The Brake Not Set alert is a visual and audible alert. When the bed is plugged into AC
power, and you release the brake, the alert indicator on the caregiver control panel will
come on, an audible alert will sound, and a message will show on the touchscreen. To
turn the alert off, either unplug the bed (for transport) or set the brakes. The indicator
will stay lit when the bed is unplugged and the brake is not set.
The Service Required indicator shows and flashes on the touchscreen when the bed
detects a malfunction. Contact your facility-authorized maintenance persons or local
Hill-Rom representative for assistance.
The Bed in Lowest Position indicator comes on when the bed is in the lowest position.
The bed has an automatic battery backup feature. When AC power is not being supplied to the bed
and there is sufficient battery power, the battery permits the bed articulation functions to be
engaged from any of the caregiver bed position controls except the Lockout control. The battery also
powers the nurse call function if the communication cable is plugged into a Nurse Call System.
While on battery power, the bed will operate as follows:
• All caregiver bed articulation controls will operate.
• The Bed Exit and Scale functions will not operate.
• If Bed Exit is on, it will turn off when the bed is powered by
battery backup. When AC power is restored to the bed, Bed
Exit will resume in the Bed Exit mode that it was previously
set to.
