BED OPERATION

Bed functions are operated with a six-button (3-function) hand pendant. Button functions on
the hand pendant are identified with universal icons. The hand pendant comes with a slotted
clip for suspending the control on assist rails or headboards.
CAUTION: Prior to raising or lowering the bed and/or assist rails, ensure that the cord for
the hand pendant has not become entangled in bed parts. The cord should be kept clear or
moving parts at all times.
The bed has a rolling base that allows it to be rolled or locked at any height. To lock the bed,
activate the folding central lock located on the foot end of bed frame by depressing the foot
pedal. Secure the individual locking casters. To roll the bed, disengage the central lock by
pressing the pedal and release the individual caster locks. Activating the folding central lock
does not disengage the bed's functions.
