CAUTION:
Before transporting the bed, ensure that the power cord is stored on the power cord wrap holder provided
on the headboard. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage.
WARNING:
Improper use or handling of the power cord may result in damage to the power cord. If damage has
occurred to the power cord or any of its components, immediately remove the bed from service, and
contact the appropriate maintenance personnel. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
Use only Hill-Rom power cords as a replacement. Other power cords have not been investigated for
compliance with electrical safety standards for this product.
WARNING:
If the integrity of the external protective earth conductor is in doubt, operate the bed from its internal
electrical power source. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
Policies and procedures must be established to train and educate your staff on the risks associated with electric
equipment. It is never prudent or necessary for personnel to place any part of their body under or between moving
parts of the bed. Whenever a bed is being cleaned or serviced, it should be unplugged from its power source, and
the lockout switch should be activated to keep the bed from accidentally operating due to the battery backup. If
service personnel need to get under the bed, the hilow portion must be blocked up as an added precaution. Refer
to the Affinity® Three Birthing Bed and Affinity® Four Birthing Bed Service Manual (MAN272).
