the footboard, make sure that the mattress CPR valve is in closed position and hose assembly is 
connected securely to the control unit.

that the mattress CPR valve is in closed position, bolster and/or air pad plugs are connected properly and 
check that the mattress hose assembly is connected securely to the control unit.
