The AUX Button

The CANCEL Button

4-4
Pressing this button places an auxiliary call to the base master station. (Dual patient sta-
tions will send two calls, a left bed and a right bed, when this button is pressed.) The
meaning of such a call is programmable at the master station. So, check with your system
administrator to determine the use of this button. In any case, pressing the button causes
the following to happen:
The light on the AUX button illuminates to confirm call placement.
•
The patient station beeps eight times.
•
The associated corridor light illuminates and flashes at a designated rate (default is fast
•
flash white).
The call appears at the base master, which displays the call type as "AE2" by default.
•
Tones sound at the base master and at stations where the system monitor function is
•
active.

Canceling a Call Placed with the AUX Button

Calls placed by pressing the AUX button can only be canceled by pressing the CANCEL
button on the station that placed the call. When this type of call is canceled, the following
things occur:
The light on the station's AUX button extinguishes.
•
The associated corridor light extinguishes.
•
The call disappears from the base master.
•
The tones cease at the base master and at stations where the system monitor function is
•
active.
Pressing this button cancels almost any call that was placed from this station. However,
it will not stop the BED light from flashing and it cannot cancel most auxiliary calls.
To cancel a cord out call, press the CANCEL button either before or after reconnecting
the bed or inserting the dummy plug.
To clear an IR staff location presence that is no longer in the room but which has failed to
clear in the ProCare 6000 System, press and hold the CANCEL button for two seconds (un-
til a tone is heard) and release.
To cancel remote auxiliary calls, you must resolve the problem that caused the call, reset
the auxiliary equipment that placed the call, or unplug the auxiliary equipment and insert
a dummy plug in its place. The only auxiliary calls that can (and in fact must) be canceled
with the CANCEL button are those that were triggered by pressing the AUX button on
the patient station.
