Using a call cord or bed button to upgrade a call

Upgrading a call placed using a call cord or an electronic bed's
nurse call button requires presence to already be registered in the
patient room (See "Registering staff presence" on page 99.) To
upgrade a call that a patient placed using a call cord or an
electronic bed's nurse call button to more urgent status:
1. Press the nurse call button on the call cord or bed side-rail
control panel (or squeeze the call cord's actuator) twice in rapid
succession. When you do, this happens:

•
emergency call and the original call (the latter call clears
when the staff emergency call is canceled).
Staff emergency tones sound at staff consoles and
•
annunciators, and at stations here staff follow is active.

this happens:

•
console attendant is over the speakerphone on the patient
station.

settings on the staff console or annunciator.
