VersaCare® Bed User Manual (161956 REV 2) 43
The Alerts will stay off until you activate Bed Exit again or you disconnect the bed from
AC power and then connect the bed to AC power.
If the Alerts are deactivated on a bed with the optional head angle alarm that is active, the
Alerts will not flash yellow if the head section goes below the specified angle.
Configure the Siderails for the Safe Bed Condition
There are three siderail configurations for the Alerts:
• The head siderails up.
• The head siderails and one intermediate siderail up.
The system does not know if the right or left intermediate siderail is up.
• All siderails up.
1. To configure the system, put the siderails in one of the configurations shown above.
2. Press these controls at the same time for five seconds: Knee Up, Knee Down, Bed
Up, and Bed Down. The lights will flash green for three seconds to let you know the
configuration is set.
3. To change the configuration so that only the two head-end siderails must be up, do
step 2 with only the two head-end siderails up.
4. Make sure the Alerts operate as configured:
a. Put the siderails in the applicable configuration.
b. Make sure the Alerts are on green.
c. One at a time, lower and then raise each configured siderail. Make sure the
Alerts flash yellow when one of the configured siderails is lowered, and the
Alerts are on green when all configured siderails are up.
If more than the configured siderails are up, the system will not alert. It only alerts when
the configured siderails are down.
