Comfort level
The Soft and Firm buttons allow carers to adjust pressures within a safe pre-set range
to provide patients with enhanced comfort or support whilst maintaining a very good
level of protection and therapy. Qualified clinical advice must always be taken before
adjusting mattress pressures.
The required pressure is selected using the Soft and Firm buttons to move the pressure
by one step at a time.
When pressing the Firm button, the output pressure will increase to provide a higher
pressure output and thus increased support.
When pressing the Soft button, the output pressure will be decreased to provider a
lower pressure output and thus increased comfort.
To check if the pressure is adequately supporting the patient, slide one hand between
the air mattress and bed frame to feel under the patient's bottom. You should be able to
slide the hand in-between and an acceptable range is approximately 25 to 40 mm (1" to
1-1/2") to ensure the patient Is not bottoming out.

Control panel lockout
If the control panel is not used for a period of 30 seconds it will lock out and inhibit the
use of the functions. Additionally, if you wish to lock out the control panel press the Lock
Out button and all functions will be locked. This is to prevent the system being altered
accidently.
In order to unlock the control panel, simply press and hold the Lock Out button for 3
seconds, the control panel will now be active for use.

Simultaneously pressing the Soft and Firm buttons on the control panel will
activate Auto-Detection. Once activated the indicator will flash and the
system will start detecting and will set the internal pressure appropriately.
The indicator light will flash until the patient's weight and position has been
detected then the light will extinguish. Auto-Detection sets the internal
pressure for the patient so there is no requirement to input the patient's
weight, the internal pressure setting will vary slightly depending on BMI.
For example if you had two people weighting 65kg one tall and thin the
other shorter and thicker set, the first patient may auto-detect to 50kg whilst
the second to 75kg, this is due the difference in their BMI.
The Auto-Detection will repeat every 2 hours to allow the system to adjust
the pressure according to the patient's position.
To turn off the Auto-Detection simply press the Soft and Firm buttons
again simultaneously.
