4.1 General Operation

1. Switch on the main power switch found on the side of the pump.
2. Push the power button to turn on and run.
3. The system will automatically go into Max Firm mode for the quickest inflation. Once the pump begins
delivering air into the mattress it will take approximately 15~30 minutes to fully inflate the mattress.
NOTE: Please do not place patient on a mattress until it is fully inflated.
4. During the initial inflation (Max Firm process), user may preset the system by pressing the Mode button
and select a desired mode, while both selected mode and Max Firm LED indicators will be
simultaneously on.
5. When the initial inflation (Max Firm process) is completed, the system will automatically enter the
Auto-Adjust process. During the Auto-Adjust process, the preset function LED indicator will be off.
6. According to patient weight differences, the system will automatically adjust an appropriate pressure
setting to ensure the patient's comfort, and then go into the alternating mode or the previously set
mode.
NOTE: The last five cells from the foot-end have heel-relief
connectors. Carers can easily disconnect the connector and
heels can be suspended in air to completely eliminate pressure
exerted on the heels.
4.2 Pressure FINE-TUNE
Depending on the desired preference, user can adjust mattress pressure slightly by pressing Tuning
button .
NOTE: Check to see if the suitable pressure is selected by sliding one hand between the deflated air
cells and the patient to feel patient's buttocks. Users should be able to feel the minimum
contact.
