Pulse Button MA80, Alternating Pressure Button MA85

SECTION 2—OPERATION

Pulse Button (MA80)

1.Press the Pulse button () to Turn on Pulse mode and select one of four Pulse Times - 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes.

NOTE: The pulse times are 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes. The pulse times indicate the time between each low pulse. For example, if 5 minutes is selected, all the air cushions in the mattress will inflate for 5 minutes (the selected time) to the selected comfort setting and then drop 20% pressure for 20 seconds.

Alternating Pressure Button (MA85)

1.Press the Alternating Pressure button () to select one of four alternating pressure modes.

NOTE: The alternating pressure times indicate the frequency of deflation or inflation of half of the air cushions (even or odd numbered). For example, 10 minutes is selected. In this example, the even numbered air cushions in the mattress will deflate, while the odd numbered cushions remain at constant pressure. When 10 minutes has elapsed, the even numbered air cushions will inflate while the odd numbered cushions remain at constant pressure. When 10 minutes has elapsed again, the odd numbered air cushions deflate while the even numbered cushions remain at constant pressure. The air cushions continue to inflate or deflate like this as long as an alternating pressure time has been selected. At all times, half of the air cushions remain at a constant pressure when an alternating pressure time has been selected.

Adjusting the Minimum Pressure Setting (A/P Low)

The minimum pressure setting during Alternating Pressure is set to 0 (2 mmHg) at the factory. This means that the mattress will deflate as much as possible during the deflation time when using 10, 15 or 20 minute Alternating Pressure times. The setting can be changed so the mattress will only deflate to 50% of the selected pressure setting.

1.Ensure the Standby LED is lit.

2.Press and hold the Alternating Pressure () and Fowler ( ) buttons.
