OPERATING SIDERAILS

To engage the head end siderail, grasp the rail and swing it upward to full height. When the siderail is being
raised, it does not lock in the intermediate position. To lower the siderail, push in the release handle and rotate
the siderail until it locks in the intermediate position. To lower the siderail fully, push in the release handle again
and rotate the siderail until it is completely lowered.
WARNING
When raising the siderails, listen for the "click" that indicates the siderail has locked in the up position. Pull
firmly on the siderail to ensure it is locked into position. Siderails are not intended to be a patient restraint
device. It is the responsibility of attending medical personnel to determine the degree of restraint and the
siderail positioning necessary to ensure a patient will remain safely in bed. The intermediate position should
be used only to assist the patient during ingress and egress from the bed.
NOTE
To activate the siderail bypass mechanism, the rail must be fully lowered. If the rail is not completely lowered,
the siderail will lock in the intermediate position when it is raised.

USING THE SIDERAIL CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS

The bed is equipped with lights to illuminate the head end siderail control panels and the red
nurse call switches. Five settings are available for the control panel lights. Press the back-
light button once to turn on the lights at low intensity, again to change to medium intensity,
a third time to change to high intensity, a fourth to leave just the nurse call light on, and a fifth
time to turn all siderail lights off.

LOCKING OUT THE SIDERAIL CONTROLS

The lock out feature disables the siderail bed motion controls. Lock out buttons are located
on the outside of both siderails. Lock out the bed motion controls by depressing the button
once. The bed motion lockout LED will light. Reactivate the controls by pressing the button
again.
