6. Cradle Operation
Hand Control:
Operating the 4-point Adaptive Power Cradle is a very easy process. Once the patient has been
placed in the sling and the sling has been attached to the Adaptive Power Cradle, the cradle is
positioned by using the hand control located in the cradle handle (see fig. 10).
Pressing the “Up” arrow button will move the patient into a reclined or lying position.
Pressing the “Down” arrow button will move the patient into an upright or sitting position.
The 4-point Adaptive Power Cradle can be positioned in incremental movements or in one
constant motion. This ensures the patient is positioned in the optimum profile for their maximum
comfort.
WARNINg!
When placing the cradle and sling in the most upright position do not leave the patient
unattended. The patient could slump forward in the sling, which could result in an injury
to the patient.
Battery & Control Box:
The 4-point Adaptive Power Cradle requires a minimum of maintenance but it is very important to
perform regular maintenance and to have a thorough understanding of the control system.
The control box has been designed to provide audible signals. The signals are indicated with
long, short or multiple “beeps”.
1. Power On (Power is on when the battery is inserted) : One extended “BEEP”
2. Sleep Mode: Two short “BEEPS”
3. Low Battery: Two short “BEEPS” repeated every 24 seconds. (charge battery)
4. Start Operation: Two “BEEPS” (low voltage, charge battery soon)
5. During Operation: One long BEEP (the battery charge is too low; only a reclined position
can be achieved). Replace the battery with a fully charged battery.
