Patient Station Operation
This section refers to the following types of patient stations: IR3xx-series and SF380-series. Refer to Fig-
ure 10 on page 18 and Figure 11 on page 19 for the locations, names and functions of the controls and
indicators of these devices. A brief description of the operating controls for patient stations follows.
Call-Placed Light: The call-placed light indicates when any call is placed from the patient station.
Reset Switch/In-Use Light: The reset button cancels a call placed from the station. The light illuminates
whenever communications from the master station is engaged.
Call Cord Receptacle: The round DIN receptacle found on IR319-series and IR320-series stations uses
SF401EX strain relief cables, SF4xx-series call cords, and SF4xx-series pillow speakers.
NOTE: There are a number of older call cord receptacle types. Please contact tech support
for more details.
NOTE: Only call cords and pillow speakers that are tested with and UL approved for use
with TekTone nurse call equipment may be directly connected to the DIN call cord recept-
acle on TekTone patient stations. Other methods are available for properly isolated con-
nections of hospital beds and other ancillary equipment.
Pull Cord: The IR318B provides an integral call-initiating pull cord. Patients simply pull on the cord to
trigger a call.
Speaker/Microphone: The speaker/microphone is used for voice communications and tone signaling.
Due to the high sensitivity of the speaker/microphone, the patient does not need to move close to the
device, or to speak above normal levels to be heard.
To Place a Call:
1. Press the call button on the end of the call cord, or press the red call button with the nurse or
cross symbol on the pillow speaker, or pull on the IR318 call cord. (See Figure 15 and Figure
16 on page 22.)
2. Call placement can be verified by the flashing of the Call-Placed Light. A “Cord-Out” call will
automatically be placed if a call cord or pillow speaker is removed. NOTE: SF380 stations must
be programmed for Personal Attn. Priority Level.
To Answer a Call:
Reply in a normal voice when spoken to. The audio communication will normally come from the patient
station. If IR3xx-series are used with PM311C or PM312C Pillow Speaker Module, audio com-
munications will be to and from the intercom-capable pillow speaker. Calls placed from SF380-series sta-
tions must be handled in person, because the SF380 do not incorporate audio communication.
To Cancel a Call:
1. Press the reset button until the call-placed LED is extinguished.
2. Canceling a call placed by the removal of a call cord can be accomplished by replacing the call
cord.
Television Controls:
For the IR3xx-series patient stations with pillow speakers, press the button labeled “TV” or with the tele-
vision symbol. If the television is off, the first press will turn it on. Each successive press will step
through the channels until the television turns back off. The volume may be adjusted by rotating the
volume control until the desired level is reached. This control only adjusts television audio levels.
NOTE: Connect only UL
