Electrical Warnings - Drive Medical 15300 Guide D'assemblage

Always test to make sure that the side rails are prop-
erly and securely in place before using the bed.
DO NOT install the optional bed rails without reading
and understanding all of the instructions in the instruc-
tion sheet that accompanies the bed rail kit.
DO NOT use the side rails as push handles for moving
the bed.
These bed rails are intended to prevent an individual
from inadvertently rolling out of bed. DO NOT use for
restraint purposes.
When used with a manual/electrical bed, the bed rails
DO NOT fall under any weight limitations. Bed rails
can be deformed or broken if excessive side pressure
is exerted on the bed rails. These bed rails are used for
the purpose of preventing an individual from inad-
vertently rolling out of bed. The bed rails are NOT
intended nor may be used for restraint purposes. If
an individual is capable of injuring himself/herself, a
physician or a healthcare professional should be con-
sulted 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 sever-
ity 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 be-
fore cleaning.
DO NOT open assemblies such as the motors, pen-
dant, junction boxes or gear boxes. No user service-
able parts are inside. Only qualified technicians are
permitted to repair these parts. If unqualified individu-
als perform any work on these beds, the warranty is
void.
DO NOT place pendant under or between objects.
This may unintentionally press the buttons and may
cause injury or damage.
Electronic equipment may be influenced by Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI). Caution should be
exercised with regard to the use of portable communi-
cations equipment in the area around such equipment.
If RFI causes erratic behavior, unplug the electric bed
IMMEDIATELY. Leave unplugged while transmission
is in progress.
Ensure all cables and cords are routed such that they
will not become entangled or pinched. Otherwise dam-
age or injury may result.
If a button on the pendant does not release or sticks,
the bed spring will not stop moving.
If a liquid is spilled in or around the electric bed,
unplug the electric bed before cleaning. Clean up the
spill and allow the electric bed or the area around the
electric bed to dry thoroughly before using the electric
controls again.
Inspect the covering of the bed's control panel and the
patient control panel to assure that the covering is not
cracked or damaged.
Keep all electrical cords away from heated or hot
surfaces.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
NEVER operate if the unit has a damaged cord or
plug. If it is not working properly, call a qualified tech-
nician for examination and repair.
