self, a physician or a healthcare professional should be consulted for alternative means of safe restraint.
ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
A safety feature of this product includes protection against overheating caused by excessive or extended
periods of operation. Depending on the duration, this includes multiple or repeated adjustments or the use
of multiple functions at one time. To ensure trouble free operation, always allow a slight pause between
multiple adjustments and avoid pressing more than one function button at a time. If thermal protection
activation should occur, the bed will not respond to pendant commands. Given this situation, release the
pendant button and allow the bed unit to sit for several minutes. This will allow the protection function time
to reset and restore bed function. Depending on severity of the initial overheating, this could take up to 30
minutes.
Allow a slight pause between adjustments and avoid pressing multiple buttons at the same time. If
pendant buttons are depressed too rapidly or multiple buttons are pressed at the same time, the desired
feature may not activate. Simply release the pendant button, permit a slight pause and then activate the
next operation.
ALWAYS remove manual crank(s) before performing electronic functions. Otherwise, the crank(s) will turn
when the motor is on and could cause personal injury or damage to the bed.
Always unplug the bed from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
DO NOT open assemblies such as the motors, pendant, junction boxes or gear boxes. No user service-
able parts are inside. Only qualied technicians are permitted to repair these parts. If unqualied individu-
als perform any work on these beds, the warranty is void.
