Troubleshooting 

If the problem keeps occurring, please contact Care of Sweden or your local distributor. 

 

 

     Problem 

           Solution 

The control unit 

does not start 

Check that the power supply has been connected to the mains supply. 

Check that the LED on the power supply is showing green. 

The user is 

‘bottoming out’ 

CuroCell® M4: 

Restart the control unit. See section 4.11. 

Perform a further hand check (see section 4.6). If the gap is still too small, 

raise the comfort setting in stages, be careful not to raise the setting too 

high. 

 

CuroCell® A4: 

Restart the control unit. See section 5.11. The control unit will initiate an 

automatic setting. Wait until the automatic setting is complete. 

Perform a further hand check (see section 5.6). 

 

CuroCell® IQ: 

Restart the control unit. See section 6.9. The control unit will initiate an 

automatic setting. Wait until the automatic setting is complete. 

Perform a further hand check (see section 6.4).

 

 

The mattress 

moves around 

Check that the mattress is fastened to the bed frame with the straps 

underneath (two at the head end and two on each of the long sides). 

Some cells have 

less air 

This is normal with a Pulsating or Alternating mode, as the air supply 

switches between alternating cells for a predetermined cycle period (one 

cycle = 10–25 minutes). 

The control unit 

makes a noise; 

vibrations can be 

felt 

Check how the control unit is hanging on the bed. Resonance can occur, in 

parts of the bed. Remove the control unit and listen to find out if this 

vibrations makes a difference. The problem may be resolved by putting 

the control unit on a flat, steady surface or by placing a towel between the 

control unit and bed.
