IMPORTANT SAFETY AND WARNING INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: Powered air mattress surfaces may
pose a risk of entrapment. Prior to use, ensure the
therapeutic benets outweigh the risk of entrapment.
The bed is intended for use within a temperature
range of 10˚C to 40˚C. It has a water resistance
rating of IPX4 and IS NOT to be power washed or
submerged.
Note: The bed may be cleaned as needed
using an appropriate dilution of mild soap and water.
The head / back and knee / foot decks can be lifted
freely by hand for easy cleaning access when patients
are not in the bed. If you lift the head / back or knee
/ foot deck for any reason, take great care when
lowering back down to the prone position - ensure
all body parts are clear of the space between the
deck and the bed prior to slowly lowering any deck
manually. To avoid injury, DO NOT LET DECKS
FALL FREELY FROM ANY ANGLE.
WARNING: This product can expose you to
chemicals including Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate
(DEHP) which is known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. For more information go to
www.p65warnings.ca.gov/furniture.
WARNING: ALWAYS position bed so that the power
cord and plug are easily accessed.
Proper routing and tie-off of electrical cabling,
especially the power cord, is essential for proper
operation and to ensure safety from electrical shock.
In the event you are replacing any electrical cabling
on your bed, you must ensure the cables are free
from pinch points, obstructions, or stretched so tight
that they may come loose or become damaged. In
addition, cables should be tied off in such a way to
secure them and keep them free from tangling on
any part of the bed during normal operation. Refer to
pages 30 and 31 for proper cable routing.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) INFORMATION
WARNING: Medical Electrical Equipment needs
special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be
installed and put into service according to the EMC
information provided in this manual.
WARNING: Electronic equipment may be inuenced
by Radio Frequency (RFI). Caution should be
exercised with regard to the use of portable
communications in the area around such equipment.
Portable RF communications equipment (including
peripherals such as antenna cables and external
antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12
inches) to any part of the bed including specied bed
cables. Degradation of the performance of the bed
could result.
IF RFI causes erratic behavior, unplug the
electric bed immediately. Leave unplugged while
transmission is in progress.

decreased immunity of the bed. GF Health cables
and accessories include motor cables, mains cable,
pendant cables, back up battery and cable, USB port
cable and UBL and cable.
WARNING: This bed should not be used adjacent
to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or
stacked use with other equipment is necessary, this
bed and the other equipment should be observed to
verify that they are operating normally.
WARNING: The EMISSIONS characteristics of
this equipment make it suitable for use in industrial
areas and hospitals (CISPR 11 class A). If it is used
in a residential environment (for which CISPR 11
Class B is usually required) this equipment might
not offer adequate protection to radio frequency
