Check at regular times to make sure the patient remains
correctly positioned. The use of pillows can help maintain
side-to-side positioning. Injury to the patient may result
from improper positioning.

Vascular Position
The Vascular Position allows the caregiver
to place the patient’s legs above the level of
the patient’s sternum without placing the bed
in the Trendelenburg position.
To Activate—press the Foot Up control.
To Return to Flat Position—press the Foot
Down control.
Battery Control
The battery function is available only when the bed is not connected to AC power.
To Activate—press the Battery control. The battery indicator comes on. All bed
controls are available. Battery operation is automatically stopped 30 seconds after the
end of the last movement.
When the battery charge level is low and an electrical function is activated, an alarm will sound that
indicates the battery needs to be charged. The ongoing bed movement will be completed.
Plug the bed into an applicable power source to automatically charge the battery.
NOTE:
If the Lockouts were not activated when AC power was removed, and the lockout LEDs are on when the
bed is connected to AC power, there is a battery problem. Contact facility maintenance to correct the
problem.
WARNING:
The bed must remain connected to the mains power supply until the charge LED turns on
(recharge time is approximately 10 hours for a completely discharged battery). Failure to do so
could cause the bed to not operate when power is unavailable.
If the bed is connected to AC power: the indicator flashes to indicate a low battery, and that it is charging;
if the indicator is off, the battery is fully charged.
If the bed is disconnected from AC power: the indicator is off, and the battery is not turned on; if the
indicator is on and solid, the battery is turned on; if the indicator flashes, and an alarm sounds during bed
articulation, the battery is low.
Brake and Steer Control
WARNING:
Unless transporting the patient, always set the brakes when the bed is occupied. Reconfirm that
the brakes are set before any patient transfer. Failure to do so may cause injury or damage.
The brake and steer controls are located on the four corners of the bed frame. There are three positions:
Brake, Neutral, and Steer. The brake position keeps the bed from moving. The neutral position allows the
bed to be moved sideways. The steer position allows the bed to be moved in a straight line.
When the bed is plugged into AC power and the brakes are not set, an alarm sounds until the brakes are
set or AC power is removed.

Head and Foot Siderails
WARNING:
Evaluate patients for entrapment risk according to facility protocol, and monitor patients
appropriately.
WARNING:
Evaluate patients for entrapment risk according to facility protocol, and monitor patients
appropriately. Make sure that all siderails are fully latched when in the raised position. Failure to
do either of these could cause serious injury or death.
NOTE:
Siderails are intended to be a reminder to the patient of the unit's edges, not a patient-restraining device.
When appropriate, Hill-Rom recommends that medical personnel determine the proper methods
necessary to make sure a patient remains safely in bed.
The siderails have been designed for one-step operation.
Siderails in the raised position are intended to make the patient aware of the proximity of the edge of the
sleep surface and to assist in patient entry and exit.
Siderails in the lowered position, below the patient surface, facilitate a patient’s entry or exit from the
bed. This design feature also facilitates unobstructed access to the patient.

10 Advanta™ 2 Bed User Manual (157722 REV 2)
To Raise
• Grasp the siderail by the top, not by the latch area.
• Pull the siderail up until it latches into the locked
position. A click will be heard when it latches into the
locked position.
•Oncetheclick is heard, gently pull on the siderail to
make sure it is latched correctly.
To Lower
• Make sure there is no weight against the siderail.
• Grasp the release handle and pull up. The siderail
lowers automatically.
Angle Indicators
The head siderails contain the Head Angle Line-of-Site®
Angle Indicators and the foot siderails contain the
Trendelenburg Line-of-Site® Angle Indicators. The angle
is read from the center of the ball. Beds with the 30 degree
head angle alarm will also display the angle on the flip-up
control pod on the head siderails.
WARNING:
Failure to make sure the head section is at the correct
angle for the patient’s care could cause patient injury.
When the angle of the head section is critical to the patient’s
care, do not depend on the head angle display only. Look to
make sure the head section is at the correct angle. If the
angle does not look correct, contact your facility-authorized
maintenance person.
On beds with the control pod and head angle display options, the display is always on and shows the head
angle of the bed unless a weight reading is being taken.
30° Head Angle Alarm
The Head Angle Alarm control is on the caregiver pod next to the display. When set, if the
head section goes below 30°, these will occur:
• The display will flash continuously.
• An audible alarm will come on.
• The alarm indicator will flash.
• If installed, the SafeView® Alerts lights will flash yellow.

Advanta™ 2 Bed User Manual (157722 REV 2) 11
NOTE:
The display on the caregiver pod continuously shows the angle of
the head section. Whenever the head section goes below 30°, the
display flashes five times.
Set the Alarm
1. Raise the head section to the applicable position above 30°.
2. Press the Enable control.
3. Press the Alarm control. The alarm indicator will come on.
NOTE:
When the bed operates on battery power the display will be off and the alarm will not work.
Turn Off the Alarm—raise the head section above 30°.
Deactivate the Alarm
1. Press the Enable control.
2. Press the Alarm control. The alarm indicator will go off
Line Manager
WARNING:
Do not use the Line Manager for ventilator circuits. To do
so could cause patient injury.
WARNING:
When you use the Line Manager, make sure the lines are
not pinched or kinked and there is sufficient slack in the
lines for bed articulations and patient movement. Failure to
do so could cause injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Failure to keep aseptic lines separate from non-aseptic lines may cause cross contamination.
WARNING:
Failure to remove lines from the Line Manager before you transfer the patient could cause
patient injury or equipment damage.
A Line Manager is on each head siderail. The Line Manager helps to keep lines (such as IV fusion lines,
suction lines, oxygen lines, etc.) together and away from the articulating frame.
Observe lines closely during articulations. Always use good line management techniques, particularly as
the head section rises.
Patient Personal Storage
Each head siderail has an area in the siderail for the patient to
store items.

12 Advanta™ 2 Bed User Manual (157722 REV 2)
Care Grip Hand Hold
Each head siderail has an ergonomically designed hand hold to
assist the patient during ingress and egress, and to position
themselves in the bed.

To Install
• Put the pins of the footboard into the sockets in the articulating frame.
• Push the footboard down until it rests on the deck.
Patient Position Indicator
