WARNING Close supervision by an adult who has read and understands this User
Manual is required when the bed is used around children or others who have not or
cannot read and/or understand this User Manual.
WARNING The bed mattress must be purchased from Med-Mizer Inc. to meet
entrapment zone dimensional guidelines published by the Food and Drug Administration.
WARNING Do not spill or spray liquid on the bed. Excessive liquid on the bed can
result in an electric shock hazard. In the event of a liquid spill or excessive liquid on the
bed, unplug the bed immediately. Remove excess liquid and allow bed to dry thoroughly
before restoring power.

so could result in personal injury.
WARNING Never operate the bed if a cord or plug is damaged, or it is not working
properly. Contact Qualified Service Personnel for inspection and/or repair. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury.
WARNING DO NOT sit or lie on hand control. It can cause unintended movement of the
application.
WARNING Ensure the main power cord is routed where it is not pinched either under or
beside the bed. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
CAUTION Ensure the grounding cable of the control box is securely fastened to the frame.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

CAUTION Keep the bed in low position when the occupant is unattended. High bed
positions increase the risk of injury from falling when getting in or out of bed, or while
reclined.
CAUTION To avoid a fire hazard; do not use the bed in an oxygen-enriched
environment or in the presence of explosive gases.
CAUTION To avoid an electric shock hazard; do not plug the power cord into a wall
outlet if the power cord is damaged, if the ground pin is missing, or if the wall outlet does
not provide for the power cord ground pin.

WARNING Always confirm the area under the bed and end-boards are free and clear of
children, inattentive adults, pets, and objects when raising and lowering or pivoting the
bed.

Failure to do so could cause serious injury or equipment damage.
WARNING Electric drive bed mechanisms can cause serious injury if operated
improperly. Operate the bed only when persons are clear of the mechanisms.
CAUTION When lowering the bed or knee in chair position, always ensure limbs or
extremities are not under any portion of the bed or mattress.
CAUTION Always confirm limbs or extremities are within the perimeter of the mattress
and not in a position where they can be trapped or pinched by the support arms and assist
bars when adjusting head and knee elevation.
CAUTION Keep moving parts of bed free of obstructions, including bedding, heating
pads, tubes, cords and wires. Items caught in moving parts may be crushed, cut or pulled
during bed adjustment.
Side Rail and Assist Bar Safety
WARNING Always confirm the side rail and assist bars are locked in the raised position.
Improperly locked support arms and assist bars can result in a fall hazard due to sudden
unexpected movement.

Control Box Reinitialization (If needed)
To reinitialize the bed, hold down the Head up and down control buttons for 10 seconds until the
beeping stops (first row of buttons on pendant.) This will reset the control box. Once this is
reset the bed will need to be initialized. To perform this, hold the auto contour up button (third
row of pendant) several seconds until the head and leg raise up slightly, then hold the auto
contour down button until the bed returns to the flat position. Once the bed is flat hold the caster
button (bottom right button) until the bed lowers completely. Once the bed is all the way down
raise the bed back up several inches using the Bed height up button. At this point the bed should
be reinitialized and should function properly once raised back up.
