Annex A Health Care Pendant / Pillow Speaker Operation

The Philips 20FT3310 Institutional Television product can be used in hospitals and other medical facilities. It is compatible with a type of device known as a “pillow speaker” or “pendant control”. This device contains a built-in speaker for bedside audio, while also providing television power, channel, and volume control functions, all by means of a three- conductor cable. Examples of two such devices are described herein. The following products are manufactured by Curbell Industries (www.curbell.com), Orchard Park, NY.

The “analog” version of the pillow speaker, as it is sometimes referred to, provides a built-in speaker, a volume control, and one dual-purpose button that both selects the TV channel, and powers the television on and off.

If the television is in the standby state (power off), a single press of the channel / power button will turn the unit on.

When the television is on, each press of the button increments the currently-tuned channel.

If the television is on, it will power off when the the channel /

power button remains depressed for four successive channel increments (the television will power off after the fourth channel increment).

NOTE : Analog -style controls tend to exhibit a relatively slow response time tochannel commands. This is normal, and is not indicative of a system problem.

One example of a so- called “digital” version of the pillow speaker provides a built -in speaker, a volume control, and dedicated buttons that perform the following functions, as indicated.

• Power on/off

• Channel up

• Channel down

• Closed-caption

• Channel guide
