following before and during use:
- Check that all plugs are connected correctly to ensure that all signals can be transmitted.
- Make sure the system is switched on
- Ensure that all cables are undamaged
- Position and fasten the sensor mat correctly to keep it from slipping (see "Securing the sen-

- It must always be ensured that the resident/patient is positioned correctly in the bed (e.g.
not facing backwards)
- Please observe the relevant minimum weights associated with the various mattress types
(see "Permissible mattresses and minimum resident weight")
- If incontinent residents/patients occupy the bed, incontinence protection must be used on
the mattress
- Do not use the sensor mat in combination with alternating pressure mattresses. Otherwise,
the system will not be able to transmit reliable signals
- Consider that the sensor mats are also subject to wear and tear to the degree that can be
reasonably expected from their use and must be replaced when they begin to show signs of
functional defects.*
- Keep the sender and receiver together if possible. If this is not possible, delete the receiver's
programming (the exact steps can be found in its usage instructions) and reconfigure it
To identify possible errors, please also note the error-cause matrix given later in the instruc-

possible causes.
* The wear and tear depends on the resident's/patient's weight, the bed occupation time and
