To reduce the risk of shock, burns, re 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 at 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 qualied 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 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 re
or faulty operation of this bed base. If the plug does not t your
outlet, contact a qualied electrician to install a suitable outlet.
Unauthorized modication 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. For complete warranty information visit www.
ergomotion.us or refer to the warranty card included with the
base.
In-Home Use and Hospital Disclaimer:
Ergomotion 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.
Pets and Small Children:
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.
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.

Product Ratings:
The lift motors are not designed to operate continuously
for more than [2] minutes in an [18] minute time period or
approximately 10% duty cycle. Attempting to circumvent
or exceed this rating will shorten the life expectancy of the
product and may void the warranty.
Weight Limits:
This product is not rated to support weights exceeding 650
pounds. This product is not rated to support weights in excess
of 650 pounds inclusive of the mattress and bedding. The
base will structurally support this weight, provided it is evenly
distributed across the bed base. The adjustable base is not
designed to support or lift this amount in the head or foot
sections alone. Exceeding this weight restriction could damage
the bed and/or cause injury and will void the warranty.
Acoustics:
In normal base operation, the wheels which allow the bed to
maintain its distance from the wall, will make contact with
the steel platform supports of the base creating a contact
noise. When entering, exiting or shifting weight on the base,
this contact noise may be audible as the wheels make
contact. This is normal.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
