TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK, BURNS, FIRE OR INJURY: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 (strongly recommended). 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. Never
operate the base when the air openings are blocked. Keep air openings
free of lint, hair and the like. Do not drop or insert any object into any
opening. Discontinue use of the bed base and contact a qualified service
center if: it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or
it has been dropped into 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, disabled persons
or pets. 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.
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.
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 Box are on the Emergency Battery Backup
page(s). CHILDREN AND PETS:Immediately dispose of all packing materials as it may pose a smothering
risk to small children and pets. To avoid injury, it is not advised to allow
children and small pets to play on or under the bed. Children should not
operate the bed base without adult supervision.
PACEMAKERS:Some products contain Neodymium MAGNETS which may interfere
with devices such as pacemakers, ICD’s and any other device sensitive
to magnetic fields. It is STRONGLY recommended that owners of such
medical devices consult their physician prior to using products that contain
Neodymium MAGNETS. It is also possible that some pacemakers may
falsely interpret the optional massage feature vibrations as movement/
exercise. This is a common occurrence with any product that creates a
vibrating movement and may aect the pacemaker. Please consult your
physician before using the massage feature.
IN-HOME USE AND HOSPITAL STANDARDS:Ergo adjustable bed bases are 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES:Casters (optional leg accessory) are equipped with locking wheels to
prevent unwanted movement. Even when locked and unable to roll, it is
possible for the casters to slide. Free release head and foot motors are
designed to lower the mattress by retracting only with gravity, never
pulling downwards, which minimizes pinch points.LIFTING/LOWERING MECHANISMS: The lift/lower feature will emit a minimal humming sound during operation.
This is normal. During operation, the lift arm wheels make contact with
