Figure 18) and the bed power cord and pendant cord are

unplugged, the life of the backup battery will be reduced.
