As a result, when the correspondence table in which the desired settings are not written is stored in the nonvolatile memory of the nurse call base unit newly delivered from the production plant, or the number of beds in the patient room is changed. , For example, even if the layout is changed, compared to the conventional example, not only can the number of man-hours for rewriting the setting contents be reduced and the speed can be improved, but also for a nurse other than a nurse in the nurse station who operates buttons. No need to secure personnel.
