Battery Backup
The Affinity® Three Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Bed are designed with battery
backup as a standard feature. The battery allows the hilow, foot, and head motors to be
activated from the siderail controls without power being supplied to the bed. In addition, the
battery backup powers the nurse call function, but it does not power any other bed functions,
such as the optional air support system.
Location: The battery backup indicator is located on the siderail to indicate the battery
condition.
Battery Backup LED Indicators (while connected to AC power):
• ON = Battery is charging.
Battery Backup LED Indicators (while on battery power):
• ON = Battery status is operational.
• FLASHING = Battery needs charging.
• OFF = Battery is discharged below the level required to run the motors.
