section for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
14
60126224-C
To bring a mattress support section into a flattened position, l use the
corresponding function on the hand control OR l in case of power failure or
urgent need for action, use the manual emergency release and lower the
mattress support section.
Refer to 4.7.1 Emergency release of a mattress support section, page 15.
4.7.1 Emergency release of a mattress support section
In case of a power- or motor failure, an emergency release of the back, thigh
or leg section could be necessary . An emergency release of the height
adjustment is NOT possible.
CAUTION! Risk of injury — A minimum of two persons is required for an
emergency release of a mattress support section. — When releasing a mattress
support section, it
might lower fast. Do not reach under the mattress support while lowering it.
NOTICE! — Before an emergency release of the mattress
support, remove the plug from the mains socket.
1. Both persons hold the mattress section. 2. One of them locates the motor
in question and pulls out
the safety pin.
3. Both persons slowly lower the mattress section until it is completely
down.
4.8 Transportation and Storage
The bed can be transported or stored in assembled or disassembled state. See
the service manual for detailed instructions on how to disassemble the bed. To
transport or store the bed in its assembled state: 1. Disconnect the power
cable from the mains socket. 2. Use the hook near the mains plug to attach the
power
cable to the bed (e.g. on bed ends or frame) so it is kept clear of the floor
and damage during transport or storage is prevented.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio
(cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and
FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the
measured field strength in the location in which this product is used exceeds
the applicable RF compliance level above, this product should be observed to
verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating this product.
