Never clean or service the bed without unplugging it from the mains power supply
and disconnecting the battery.
The battery backup must never be left in direct contact with fire, placed in liquid, or
discarded in a refuse bin. In the event of the battery being damaged, see “De-
commissioning” page 80.
This label indicates that the bed
must never be used with an
oxygen tent or in explosive atmospheres
(presence of
inflammable gases or vapors)
.
Use only nasal tubes and oxygen
masks. For reasons of safety, masks and tubes should always be
kept at a higher level than the sleep surface.
Always lock out the HiLow function before any cleaning or
maintenance operations.
If the bed is equipped with a battery, and the bed is stored for long periods of time, the
battery must be charged every 3 months. Failure to do so could result in damage to the
battery.
If a continuous alarm sounds when activating a movement, the battery needs to
be recharged.
