How To Tune Into Radio Heatherwood

Tell Me How Do I Tune Into Radio Heatherwood ?

Tuning Into Radio Heatherwood It’s Easy !

   

We have two ways for you to listen to the hospital radio service at Heatherwood. Above most beds in the hospital is a bedhead terminal provided by hospicom. A stereo selection of four radio services is available including Radio Heatherwood.

If you are not able to use the terminal, a personal radio with AM will allow you to tune in on 999kHz AM. ( Available in most areas of the hospital ).

Terminal Above Your Bed

To use your terminal above the bed you must first switch it on. A rocker type power switch is located at the bottom right (underneath), as you look at the terminal. Once switched on, it may take a few minutes before you see the front screen image below. This is basically a computer which needs to initialize before you can use it.
