1. Comfort Adjust Levels The Comfort keys adjusts the pump pressure output to the mattress/overlay. When pressing the ( ), output pressure increases making the mattress/overlay firmer. Pressing ( ) decreases the air pressure, making the mattress/overlay softer. When the pump is started it always begins in the inflation mode and then changes to Alternate. Once Alternate is illuminated the carer sets the pressure to the appropriate weight of the client, and adjusts afterwards for client comfort and clearance.
4
2. Therapy Press the Therapy button to change the therapy mode. A. Inflate Mode This is the default mode each time the power switch is turned on. This ensures the pump is able to reach its maximum operating pressure. Once the max pressure level is reached, the pump will automatically switch into alternating mode. The user can also activate this function to assist with easier transfer on and off the mattress/overlay surface. B. Alternate Mode The normal operating mode of the system. The mattress overlay system will alternate every 10Mins. C. Static Mode The static mode inflates all mattress/overlay cells equally and stops all alternation. The mode can be activated or suspended by pushing on the static button. The advantage of operating in a static mode is it allows caregivers to perform therapy on a level surface. Also some clients may initially find alternation prevents them from going to sleep so this mode can assist. The Static automatically reverts back to alternation after 20 minutes. It is not recommended or therapeutic to extend the static mode beyond 20 minutes. D. Sitting Mode The seat inflation feature provides additional pressure support to the mattress/overlay and is usually activated during bed backrest elevation. The extra pressure reduces the potential of the client bottoming out whilst sitting upright. It can be activated to work alone or in combination with the static mode. 3. Lock/Unlock (Panel Lock) Should the panel remain untouched for 3 minutes, the panel lock feature will lock all panel keys with green LED light on to prevent accidental changing of the setting during normal operation. To unlock, simply press and hold the Panel lock button for 3 seconds. 4. Alarm Mute Press alarm mute button to temporarily suspend the low-pressure alarm (LED light and buzzer). Should the situation not be resolved within 5 minutes, the alarm shall resume. A. PFA (Power Failure Alarm) During power failure situation, the Power Failure LED light will light up with the buzzer sounding. Pressing the mute button will disable both buzzer and LED and turn off the pump. The pump will restart when power supply resumes, but will need the operator/carer to reset. Do not have the client on the mattress/overlay during power failure or low pressure situations. B. Low Pressure Indicator When low pressure LED lights up, the pressure inside of air mattress is below normal. Please refer to troubleshooting. 5
5. Service LED This service LED will illuminate when the unit fails due to a mechanical fault- Please contact your local service technician or call GMS Rehabilitation on 1800 060 919. DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE PRODUCT- remove the client from this surface.
3. INSTALLATION Unpack the box to inspect for damage, which may have occurred during shipment. If there is any damage, please contact your dealer immediately. 3.1 PUMP & MATTRESS INSTALLATION 1. Place the mattress/overlay on top of the bed frame. Please note the foot end. Overlay to go on top of existing foam mattress, Mattress replacements on to bed base. 2. Hang the pump onto bed rail (foot-end), and adjust hangers, or place the pump on the floor in safe position. 3. Connect air hose connectors from air mattress to the pump unit. When a "click" sound is felt or heard, the connection is completed and secured. NOTE: Check and ensure the air hoses are not kinked or tucked under mattress. 4. Plug the power cord into electrical outlet and pump unit. NOTE: 1. Make sure the pump unit is suitable for the local power voltage.
CAUTION: The pump can only be used with the mattress recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use it for any other purpose. 5. Then turn the main Green power switch to the ON position.
6
Grounding: Before any connection to the output connectors is made, the unit shall be connected to a protective earth conductor via the three-core main cable; the mains plug shall be inserted only into a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. The protective action shall not be negated by the user of an extension cord without protective conductor. Use only the cord supplied with the unit. Several installation tips are listed below: After installation, the extra length of the power cord, if any, should be neatly arranged to avoid any tripping accidents. The pump should be firmly placed in a position where users/carers can access easily.
4. OPERATION NOTE: Always read the operating instructions before use. 4.1 GENERAL OPERATION 1. Switch on the main power switch found at the side of the pump. GREEN 2. Press the ON/OFF, the pump unit delivers air to the mattress and takes approximately 20 min to fully inflate. 3. The low-pressure indicator (yellow LED) will light up with an alarm sounding if normal operating pressure is not reached from power on around 40mins. When the appropriate pressure is reached, the low-pressure indicator (yellow LED) will go off and pump will automatically revert to the status of last power off (e.g. enter the alternating mode). 4. Once fully inflated and in alternation mode with no alarms sounding the client can be placed on the mattress/overlay. The comfort setting can be adjusted to suit the individual client. It is essential to test for clearance of at least 50mm between the clients sacral/bottom region and the base of the mattress/overlay NOTE
Unzip cover and place hand between the deflated cell and client’s sacrum/bottom. There should be 2”/5cm gap when the cell is deflated. If not increase the comfort level and retest. If unable to achieve ring your local dealer for advice.

4.2 CPR When there is an emergency that requires CPR to be performed on the client, quickly pull the CPR valves to release air from mattress. The CPR valves are located at the head-end, right-hand-side of the mattress. The quick connector found on the pump unit can be disconnected for even faster deflation. 4.3 PRESSURE SET UP Users can adjust pressure of air mattress to a desired softness by adjusting the comfort keys. Please consult your physician/allied health professional for a suitable setting. Clients can lie on the mattress after the pump is running under the alternating mode; this indicates the pressure has reached normal operating levels. 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. 4.4 LOW PRESSURE INDICATION FUNCTION When an abnormal low pressure occurs, the Low Pressure indicator (yellow LED) will light up along with the buzzer. Check to ensure all connections are connected properly and that they are correctly installed as per installation instructions. NOTE: If the pressure level is consistently low, check for any leakage (tubes or connecting hoses). If necessary, replace any damaged tubes or hoses. Contact local qualified dealer for repair. Do not continue to use the product in a low pressure condition. The Low Pressure indicator will light up until the low-pressure fault condition is resolved. 4.5 STATIC MODE Press the STATIC button to suspend the alternating mode of mattress. By pressing this button again, the mattress will switch back to alternating therapy mode. This will auto revert to alternating mode after 20 minutes. 4.6 ALARM MUTE When a low-pressure situation has occurred, both the LED light and buzzer will sound off to warn the client/carer. Press the button to temporarily mute the buzzer so the care giver can check for possible air leaks. Should the situation not be resolved within 5 minutes, the alarm will resume beeping.
