1. Installation
1.1 Step 1: Bed Mode Configuration
Install 2 Duracell Coppertop alkaline D cell batteries into the Bed Beacon. The Bed Beacon needs to be
configured to bed mode before installing the Bed Beacon onto the bed. To verify the Beacon’s mode, hold
both range buttons down. Immediately, the Beacon will alternate four (4) times between green and red
flashes. With each flash there will be an audio alert. Two (2) seconds later, the Bed Beacon LED should
flash green and beep once. The green flash and beep confirms that the Beacon is set for bed mode. If there
is one (1) red LED flash and one (1) beep, the Bed Beacon was already in bed mode and is now in stretcher
mode. Repeat the process to get the Bed Beacon back into bed mode.
1.2 Step 2: Installing the Bed Beacon (92053072)
The patient bed must be raised to a height of 32 inches from the floor to gain access to all the mounting
locations.
Bed Beacon mounting
Mount the Bed Beacon directly
underneath the bed’s headboard with
double-sided tape as shown in
Figure 1. Make sure the Bed Beacon
and the mounting surface are clean and free of dirt and oil. A soft
cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol works well to clean both
surfaces.
