2. WARNINGS & CAUTIONS - Continued
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
·Always use a mattress of the correct size and type. A range of suitable
pressure reducing and pressure relieving mattresses are available from
Hospequip.
·Before operating the bed make sure that the patient is safely positioned to
avoid entrapment.
·Before transporting the bed make sure that the bed is at a suitable height to
move without stooping, or straining.
·Always apply the brakes when the bed is stationary.
·If a patient's condition could lead to a possible entrapment the mattress
support platform should be left in the flat position, whilst unattended.
·The clinically qualified person responsible should consider the age, size and
condition of the patient before using the bed and its accessories.
·Always ensure that all medication lines/tubes and power cables are free from
possible entanglement with mechanical parts of the bed.
·Always ensure that attendant and patient limbs are free from potential
entrapment areas before operating any functions.
·Side rails must only be used with a mattress of the correct size as defined for
the Monterey bed.
·Maximum mattress thickness that can be used on the Monterey bed is 170mm,
the minimum mattress thickness is 100mm.
·To avoid accidental operation of the beds functions always store the beds
handset correctly when not in use. The handset can be stored by hooking it on
to the side rail of the bed, or behind the head board.

3. ELECTRONIC FUNCTIONS
WARNING
·Ensure that the patient, caregivers and, or other equipment is not positioned to
become either trapped, or crushed during bed adjustment.
·Ensure that the handset and electrical supply cables cannot become entangled
with moving parts of the bed.
CAUTION
·Do not operate the beds controls for more than the electronic systems
prescribed duty cycle. (see pages 12 and 13)
3.1 Handset Button Operation
The Monterey’s bed adjustments are powered by four electric actuators, which are
controlled by the buttons on the handset. Adjustment occurs only while a button is
pressed. Adjustment will stop when the button is released, or the movement selection
reaches the end of its range of adjustment.

Page | 6
3. ELECTRONIC FUNCTIONS –Continued
To move the mattress platform up, or down, press and hold the appropriate button on the
handset. The beds platform height can be adjusted through a range of 160mm low height
to a high height of 690mm.
To move the backrest up or down, press and hold the appropriate button on the handset.
The backrest can be adjusted through a range of between 0° and 70°.
WARNING
Care should be taken whilst operating the backrest function to ensure hands and
fingers are away from potential squeeze hazards.
To move the knee positioning section up and down, press and hold the appropriate
button on the handset. The knee section is adjustable through a range of 0° to 35°,
providing adjustable support to the patient’s legs.
Auto Contour Positioning provides synchronised movement of the backrest and knee
positioning in one operation. The position helps provide a more natural resting
environment for the patient.
The tilt button allows the bed to be positioned in a foot, or head down tilt position. Tilt
positioning achievable is between 0° and 14° for both head and foot down tilting.
CAUTION
The Trendelenburg function should only be used under professional supervision.
·When using the tilt function the mattress platform may initially rise before tilting.
The bed will automatically adjust to ensure there is sufficient clearance between
the mattress platform and the mechanical structure of the bed before tilting.
·When reversing the tilt angle of the bed with the tilt button remaining depressed
the mattress platform will pause at horizontal for two seconds before continuing
with the tilting movement.

4. GENERAL BED OPERATION –Continued
4.2 Bed Extension
The integral bed extension is easily extended to add an extra 195mm of length to the
mattress platform.
Extending the Bed Extension from the Closed Position
1. The bed extension is locked in the closed and fully open positions by two threaded
hand wheels located towards the foot end of the bed. To extend the bed, unscrew the
handwheels (both sides of the bed) anti clockwise until approximately 20mm of thread
is showing. Pull the foot panel towards you using two hands evenly spaced on the
panel. Pull the panel to its full extension and then screw the threaded handwheel back
to a closed position.
2. The same procedure in reverse is used to close the extension back to the standard bed
position.
Always ensure that the panel is locked correctly before use of the bed.
Warning
The bed extension is designed for use as a bed extension only and is not meant
to be sat on. The extra length of the bed with extra load can also make the bed
unstable, potentially resulting in injury to the user and patient.

4. GENERAL BED OPERATION –Continued
4.3 Fold Down Side Rails (Optional)
The (optional) bed rails are easily fitted by clamping to the side rail of the bed. Medical
equipment international standard IEC 60601-2-52, which includes specific rail
requirements are complex and strict. The Monterey bed rails meet these requirements
when fitted correctly.
4.3.1 Fitting the Side Rails
NOTE* The rails are a left and right-hand set and when fitted correctly fold
down towards the foot end of the bed.
1. Before fitting the rails unscrew the M10 bolts on both clamp brackets bringing the
locking clamps into an open neutral position.
2. With both bolts now unscrewed, lift the rail into position. It is important that the rails
are fitted to a specific position on the bed, which is indicated by the disc on the top of
the side rail. Position the rail over the disc and tighten the bolts to the closed position.

fingers are kept away from potential squeeze hazards.
·Side rails should only be used after clinical assessment and within
organisational policy and guidelines.
Side Rail Operation
To raise the side: Lift the top
rail until the magenta locating
pin/knob automatically clicks into
its locked position at maximum
height.
To lower the side: Hold the top
rail near the foot end of the bed
(1) and gently pull out the
magenta coloured operating
knob (2) lowering the side
towards the foot of the bed,
