Introduction
This manual is for K model and newer beds only.
This manual supplies information necessary for normal operation of the VersaCare® Bed
from Hill-Rom. Before you operate the VersaCare® Bed, make sure you read and
understand in detail the contents of this manual. It is important that you read and strictly
obey the aspects of safety contained in this manual. Any reference to a side of the bed is
from the patient’s view lying in the bed on his or her back.
Some configurations of the VersaCare® Bed may be equipped with an integral scale
intended to weigh the patient in the bed.
In this manual, there are references to different bed models. To identify which model of
bed you have, look at the serial number label. The label is on the right side of the weigh
frame, under the patient’s shoulder. For example, P3200AXXXX identifies an A model
bed.
NOTE:
Throughout this manual, we identify mains power as AC power.
