the raised area of the middle toggle switch. When you have
reached your desired position, simply release the button to
stop the backrest in any position. To close, press the rear area
of the same toggle switch.

will close the footrest and return the backrest to
the full upright position.
The Comfort Recliner™
headrest adjusts to provide
back and neck support. The
headrest articulates forward
to create the perfect angle
for watching television
or reading a book. When
standing behind the
power Comfort Recliner™,
you can change the angle by
pressing forward on the outside of the headrest. However, if
you are already sitting and want to adjust the angle, place
both hands on the back of the headrest and pull forward to
your desired position. To return the articulating headrest to
its normal position, simply push back with your hands.

The purchase of the optional battery for use in the power
Comfort Recliner™ allows the power Comfort Recliner™ to
be operated either with the cord plugged into the wall, or
with battery power only. This allows you to float the power
Comfort Recliner™ in the room without cords attached.
Battery Life:
The optional battery is a 1.8 Amp hour Lithium Ion (1.8
A/h Li-ion) battery in a fully enclosed case. The minimum
life expectancy of the battery is 500 complete charge/
discharge cycles.
A fully charged battery will provide about 100 complete
open/close cycles before it needs to be recharged.
When the battery needs charging the power Comfort
Recliner™ will begin to operate more slowly, indicating the
battery is running out. If the battery gets to about 10% of
capacity, a beeping tone will sound when any of the control
buttons are pressed, indicating that the power Comfort
Recliner™ needs to be recharged immediately.
Please note that for optimal battery life, the battery should
not be used to its capacity, or used until the power Comfort
Recliner™ stops working. It is recommended that the
battery be charged once per month if it is not going to be
used for an extended period of time.
OPTIONAL BATTERY POWER

Battery Recharging:
To recharge the battery in the power Comfort Recliner™,
plug the cord from the power supply into the power socket
at the rear of the power
Comfort Recliner™ and
then plug the power
supply into an electrical
outlet as shown
in (Figure 4).
The power system has an
automatic power selector
system that chooses battery power or power from the wall
outlet, depending on whether the power Comfort Recliner™
is plugged in or not.
If the power Comfort Recliner™ is plugged in for recharging,
the automatic power selector system will provide power
to charge the battery and operate the power Comfort
Recliner™ at the same time.
If the cord is plugged into the power Comfort Recliner™
continuously, the system will not overcharge the battery.
The charging time for the battery is about eight hours.
To determine if the battery is done charging, open the
footrest and look under the power Comfort Recliner™
footrest at the battery. The LED light on the battery will be
a solid GREEN if it is fully charged and flashing AMBER if it
is still charging.
