What This Guide Helps With
Error 0x2003 Audio Settings Missing indicates a failure in the bed’s audio configuration, resulting in missing alerts, tones, or audible safety notifications. This can impact caregiver awareness and patient safety.
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
Ensure Patient Safety First
- Remove the bed from active patient use if audio alerts are required
- Transfer the patient to a fully functional bed if needed
- Ensure patient monitoring continues without reliance on faulty alarms
Verify the Reported Error and Behavior
- Power on the bed and confirm Error 0x2003 is displayed
- Check for missing button tones or alarm sounds
- Observe if the error appears at startup or during use
Check for Muted or Disabled Audio Settings
- Access the bed settings menu
- Verify volume is not set to zero
- Ensure audio alerts are enabled
Perform a Full Power Cycle
- Unplug the bed from AC power
- Wait at least 60 seconds
- Reconnect power and restart the system
Inspect External Connections
- Check visible external cables near control interfaces
- Look for loose or damaged harnesses
- Inspect for signs of liquid intrusion
Attempt System Reboot and Settings Reinitialization
- Reset user-configurable settings to default if available
- Confirm whether audio settings return after reboot
Determine Likely Internal Failure
- If the error persists after resets and checks, suspect internal failure
- System Control Board (SCB) likely unable to store or load audio configuration
If the Problem Persists
All external and configuration-related causes have been ruled out. Persistent Error 0x2003 Audio Settings Missing indicates an internal failure.
- Remove the bed from service
- Label the device as Out of Service
- Send for repair or replace the System Control Board (SCB)
Clinical Use Tip
Never troubleshoot a bed with missing audio alerts while a patient is relying on it. Always transfer the patient to a backup device first.

Helpful Details to Include (If Known)
- Alarm behavior
- Accessories swapped
- Power behavior
- Environmental factors
- Indicator lights
- Final device status
Final Thought
Start with configuration and power checks, but persistent audio-related errors indicate deeper system issues. Escalating appropriately ensures patient safety and efficient repair workflow.
That is successful troubleshooting.
