of the cabinet safely!
WARNING

ture with your hand, gloves isolate
and can lead to a temperature mis-
judgement.
l After drying, unlock the castors and return the
resident to his/her room.
WARNING
Re-position the resident if needed to
ensure that the resident is sitting
upright in the centre of the chair.
WARNING
Never leave the resident unattended
at any time, particularly when
Calypso is in a raised position.
WARNING
The safety belt must always be used
to make sure the resident remains in
an upright position in the middle of
the seat. The safety belt must be
attached to the seat of Calypso on the
same side as the back rest and
securely buckled.
WARNING
Make sure Calypso is completely
clear from all surrounding devices,
baths and furniture when being raised
or lowered. Make sure Calypso is at
least 30 cm (1 foot) away from the
cabinet or other device if the tub is
being raised for any reason such as
quicker drainage! Make sure that the
resident does not pull or hold on to
stable objects at any time, especially
while Calypso is being moved or the
brakes are applied.
