at least 24 hours. If you have purchased an
extra battery put that battery on charge
when the first battery starts being used.
• If the EZ1000 is used daily, charge the
battery for at least 8 hours.
• If the EZ1000 is used intermittently during a
week, charge the battery 1-2 times per week,
for at least 8 hours each time.
• Ideally if a battery is not in use, it should
always be plugged into the charger. The
battery pack cannot be overcharged.
• If the EZ1000 is only used occasionally the
battery shall be put on charge after each use
and for at least 24 hours. The battery cannot
be overcharged.
• If the shower chair shall be stored put the
battery on charge until it will be used again
or charge the battery once per month and for
at least 24 hours each time.
• Batteries in storage not being charged every
month will eventually lose their ability to
hold a charge.
Press the ON button for 1-2 seconds to start the
battery. Press the OFF button for 3-4 seconds to
turn it off.
When you disconnect the battery and battery
charger from the mains, a beep will be heard,
and an orange light will flash for a couple of
