About the PERSONA 10
This television is specifically designed for entertainment purposes and for use in a
hospital, a nursing home, a medical-care center, or a similar health-care center in
which installation is limited to a non-hazardous area in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
This user’s guide has been designed for both the TV installer and TV Rental
Representatives. It identifies the features of the PERSONA 10 and describes
how to program the TV using an infrared (IR) remote control. These instructions
are NOT for a PERSONA 10 that is computer controlled.
Programming is the process of selecting from among the many features of the
PERSONA 10 television. It is also the process of adding and removing channels
from the three service levels this TV provides.
Please read through this guide carefully, with a PERSONA 10 TV in front of you,
as you begin the process of learning how to program these televisions. Also keep
the guide handy, so you can refer to it, for future programming changes. The
information in this guide describes each of the main SETUP MENU items:

This TV can be
operated from
either
28 Volt AC
-or-
24 Volt DC
Installing TV on Suspension Arm
The PERSONA 10 TV is designed to mount on a wall mounted suspension arm
capable of supporting a TV weighing approximately 8 pounds. The coaxial cable
on top the TV is used to supply both low voltage AC or DC power and a TV signal
to the TV.
DANGER: ARM RECOIL HAZARD The safety brake pin must
remain in the SAFETY BRAKE PIN HOLE whenever the television
set is removed from the arm or when the arm is removed from the
wall bracket to prevent the arm from springing open.
1. On existing arms, remove the black Socket Head Cap Screw from the bottom
of the arm. Discard cap screw. It is not necessary to remove the Swivel
Tension Nut to attach the TV. If the swivel is disassembled and reassembled
incorrectly, it will not function properly.
2. Slide the LCD TV swivel completely into the arm’s clevis (slot). The TV’s
square retainer plate should rest on top of the arm with the TV’s swivel
beneath.
3. Align the retainer plate’s mounting hole over the arm mounting hole. Thread
the black ½” Socket Head Cap Screw supplied with the TV through the
retainer plate and into the arm’s nose. Tighten.
4. Swivel the TV and tighten the tension nut to 6 Ft-Lbs.

5. The cable from the arm should be joined with the television cable, wrench
tightened, and the connection covered by sliding the plastic
boot sections into mating position.
IMPORTANT: Finger-tightening only of this cable connection will result in
reliability problems weeks or months later. Because the TV draws its power
current through this connection, eventually the finger-tightened connection
will loosen and develop resistance
prompting a service call. Wrench
tighten all “F” fitting connections!
6. Position the arm cover in the front
and line up the cover pin holes.
Remove the safety brake pin from
the parking brake hole and place it
in the cover pin hole. Tighten nut
on safety brake pin. Note: the
cover pin hole from the 400 series
arm is located at the top back of
the arm’s nose.
7. Connect the coax cable at the base of the arm to the wall bracket “F” fitting.
Wrench tighten.
8. Cycle the arm once or twice to check for free movement – if stiff, a slight
loosening of the friction screws will free the movement. DO NOT LOOSEN
MORE THAN 1/16 TURN.
Control Panel
The easy to clean membrane control panel located on the lower front of the TV
contains 9 large easy to read, buttons and a direct entry keypad for both channel
and cursor control. Either the patient or the TV Rental Agent can use the 5 lower
buttons, to turn the TV ON or OFF, change channels and raise or lower the
sound. These functions can be controlled with the infrared remote also.
On the top of the membrane control panel, 4 cursor arrow controls located in the
numbered keypad that are available for computer control applications. They are
disabled on the standard PERSONA 10. Pressing the cursor buttons will have
NO control over the onscreen display or any TV function.
The “feature” and “enter” buttons allow the patient to self rent the television.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q. We do not offer rental television in our hospital. How do I set up the

Using the Basic level instead of the Free level will prevent
the “Press mute/enter to confirm rental” screen from
appearing when the “RENT” button is pressed.

select “Channel Setup”. Press “VOL▼” or “VOL▲” to enter
the “Channel Setup” sub-menu.

sequence. A “Confirm Autoprogram Start” menu will now
appear. To continue press “Chl▲” to begin
autoprogramming. Press “Chl▼” to exit.
HINT: Once you have programmed the “Basic” service
level, copy this service level to both the “Free” and
“Premium” levels as well. If an attendant mistakenly
enables a different service level other than “Basic”, you will
still offer the same channels.
Q. Our hospital offers maternity and other educational services to
select areas of the hospital. How do I program for these channels
only?
A. The PERSONA 10 offers three distinct service levels: Free, Basic,
and Premium. Program the maternity or educational channels into
the Premium service level. Televisions placed into those locations
that require maternity or educational services would simply have
their service level set to “Premium”.
Q. Our hospital has a “Welcome Channel”. How do I program the TV
to start on the “Welcome Channel” every time it is turned ON?
A. The PERSONA 10 offers a “Power On Channel” setting for each
service level. Use the “Power On Channel – Speaker” menu and
set the Power On Channel to the hospital Welcome channel
