Affinity® 4 Birthing Bed Instructions for Use (USR025 REV 13) 11
NOTES:
• If the foot section is at its lowest position when the bed is lowered, the bed will stop at a higher
position to ensure that the foot section does not interfere with the base.
• If the bed is in the low position and the Trend-Like function is activated, the bed will rise to the
appropriate height to allow the bed to move to the full Trend-Like position.
Lockout Controls
The Lockout controls deactivate the hilow, head, and foot functions on the bed.
When a lockout is activated, both the patient and caregiver controls for motor
functions are locked out.
To lock—press the Lockout control switch to deactivate the motors. The lockout
LED indicator on the siderail will light.
Activating the lockout function does not affect the operation of the emergency CPR
Release.
