insert two new Duracell® Coppertop alkaline D cell batteries (see Figure 4). After the Bed Beacon batteries
are installed, the Bed Beacon will perform a POST (Power On Self-Test).

(pressed). If only two green flashes, - range switch is stuck closed (pressed).
(b) Pause
(c)**** - Alternate between green and red LED 2 times (LED test)

(Note: If the POST LED flashes red three times, then the Bed Beacon is defective.)

Bed/Stretcher Mode.
