Installation and User Guidelines
1. Remove all packaging from the cushion and power unit.
2. Place the cushion on the chair, ensuring that the cushion is placed the correct way
up with the BACK labelling facing the back of the chair. Secure cushion to chair using
adjustable straps if applicable.
3. Suspend power unit from chair in a convenient position
using the carry case provided, or place on a flat surface
in the correct orientation.
4. Attach cushion air supply hose to power unit by matching
up the alignment notch and groove on the ATTIVO™
power unit connection port and cushion hose connector
and pushing together (Fig. 1). Ensure that this has been
correctly clicked into place, otherwise a leak may occur.
5. If using mains power, insert the mains adapter DC
outlet cable plug into the side of the power unit, and the other end into a mains outlet
and switch the outlet on. The mains adapter indicator should be illuminated. If using an
the optional vehicle adapter, insert the DC outlet cable plug into the side of the power
unit, and the vehicle plug into a vehicle 12V power outlet. The vehicle adapter indicator
should be illuminated.
NB. The battery will charge when the unit is connected to a mains or vehicle adapter
(indicated by battery charge status icon on display screen scrolling from left to right) and
provides automatic continued operation if the external power supply or adapter fails. It is
recommended to use a mains adapter when convenient to do so as this will ensure the
battery is fully charged when needed. A fully discharged
battery will take a number of hours to fully charge.
6. Standby mode is automatically invoked when the power is
switched on. Press the RUN/STOP button to initialise and
run the seating system. When the power unit has finished
initialising the pump screen will display ATTIVO together
with the battery status and the comfort setting (Fig. 2)
7. The default comfort setting is MEDIUM. The comfort
setting can be adjusted using the up and down arrow
buttons (see COMFORT CONTROL on page 5).
8. The power unit will automatically lock 1 minute after last button operation when running
to prevent inadvertent operation of button functions (except MUTE), as indicated by
‘ ’ on the display screen. Press and hold the UNLOCK button until power unit beeps if
further button operation is needed.
NB.
The display screen is only illuminated for a short period after button operation in
battery mode.
9. To stop the power unit, press and hold the UNLOCK button until power unit beeps and
‘ ‘ clears from display screen. Then press and hold the RUN/STOP button until power
unit beeps three times to return to stand-by mode (if using the power adapter, disconnect
it from the power unit and unplug from the power source). The power unit will then power
off automatically after one minute of inactivity or may be forced off by pressing the MUTE
key.
10. Place the user manual in a safe place for future use.
It should be noted that the use of an alternating air pressure cushion will increase the patient’s
seated height by approximately 5cm, and care should be taken to ensure the patient’s comfort
and security regarding height of foot and arm rests.
