4. Start-up / Operation
4.1 Controls
Stand-by switch
4.2 Preparing the pump for use
Mains operation:
• insert the input plug (h) of the mains adapter (g) into the
electrical connection socket (i) of the unit (Fig. 1). The mains
adapter must correspond to the local mains electricity supply.
Important: remove the batteries before plugging the unit into
the mains.
Battery operation:
• Release the latch (Fig. 2) and slide open the battery cover.
• Six LR 06 / AA batteries are required for use. Check the + / -
mark orientation of the batteries (Fig. 3).
• Close the battery compartment cover and secure by re-engag-
ing the latch (Fig. 4). The average working life with a medium
vacuum and cycle setting is approximately 5 hours (Duracell
batteries). We recommend that you use Duracell batteries.
Connecting the Pumpset
The Pumpset is an applied part of Calypso. Use of the Pumpset
(b) is detailed in the separate "Ardo Pumpset" Operating
Instructions.
• To use the single Pumpset: attach the tube connector (c) to
the pump (f) (Fig. 5). The second opening of the tube connec-
tor remains closed.
• To use the double Pumpset: Open the second opening of the
tube connector and attach the second Pumpset (Fig. 6).
• Attach the tube connector (c) to the pump (f) (Fig.7).
4.3 Operation
The vacuum (suction intensity) and cycle (suction frequency) can be
adjusted independently of each other. Touching the switches changes
the intensity of the vacuum or the cycle by one level.
• Turn on the pump by touching the stand-by switch (Fig. 8). The
green LED display will light up. Choose the settings which you
find most comfortable.
• Touch the up-arrow to increase the intensity of the vacuum
(suction strength). Touch the down-arrow to reduce the vacuum
(Fig. 9).
• Touch the up-arrow to step-up the cycle (suction frequency).
Touch the down-arrow to reduce the cycle (Fig. 10).
