Attention: Important Safety Disclaimers
Read all instructions before using your adjustable base
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
To reduce the risk of shock, burns, fire or injury:
Always unplug the base from the electrical outlet before servicing any part of the
base. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the base before cleaning. To safely
disconnect, ensure the base is in a flat position with all motors off, and unplug
from power source. Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
Discontinue use of the bed base and contact a qualified service center if: it has a
damaged cord or plug, it is not working properly, or it has been exposed to water.
Only use this bed base for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not
use accessories/attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer.
Close supervision is required when the bed base is used by or near children,
convalescents or disabled persons.
Outlet Safety:
For optimal safety and operation, plug bed base into a surge protector (not
included). The bed base should only be plugged directly into a wall outlet or
surge protector (recommended). Improper connection of the equipment can
result in the risk of electrical shock, electrical fire or faulty operation of this bed
base. If the plug does not fit your outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install a
suitable outlet. Unauthorized modification or failure to use a wall outlet or surge
protector could void the electrical portion of your warranty.
Warranty Warning:
Do not open or tamper with control box, motors, or remote (with the exception of
battery compartments). The warranty will be void if the internal workings of these
components are tampered with.
In-Home Use and Hospital Disclaimer:
The Adjustable base is designed solely for in-home use. This base was not
designed as a hospital bed and is not designed to meet hospital standards. Do
not use this base with TENT TYPE oxygen therapy equipment or near explosive
gases.
Children and Pets:
Children and pets can be crushed or killed if they become entrapped in moving
parts of the bed. Before you reposition the base, check to be sure children and
pets are not near or under the base. Do not teach children to operate the remote.
Engage child lockout on the remote before leaving the room. Store the remote
where children can't find it. Children should not operate this product without adult
supervision. To avoid injury, children and pets should not be allowed to play on or
under the bed.
Immediately dispose of all packaging materials as they may pose a smothering
risk to children and pets.
Safety Features:
Manual operation – If something gets caught in the platform when flattened, you
can manually raise the platform up by lifting at both the head and foot to relieve
pressure and allow for release.
Child-lockout – This remote control is programmed with a child-lock safety
feature. Information on activation and deactivation of this feature can be found
on the Remote Control page(s) or on the back of your remote control.
Emergency stop – Stop the motion of the platform by pressing any button on the
remote control.
Power outage – Use the "Emergency Battery Backup Strap" as a temporary
power source to get the base to a desired position. Instructions on how to
operate the Battery Backup Strap are on the Emergency Battery Backup page(s).
Additional Safety Features:
Free-release head and foot motors are designed to lower the mattress by
retracting only with gravity, never pulling downwards, which minimizes pinch
points. The remote control is programmed with a child lock feature. More
