4.
Ensure that the Toggle switch is in the “Alternating Pressure” position.
5.
Ensure that green On/Off switch at side of control unit is “Off”. Plug power cord into
wall outlet. Press On/Off switch “ON”.
Never thread airline through mechanical parts of the bed or bed rails where normal bed movement
may damage the airlines, power cord or the control unit itself. Check to be sure the motion of the bed
does not interfere with the airlines, power cord or plug.
Always plug the power cable securely into the wall outlet. Make sure the wall-mounted outlet will
accommodate a heavy duty or hospital-grade plug and that the outlet is in good working order. The
plug of the power cord should fit tightly into the wall outlet. The plug body, the wall outlet, and the
wall plate should not be cracked or chipped. The plug blades should be securely retained in the plug
body. The ground pin of the plug should be intact and secure.
Do not connect the power cord to an extension cord or to a multiple outlet strip. If the use of extension
cords or multiple outlet strips cannot be avoided, use only heavy duty or hospital-grade connectors
that are approved by the facility engineering department. Multiple outlet strips should be mounted on
a fixed object to reduce the risk of liquid spills and physical damage. In addition, if multiple-receptacle
outlet boxes are used, they also should be protected from the risk of liquid spills and physical damage.
All extension cords and multiple outlet strips should be tagged and inspected routinely.
Do not cover the power cord with a rug or carpet. Rugs or carpets can prevent normal air flow, which
can lead to greater heat built-up. Place the cord in a low or no traffic area. Check to be sure the
motion of the bed does not interfere with the bed’s power cord or plug.
6. When power switch is turned to ON, the unit will power up in “Auto Firm” mode and
begin performing a system check. This fills the air system completely, in order to
confirm the proper connection and function of both the mattress and the control unit
prior to a patient being placed on the surface. If the mattress is completely empty of
air, this can take as long as 20 minutes. Since this is rarely the case, however, this
typically takes no more than 2.5 minutes.
7. System will remain in “Auto Firm” mode until this process is complete. “Low
Pressure” indicator light and audible alarm will remain on as well. Audible Alarm can
be disengaged during this process by pressing the Audible Alarm On/Off button.
8. When system check is complete, the control unit will revert to previous comfort
setting and “Alternate” mode. Low Pressure indicator light will turn off. System is
now ready to be set for the next user.
NOTE: If “Low Pressure” remains on after 30 minutes, call for service.
