The IR311E (IR-311E) Single Patient Station provides reliable twoway, hands-free communication between patient and nurse, and provides for programmable privacy, paging, and patient priority from the master station. Calling the nurse is accomplished by pressing the call cord button or the area indicated NURSE on the pillow speaker. Solid-state LEDs on the panel indicate the call has been placed and the intercom is in use. If the pillow speaker or callcord is accidentally removed from its receptacle, the nurse master station registers a non-cancelable call with cord out indication. The call may be reset only by returning the call cord or pillow speaker to its receptacle.
