42 VersaCare® Bed User Manual (161956 REV 2)
The SafeView® Alerts show a steady green when Bed Exit is active and all of the
conditions below are met. If one or more of these conditions are not met, the Alerts flash
yellow:
• The bed is in the low position.
• The siderails are up: at least the two head-end siderails and possibly one or both
intermediate siderails. The factory configuration is that both head-end siderails must
be up. The system may be configured so that one or both of the intermediate siderails
must also be up. To change the configuration to include one or both intermediate
siderails, see “Configure the Siderails for the Safe Bed Condition” on page 43.
• The brake is set.
If the optional head angle alarm is installed and it is active, it is included in the safe
condition requirements. If the alarm is not active, it is not included in the safe condition
requirements.
Alerts are On Green—Bed Exit is active, and the conditions shown above are met.
Alerts Flash Yellow—
• Bed Exit is active, and one or more of the conditions shown above are not met.
• Bed Exit is not active, the optional head angle alarm is active, and the head section
goes below the specified angle.
• Bed Exit is in Silence mode.
Alerts Flash Yellow and Green—there is a technical problem with the Alerts. Call your
facility-authorized maintenance person.
If Bed Exit is active and there is a technical problem, a nurse call will be sent to the nurses
station to let you know there is a problem with the Alerts. If the bed has the optional head
angle alarm and all of the conditions below occur at the same time, the Alerts will flash
yellow and green, but a nurse call will not be sent to the nurses station:
• Bed Exit is not active.
• The head section goes below the specified head angle.
• A technical problem occurs with the Alerts.
Alerts Are Off—the Alerts are off when Bed Exit is not active, the Alerts have been
deactivated, the bed operates on battery power, or the bed is disconnected from AC power.
Deactivate the SafeView® Alerts
If you want to activate Bed Exit, but do not want the Alerts on, do as follows:
1. Make sure Bed Exit is not active.
2. Press and release the Enable control.
3. Press and hold the applicable Bed Exit Mode control.
4. Continue to press the Bed Exit Mode control, and press the Volume control for
