Unpacking and Initial Set−Up Procedures
1−7
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to unpacking instructions attached to the bed inside the crate.
SET−UP PROCEDURES
It is important that the LD304 Birthing Bed is working properly before it is put into service. The following list
will help ensure each part of the bed is tested.
" Plug the bed power cord into a properly grounded, hospital grade wall receptacle. During transport, the
bed power cord should be wrapped around the roller bumpers at the head end of the bed.
CAUTION
The LD304 Birthing Bed is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against electric shock hazard.
It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three−prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be
achieved only when a hospital grade receptacle is used.
" Ensure the siderails raise and lower smoothly and lock in the up position.
" Ensure the brakes hold when the brake pedal is engaged.
" Test each function on the (optional) hand pendant and verify each function is working properly.
Beds equipped with nurse communication siderail control option only:
" Plug the interface cable into the 37 pin connector in the litter frame at the head end of the bed, and into
the ”Patient Station”, ”Head Wall”, ”Docker Station”, or equivalent (whichever applies).
" Run through each function on the siderail control panels and verify each function is working properly.
NOTE
To prevent a low battery condition when the bed is not plugged in, position the cord out switch at the head
end of the bed to the off position. The switch is identified by the label shown below. If the switch is not posi-
tioned as shown below and the bed power cord and pendant cord are unplugged, the life of the back−up bat-
tery will be significantly reduced.
If the POWER LED (located on the outside of both siderails) is flashing, the 9V Nurse Call battery needs to
be replaced. The battery is located at the head end of the bed. No tools are required to replace the battery.
Unplug the bed power cord from the wall socket and replace the battery. After replacing the battery, verify
the POWER LED is no longer flashing and operates normally when the different light settings are selected.
Properly dispose of the old battery in accordance with local regulations.
