Staff/duty station lights 
Two white “front light“ lights, one for each button or vertical pair of 
buttons, are present on Smart Staff/Duty Stations to illuminate the 
buttons in dim light conditions. 
Additional lights indicate specific states: 
•  Each staff/duty station button has an associated light. 
•  Call lights show the status of nurse call requests from a station. 
•  One bi-color Status light on the staff/duty station signals audio 
connection, staff follow, presence, privacy, or error. 
The following section describes how the system responds when a 
call is placed by pushing a staff/duty station command button. 
Individual button lights 
•  A steady red button light indicates that the button was pressed 
and that the following actions, specific to each button, have 
taken place: 
•  For the Code, Emerg, and Assist button lights, a nurse call was 
placed. 
•  For the Privacy button, privacy mode was put into effect. 
•  The Cancel light flashes when Cancel is pressed to remove a 
“stuck“ presence. 
•  All lights in slow flash indicates that the station is in cleaning 
mode. 
•  All lights in fast flash indicates a no communications error. 
Call status light 
•  A steady red Call status light indicates that a staff member has 
placed a nurse call by pressing the Code, Emerg, or Assist 
button on the staff/duty station, or on any station associated 
with the staff/duty station. 
•  A flashing red Call status light indicates an alarm condition. 
Status light 
•  A steady red Status light indicates that a staff member has 
registered presence. 
•  A flashing red Status light indicates a staff follow call. The flash 
rate is based on the priority of the call. 
•  A fast flashing red Status light indicates an alarm condition; the 
flash rate indicates the error type. (See "Resolving staff station 
problems" on page 115. 
•  A steady green Status light indicates an ongoing audio 
connection.
