Note:
It is important that during the INITIALISING phase the mattress connector is not
disconnected from the power unit. If this is done, the power unit must be switched off,
MUTE button pressed when the sounder is heard, the mattress connector re-engaged,
and the power unit restarted. If UNCALIBRATED is displayed when switched on, the
system will continue to operate but should be recalibrated as soon as possible.
9. When a bottom sheet is added to the mattress, ensure that it is left loose to allow the
mattress surface to conform with the patient's body as much as possible.
10. Allow the mattress to inflate before positioning the patient on the mattress.
11. Once inflated the system will automatically default to ACTIVE mode. CONTINUOUS
LOW PRESSURE therapy can be selected via the THERAPY MODE button (please see
THERAPY MODE on page 7). The comfort setting can be adjusted using the up and down
arrow buttons (see COMFORT CONTROL on page 7).
NB. The power unit will automatically lock 2 minutes 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 MUTE/UNLOCK button until
power unit beeps if further button operation is needed (i.e. change of therapy mode or
comfort setting).
12. Place the carry bag and user manual in a safe place for future use.
