IMPORTANT!
 Do not return a product for any reason without first contacting Customer
Service to obtain authorization (See Section 9.0).
 Do not place any objects/items, such as blankets, on, or over, the
electronic controller. Excessive weight placed on the Sentry/ST System
Mattress, i.e., greater than 500 pounds /226 kilograms could result in
damage to the electronic controller or mattress (See Section 7.1).
 After exposure to extreme high or low temperatures, allow electronic
controller to reach room temperature before operating.
 The Sentry/ST Systems circulate room air during operation. Exposure to
smoke may cause the system to fail. Therefore, smoking by patients, or
visitors, while using the Sentry/ST Systems is strongly discouraged.
 The power cord to the electronic controller should be positioned to avoid a
tripping hazard and/or damage to the cord. Tridien recommends placing
the cord under the bed frame and plugging it into an electrical outlet by the
head of the bed.
