(Zone 1) light will illuminate when armed. The system will
automatically select the largest zone as default.
To change the zone, push the Zone key
until the light indicating the desired zone comes on.
To Dis ar m
To deactivate Bed Exit, push and hold the Arm/Disarm key.
The selected zone light will turn off.
Note: If the bed was not zeroed at patient admission,
prior to arming, the Chaperone Bed Exit System will not
operate properly.
