4.0 BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM
The bed is equipped with a battery backup system, which allows the electrically operated functions to
be used when the bed is disconnected from the main power source. The bed transitions between main
power and battery power automatically. To charge the battery, connect the power cord to an AC
power outlet receptacle. The bed should be plugged in as often as possible to maximize battery life.
If the bed is not used for a long period of time, it is recommended that the battery be charged at least
24 hours before operating on battery power.
NOTE: Keep the bed plugged into a main power receptacle for optimum performance and higher
adjustment speeds.

knee-gatch section of the mattress support
surface is elevated.
5.4.1 To Elevate Floor Section
Horizontally
While grasping the outer edges of
the foot section panel close to the
foot board, lift upwards slowly to an
elevation angle slightly past the desired
position. The foot section has two
ratchet struts that will produce a clicking
sound as the spring-loaded locking
mechanisms travel past the range of
available locking positions. Once the
desired position has been reached,
gently allow the foot panel to lower.
The locking mechanism will
automatically find the first available
ratchet position.
5.4.2 To Lower Floor Section
While grasping the outer edges of the
foot section panel close to the foot
board, lift upwards slowly to release
the spring locking mechanism. Then,
slowly lower the panel until firmly

HarmonyTM Low Bed 17
5.5 Manual Brake Release
In the event that the bed loses power and the battery is drained with the
brake engaged, check for available power sources. Make sure the power
cord is securely inserted in an outlet. If power is not available, you must use
the manual brake release in order to disengage brake.
To manually release the brake, remove the black plastic circular cover
located at the foot/head ends of the bed between the two wheels.
Note the label reading “MECHANICAL BRAKE OVERRIDE SOCKET.”
Slide the 11 mm socket wrench from the storage bracket located behind the head/foot wheel
assembly. Use the wrench to turn the override socket clockwise 1/4 turn. Repeat at the other end of
the bed and the brake will be released. To re-engage the electronic braking system, return the manual
release to its original position by turning it counter clockwise 1/4 turn.

7.0 ADDITIONAL FEATURES
7.1 Nurse Call Connectivity
To connect bed to a nurse call system, a standard 37 pin connection and 1/4" jack are located at the
head end of the bed below the patient deck. When connected, bed will send an alarm signal to the
nurse call system if nurse call button is pressed on the patient control panel or the patient control hand
pendant. In addition, the nurse call system will be signaled if bed exit alarm is triggered.
7.2 Triple-Guard Anti-Entrapment System
The bed is equipped with a comprehensive anti-entrapment system that implements three separate
mechanisms to reduce the chance of objects becoming entrapped under the bed frame.
a) Optical Sensors
Six sets of optical sensors are positioned under the bed frame. These sensors emit a light
beam that, when interrupted, will prohibit the bed from lowering. If the light beams are
interrupted while the bed is in the process of lowering and has traveled at least 4 inches
below the highest bed height setting, the bed will stop and raise approximately 1.5 inches
to free any potential obstruction.
b) Pressure Plates
Pressure plates are positioned over each of the two caster sections. When an object comes
into sufficient contact with a pressure plate, the bed will not lower. If the bed is in the
process of lowering and has traveled at least 4 inches below the highest bed height setting,
the bed will stop and raise approximately 1.5 inches to free any potential obstruction.
c) Weight Scale System
The weight scale system is designed to detect when the bed frame comes into contact
with an object while lowering. If that occurs, the bed will stop lowering. If the bed is in the
process of lowering and has traveled at least 4 inches below the highest bed height setting,
the bed will stop and raise approximately 1.5 inches to free any potential obstruction.
7.3 Antimicrobial Plastic Surfaces
The surfaces of the side rails and footboards are embedded with Nano Ag antimicrobial granules to
inhibit the growth and potential colonization of mold, bacteria and/or fungus (example: Staphylococcus
aureus). The synthetic antimicrobial granules (1% by weight) are directly mixed into the thermoplastic
polymer compound during production, so the potential for bacteria to exist on the treated material is
dramatically reduced.
7.4 Integrated USB Port
Integrated USB ports located on each of the patient side rail controls provide power to USB enabled
portable electronic devices. To utilize the USB port, slide the port cover to open position and insert a USB
cable into port. Connect cable to electronic device such as a phone or music player.

HarmonyTM Low Bed 19
7.5 Integrated Pump Holder
The footboard of the Harmony Low Bed features an integrated pump holder designed to easily attach
most air mattress pumps, sequential compression devices (SCDs), and other equipment designed to be
hung on a bed frame. If a specific pump does not securely attach to the integrated pump holder, an
optional attachment is also available.
7.6 Auxiliary Power Outlet
The Harmony Low Bed is equipped with a 110v auxiliary power outlet. The outlet receives power through
a dedicated black power cord. If the auxiliary power outlet is not powering a device, check that the
black power cord is plugged into a power supply and that the circuit breaker (located next to the
power outlet) does not need to be reset.
7.7 Optional Trapeze/Patient Helper
