To attach a device to the SafeConnect socket:
1. Align the SafeConnect plug on the device cable with the SafeConnect socket.
2. Insert the plug into the socket until the socket’s magnet secures the plug.
To release a device from the SafeConnect socket:
For handsets and pillow speakers, pull the plug from the sockets, and then press the button
showing a blinking LED, generally the Cancel or Presence button.
Note: If you unintentionally disconnect the cable, plug it back into the SafeConnect socket to
clear the cord fault event. The socket’s LED will stop flashing.
Set the Patient Station to Clear Call Events
When you plug a cable from a third-party device into a SafeConnect socket, you can then
choose how you want the Telligence system to clear event calls from that device. Choose
either Manual mode or Automatic mode.
Manual Mode
A manual clear requires a staff member to press the Cancel or Presence button on the Patient
Station when a call event is active. For example, pressing the button on a call cord activates an
event on the Patient Station. Pressing the Patient Station’s Cancel or Presence button clears
the event.
To set the Manual mode:
1. Insert the third-party device’s plug into a 3.5mm or ¼ inch adapter, and then connect the
adapter’s plug into the Patient Station's SafeConnect socket.
2. Check the LED above the SafeConnect socket. The LED will blink white for 3 seconds, and
then turn green. A green LED indicates that the Telligence system recognizes the external
device. If the LED does not turn green, then the Telligence system does not recognize the
device. Contact your system administrator for assistance.
Automatic Mode
An automatic clear occurs when the event call no longer needs action. For example, you may
want to use a bed pressure pad to alert you when a patient exits a bed. When the patient lays
on the bed and exerts pressure on the pad, the system is normal. However when a patient exits
the bed, the pressure is removed and the system triggers an event.
To set the Automatic mode:
1. Insert the external device’s plug into a 3.5mm or 1/4 inch adapter, and then connect the
adapter’s plug to the Patient Station's SafeConnect socket. The SafeConnect LED blinks
white for 3 seconds.
2. While the LED is blinking, press the Cancel or Presence button. The LED turns white. Event
calls will automatically clear when the external device returns to it normal state.
