How to Operate your Bed
We recommend that you take the time to thoroughly read this manual from the beginning to make yourself familiar with
the operations and features of your new Platinum 6 Bed. Should you have any queries after you have read this manual,
please feel free to contact our Customer Care Department on 1800 777 042 or alternatively get in contact with your
Niagara Sales Consultant. Thank you for choosing to invest in the Platinum 6 Bed.
Massage Functions
First, press the ‘Power/Timer’ button to activate the control. You will notice ‘10min’ will appear in the centre of the screen. Each
subsequent push of this button will increase the timer by a further 10 minutes, up to a maximum of 60 minutes. Once ‘60min’ is
reached, a further press of the ‘Power/Timer’ button will return the timer back to ‘10min’. Once you have selected the time you
desire, press the ‘Back Massage Increase’ button to activate the back massage motor. As you press this button you will notice
the bars on the right hand side of the screen increase with the intensity of the massage. This ‘massage intensity’ display will
remain on the screen for approximately 5 seconds before disappearing, with the massage staying set at the intensity you have
selected. Please note, the massage motors are programmed to ‘wind down’, so you do not experience a sudden ‘off’ sensation.
Next, press the ‘Leg Massage Increase’ button to activate the leg massage. Set the intensity to the setting you desire. You will
notice the bars on screen as the massage intensity is set. You will notice that the timer automatically counts down in one minute
increments, giving you the time remaining of your massage.
Massage Type
Your new Platinum 6 Bed features three types of massage for you to choose from. A brief description of each follows;
Standard Massage (STD) - this is a constant frequency, giving a steady continuous massage delivered at the level you select.
Cycloid Poly Modulation® Massage (CPM) - this Cycloid Vibration Therapy (CVT) setting delivers the therapy in a surging
motion. Again the speed and intensity can be increased and decreased at the push of a button.
Tranquilssage® Massage (T/S) - this massage type produces a slow, gentle wave action after a long tiresome day.
20
When first switching on your massage motors, the ‘Standard’ massage will be the default option. ‘STD” will not be displayed
at this point. Pressing the ‘Massage Type’ button will toggle between the three types of massage described above (in the order
described above). Simply press the ‘Massage Type’ button until you have selected the massage you prefer at that time.
To turn the massage function OFF before the automatic timer has expired, simply press and hold the ‘Power/Timer’ button for
approximately three seconds, or until the screen switches off.
Lift Functions
To Raise the Back of the bed - simply press and hold the ‘Back Raise’ button on the remote. Release the button and the bed
will stop in that position.
To Lower the Back of the bed - simply press and hold the ‘Back Lower’ button on the remote. Release the button and the
bed will stop in that position.
To Raise the Leg section of the bed - simply press and hold the ‘Leg Raise’ button on the remote. Release the button and the
bed will stop in that position.
To Lower the Leg section of the bed - simply press and hold the ‘Leg Lower’ button on the remote. Release the button and
the bed will stop in that position.
You do not need to activate the ‘Power/Timer’ button in order to raise or lower the Bed. The ‘Power/Timer’ button only needs
to be activated to use the massage functions.

