Caregiver Siderail Controls
The Caregiver Siderail controls are located on the outside of each head-end siderail.
There are two sets of Caregiver Siderail controls. The first set is mounted on the outside of
both siderails and control the bed position functions. The second set, for the optional bed
functions, is mounted on a flip-up control pod in the head-end siderails. The second set of
controls is for the scale, treatment/therapy surface, and the Bed Exit Alarm System.
Instruct visitors not to attempt operation of caregiver controls. They may assist the patient
with patient controls.
Enable
The Enable control is located on the optional flip-up control pod. The Enable
control deters unauthorized operation of certain caregiver controls. With the
exception of the Weigh control, the Enable control must be activated before
the caregiver controls on the pod will operate. When activated, the Enable
indicator stays on for 60 seconds. During this time, the caregiver can use any caregiver
controls on the pod.
