nates, and the alarm sounds, when pressure level is lower
than the selected pressure. If the low pressure indicator
persistently illuminates inappropriately:
1. Check to ensure all connections are properly and se-
curely connected per installation instructions.

1. Remove all sheets, blankets, and pillows from the bed.
2. Place the mattress on top of the
bed frame; ensure that the foot
end symbol faces up at foot end
as shown at right. Secure mat-
tress to bed with straps.
hanger
3. Fold open the wire hangers on
the back of the pump as shown
at right.

s
Caution: Place the device in a position where the care-
giver and/or doctor can access it easily.
5. Connect the mattress-pump air
hose quick connector; ensure that
the connector has clicked securely
into place before continuing.
s
Caution: Ensure that the air hoses are not kinked or
tucked under the mattress.
WARNING: Locate all cords so that they will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
WARNING: Do not use a household extension cord if
the electrical cord does not reach the power outlet.
Use of an improper extension cord could result in
fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must
be used, use a three conductor cord with ground,
properly wired, in good electrical condition, and keep
it as short as possible.
WARNING: Ensure that the local power voltage is
appropriate for the pump unit.
6. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical
outlet.

Note: The mattress system will automatically enter Autofirm
mode for the quickest inflation at set-up; initial inflation takes
approximately twenty minutes.
3. The pump will begin delivering air into the mattress.
4. When the selected pressure level is reached, the pump
will enter alternating mode. The mattress can then be
adjusted to the desired pressure.
5. Replace all sheets, blankets, and pillows on the bed.
pressure adjustment
Generally, a lighter patient will need a lower (softer) set-
ting while a heavier patient will need a higher (firmer)
setting, but pressure adjustment must ultimately be based
on the patient's weight distribution. A short, stocky person
may be the same weight as a tall, thin person, but their
settings will not be the same. The mattress should be firm
enough to support the patient, yet soft enough so the
patient will sink down to eliminate pressure points. Initially
inflate the mattress to maximum pressure. Then, when
patient lies on the mattress, test the pressure by placing
four fingers below the mattress under the patient's but-
tock area; your fingers should just fit. If the fit is too loose,
decrease the setting. If your fingers do not fit well, increase
the setting two notches firmer. Wait ten minutes and then
check again. You should only have to adjust this setting
one time per patient. Please consult your physician for an
appropriate setting.