Other Features
Preset ‘Favourite’ Positions - the Platinum 6 Bed has a special feature that allows you to program up to two of your favourite
positions into the bed’s memory. Once set up, all you need to do is switch the remote on by pressing the ‘Power/Timer’ button
once, and then pressing one of the two ‘Favourite Position’ buttons. The bed will then automatically adjust to your chosen
settings, including the head and leg positions, the massage intensity, massage type and the length of time on the timer.
For your ease, we have marked the buttons on your control as a ‘Favourite Sleeping Position’ and a ‘Favourite Reading Position’.
Please note that these buttons need to be set-up prior to their use. To set-up your two Favourite Positions, please follow this
procedure:
On Installation Only
1. Lower both the back and leg positions to the lower/flat level position. Once the bed has reached the flat/level position, please
hold each of the ‘lower’ buttons (one at a time) for a further 6 seconds.
To Change your Favourite Position
1.
Raise the Back section to your desired position.
2.
Then raise the Leg section to your desired position.
3.
Press the ‘Power/Timer’ button until you reach your desired time.
4.
Adjust massage intensity for the Head and Leg massage motors using ‘Back Massage Increase’ and ‘Leg Massage Increase’ buttons, until you reach your desired massage levels.
5. Select the type of massage you wish to save by pressing the ‘Massage Type’ button.
6.
Press the ‘Lamp’ button.
7.
Press the preferred ‘Favourite Reading Position’ button or ‘Favourite Sleeping Position’ button until the screen flashes NOTE: This must be completed within five seconds of pressing the ‘Lamp’ button.
The ‘Favourite Positions’ button is now stored. To alter and save new position, repeat steps 1-7.
You will need to follow this procedure to set up both of the ‘Favourite Positions’ buttons. Should you wish to change a ‘Favourite
position’ setting you have already stored, simply repeat the procedure above and this will save your new ‘Favourite Position’
over the previous.
24
Lamp - when the remote is switched on, any press of a button will illuminate the screen (except for raising and lowering the head
and leg sections). In addition to this, the ‘Lamp’ button when pressed will illuminate the screen for approximately 10 seconds
(can be used when the remote is switched off).
Child Lock - for your safety the control is fitted with a Child Lock, to stop any unwanted use of the bed. Please note that you
can only activate the Child Lock when the remote is switched off (the position of the bed does not matter). Remember, if
you have two remotes ensure both are locked if children are present.
To activate the Child Lock - press and hold the ‘Lamp’ button, then simultaneously press the ‘Leg Raise’ button. The Child Lock
is indicated by a ‘key’ displayed on the screen.
To deactivate the Child Lock - press and hold the ‘Power/Timer’ button for approx 5 seconds, or until the remote switches on.
The Child Lock is now deactivated and the ‘key’ image will be removed from the LCD screen.
Battery Back-Up - your Platinum 6 Bed features a Battery Back-Up system that allows you to reposition the bed in the event of
a mains power loss.
NOTE: The massage motors will not work without mains power. Upon resumption of mains power supply the battery back up is
automatically recharged.
Once mains power is restored you can resume normal operation of the bed. Your favourite preset positions will remain programmed.
However, if necessary to re-set your ‘Favourite’ preset positions you will need to recalibrate your bed by resetting the head and
leg lift motors on the bed. Please follow this procedure;
1.
Raise the back of the bed slightly.
2.
Next lower the Back to the flat/level position and then keep the ‘Back Lower’ button depressed for a further 6 seconds.
3.
Repeat this same sequence for the Leg section of the bed (do this one section at a time, do not try to do both at once).
Failure to follow this procedure exactly as stated above, will result in your preset ‘Favourite Positions’ not functioning correctly.
If required, only use an Authorised Installer to change the back-up battery, located within the stainless steel casing of the
Platinum 6 bed control module.
25
Safety Features
In the event of the remote being removed from the room/area the bed is in (out of range), the bed will automatically shut down
as a safety precaution.
When the bed is adjusting to one of your preset ‘Favourite Positions’, a single press of the ‘Power/Timer’ button will stop the bed
completely, or one press of any ‘Raise’ or ‘Lower’ button will stop the Lift Motors only.
In addition to the above safety features, the Platinum 6 Bed also has an integrated upholstered surround, to reduce the risk of
anything becoming caught in the frame. The frame has been designed to reduce scissor points and the risk of injury. Always
ensure there are no foreign objects, children or pets under your bed before lowering either the back or leg sections.
Trouble Shooting
Remote Signal Problems
Your Platinum 6 Bed features a cordless RF Remote Control. Please note that the antenna for the remote is located in the lower
left hand edge (when looking at the front of the control). If you cover this area of the remote with your hand, the signal strength
will be reduced and you may experience some difficulties in operation.
The antenna range is variable depending on the individual characteristics of the room. The remote is designed for use whilst in
the bed, so best operation is achieved within a 1 metre radius from the edge of the bed. The remote should be held away from
the body for optimal signal strength.
When a low signal strength is received, this is signified by the display of the ‘Antenna’ symbol on the display. Simply move the
remote closer to the bed, and/or adjust the way you are holding the remote.
In the event of the remote being removed from the room/area the bed is in (out of range), the Bed will automatically shut down
as a safety precaution. To ensure hassle free operation, DO NOT store the remote closer than 30cm to a cordless phone.
26
Low Remote Battery
When at full power, the battery icon will not display. As the batteries go flat, the battery icon will appear. As the batteries continue
to drain, the battery icon will change so that only the outline is displayed. We recommend changing batteries at this point. Do
not use rechargeable batteries.
Failure to change the remote batteries will cause the batteries to become completely drained. At this point the remote will
automatically switch off and the outline of the battery will flash. The batteries must be replaced at this point. Please use two
standard AA size batteries (NOT rechargeable batteries).
Lost Remote
In the event of a lost or damaged remote, we can supply a replacement control. Contact the Warranty/Service Department on
Free Call 1800 240 298 to arrange a replacement remote. New Zealand customers call 0800 735 433.
When Should I Unplug My Bed?
Under normal circumstances the mains power should be left switched on at the wall. Only during electrical storms or extended
periods without use, do we recommend that the bed be unplugged from the wall.
Do I Need to Turn My Mattress?
The P6 Pillow Top Mattress are a one sided design. You do not need to turn it over. Please note, the mattress can be rotated.

