Canceling an Auxiliary Call

Auxiliary calls can only be canceled from the equipment responsible for the call. In the
case of the AUX button on patient stations, the station itself is responsible for the call.
So, you can press the CANCEL button to cancel. For all other auxiliary calls, you must
resolve the problem that caused the call, reset the auxiliary monitor equipment that sig-
naled the difficulty, or unplug the equipment and insert a dummy plug in its place. The
following things occur when this type of call is canceled:
The AUX light extinguishes.
•
The call disappears from the base master display.
•
The associated corridor light extinguishes.
•
The tones cease at the base master and at stations where the system monitor function is
•
active.
The CALL light will illuminate steadily when a patient call has been sent to the base
master. On a dual station, it also indicates which bed placed the call (left CALL light =
left bed, right CALL light = right bed). The patient can send a call either by pressing the
nurse call button on the pillow speaker or by using a call cord assembly.
The appropriate CALL light will also flash when the BED light flashes, to indicate which
bed has been disconnected and to confirm that a cord out call has been sent to the master
station. (If the bed is connected to a dual-receptacle wall plate, a cord out call will occur
if either receptacle is unplugged.)
When a patient call is placed, the following things happen:
The patient station beeps two times.
•
The associated corridor light illuminates and flashes at a designated rate (default is
•
steady white for normal call, slow flash white for priority, and fast flash white for
emergency).
• The call appears on the base master display.
Tones sound at the base master and at stations where the system monitor function is
•
active.
If the call is placed on reminder, the CALL light will flash to indicate the reminder. On
•
a dual station, it also indicates which bed is on reminder (left CALL light = left bed,
right CALL light = right bed).
