Turn Angle
The Turn Angle feature allows for the desired turn
angle to be selected. The mattress can make a half or
full turn based on the optimal therapy for
the resident.

Additional Features

Warning: A possible fire hazard exists. This product is
suitable for use with oxygen administering equipment
of the nasal, mask, or half bed-length, tent-type only.
To prevent personal injury or equipment damage,
ensure that the oxygen tent does not extend below
the mattress.

CPR

The hose connection at the control unit is marked
CPR. Disconnect the hose from the control unit.
Deflation times will vary based on resident weight and
profile. To resume therapy, reattach the hose to the
control unit.
Transport
To transport the resident in bed, turn the control unit
off. Unplug the power cord from the outlet. Do not
disconnect the hose connection at the control unit.
The lower support cell will prevent the resident from
bottoming out for up to 12 hours.

Power Failure

If power fails to the system an alarm will sound and
the Power Fail LED will turn on until power is restored.
When the power is restored, the control unit will return
to the previous comfort adjust setting in Static mode.
The Turn mode must be reselected manually.

Low Pressure Alarm

If the control unit senses a low pressure condition,
such as a disconnected hose or therapy cell, then it
will activate an audible alarm and will flash "L" and "P"
on the display. Once the low pressure condition has
been corrected, the alarm will cease and the control
unit will return to normal operation.
