The cable will need to run from the top of the mattress to the
underside of the bed and up the headboard, footboard, or rail of the
bed (Figure 4). Make sure the cable lies freely and does not
interfere with handrails or moving parts of the bed.
4. Mount the control unit on the bed headboard, footboard, or rail in a
convenient location using the mounting strap or mounting bracket.
Optional wide mounting brackets are available for extra wide
headboards and footboards.
5. Insert the sensor pad cable into the sensor pad receptacle on the
control unit.
6. If you are using the Informer-Mate
™
Deluxe system, set the desired
alarm tone by sliding the volume switch to position 1, 2, 3 or 4. If
connecting a nurse call cable to the deluxe unit, the alarm will,
when sounding, automatically be sent to the nurse call unit and the
local alarm will be disabled.
7. Test the Informer-Mate
™
monitoring system before each use and
inspect the pads and monitor regularly to make sure they are not
damaged. Test the system by pressing firmly on the pad for 3
seconds. When you remove pressure, the alarm should sound. Reset
the alarm using the 2-button reset.