How to Operate your Chair
Thermo Heating System
The Thermo Heating System delivers comfort to your lower back and legs at the push of a button by two thermostatically
controlled heat pads. The heat can be activated on its own or in conjunction with the CVT massage.
Niagara’s Unique Rollassage™ System
Rollassage™ is a system of rollers that are strategically placed either side of the spinal column that traverse from the lower back
to the shoulders delivering a relaxing massage that may reduce muscle pain. The rollers can be stopped in any location by a push
of a button to isolate a troublesome ache or a pain.
Massage Type
There are 3 massage patterns that deliver Niagara’s CVT.
Standard - (STD) - This CVT setting delivers the therapy with a constant massage action where the speed and intensity of the
treatment can be increased or decreased at the push of a button.
Cycloid Poly Modulation (CPM) - This CVT setting delivers the therapy in a surging motion. CPM may reduce excess fluid.
Again the speed and intensity can be increased or decreased at the push of a button.
Tranquilssage (T/S) - This CVT setting delivers the therapy in a slow rhythmic wave motion. T/S may provide relaxation.
Automatic Lift and Lower Feature - This optional feature has been designed for those who need assistance getting in and out
of a chair. With this feature installed you need not struggle again with this safe and stable automatic lift and lower feature.
Battery Back-Up - Both modes are fitted with a battery back-up system which enables you to restore your Chair to your
preferred sitting position in the unfortunate occurrence of a mains power outage.

Enjoy the increased Therapy from the combination of the Rollassage™
and Cycloid Therapy traversing from your lower back right up to your

How to Operate your Thermo Cyclopad
Powering Up
• Press the Power Switch to turn the device on. The first Timer Indicator LED will be illuminated indicating that the timer is set
to ten minutes.
• By pressing the Timer Switch Up once, the time will be increased by ten minutes and the next LED will be illuminated. Each
press of this switch will increase the time by ten minutes to a maximum of one hour.
• By pressing the Timer Switch Down once, the time will be decreased by ten minutes and the top LED will be extinguished.
Each press of the switch will decrease the time by ten minutes until the device is switched off.
• By pressing the Massage Mode Switch the mode of massage can be varied from Standard to Tranquilssage (T/S) or Cycloid
Poly Modulation (CPM).
• Unless the device has been left switched off with preset massage positions, pressing the massage Mode Switch will switch
the device on in the Standard mode.
• By pressing the Intensity Switch, the intensity of the cycloid vibration therapy can be increased and decreased.
• If the device switches off by running the timer to zero, the mode and massage intensity settings will be saved. Therefore the

need to be switched on when required.
• The Remote Signal Strength LED will flash if the communication between the Remote Control and the Thermo Cyclopad is
poor. If communication is lost completely, after 2 minutes both the Remote Control and the Thermo Cyclopad will switch off
automatically.
• The Low Battery LED will flash when the Remote Control batteries need replacing. This LED will only flash when the Thermo
Cyclopad is running (on), and will not work when the batteries are completely exhausted.
• To turn the Thermo Cyclopad off before the timer has reached zero, simply press the Power Switch once.

Fairyland Centres
Niagara employees donate time and money to create unique
oversized toys to ensure children with special needs have
access to built in Cycloid Action Therapy. The children get
help from the range of Niagara’s proven claims whilst having
fun.
64
The first Fairyland Centre in Pennsylvania, USA started in
1954 and was a massive success helping children with
special needs.
The first realistic opportunity to create a Fairyland Centre
in Australia came in Victoria in 2008 at the Latrobe Special
Developmental School, in Traralgon.
A second Fairyland Centre was launched at the Kuraby
Special School in Brisbane in late 2011. A third Fairyland
Centre was opened at the Sir Keith Park Special School in
Auckland, New Zealand in February 2012.

Intended Use
1.
Intended Use
Applies to All Devices
This low voltage device provides a therapeutic massage; this type of therapy is called cycloid vibration therapy (CVT). This device
reduces interstitial oedema fluid whether the cause is lymphatic or vascular, may increase local area blood flow and may assist
in the reduction of musculoskeletal pain. The device may assist in the treatment of wounds, cellulitis and pressure ulcers where
an improvement in local circulation is a factor and may also increase joint mobilisation.
2.Contraindications
Lymphoedema Treatment
The following general contraindications may cause complications to lymphoedema treatment for the following individuals:
• Those who suffer from acute inflammatory episodes such as cellulitis, erysipelas, influenza or active tuberculosis.
• Those with acute thrombosis.
• Those with cardiac insufficiency, superior vena cava obstruction, chronic inflammation, asthma, thyroid dysfunction and
history of thrombosis.
• Those with advanced cancer.
• Those whose lymph nodes have not been cleared prior to device use.
• It should also be noted that individuals with complex aetiology including cutaneous tumour infiltration, occlusion of venous
blood flow resulting from deep abdominal or pelvis tumours, ascites and untreated hypoalbuminaemia may receive poor
response to these techniques
Chair and the Thermo Cyclopad only
• The heater function should be used with caution in patients with diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, poor circulation, spinal
cord injuries, and rheumatoid arthritis because it may cause disease progression, burns, skin ulceration, and increased
inflammation.
• The heater application time should be restricted as infections of the skin, urinary tract, and pulmonary system have been
associated with the use of heating modalities at a high intensity level.
