IMPORTANT INFORMATION
READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
ELECTRICAL RATING
Input - 100-240V, 50/60Hz, 1.5A; Output - 29VDC,
5.0A.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
This product is equipped with a polarized or
grounded electrical power cord. The power cord will
only fit into a grounded, electrical surge protection
device (not included) or a grounded electrical outlet.
WARRANTY WARNING
Do not open any control boxes, motors or remote
control devices (with the exception of the remote
control and power down box battery compartments).
The product warranty will be void if these
components are tampered with. Do not attempt
to alter component wiring or adjust or modify the
structure of the product in any way or the warranty
will be void. Any repair or replacement of base parts
must be performed by authorized personnel.
LUBRICATION
This product is designed to be maintenance free.
The lift motors are permanently lubricated and
sealed—no additional lubrication is required. Do not
apply lubricant to lift motor lead screws or any nylon
nuts or the base may inadvertently creep downward
from the elevated position.
PRODUCT RATINGS
The base lift motors are not designed for continuous
use. Reliable operation and full life expectancy
will be realized as long as the lift motor operation
does not exceed five (5) minutes over a fifty (50)
minute period, or approximately 10% duty cycle.
Note: Massage equipped bases are not designed for
continuous, extended massage operation. Massage
systems are rated for a maximum of 2 hours of use
within any 6 hour period. Any attempt to circumvent
or exceed product ratings will shorten the life
expectancy of the product and may void the warranty.
The recommended maximum weight (including
mattress) is 700 lb (317 kg) distributed evenly
across the base. This product is not designed to
support or lift this amount in the head or foot
sections alone. Note: Exceeding the recommended
weight restrictions could damage the base and void
the warranty.
For best performance, consumers should enter and
exit the adjustable base with the base in the flat
(horizontal) position. Avoid placing entire weight on
head or foot section of the base, including when in
the raised position. DO NOT STAND ON BASE AT
ANY TIME.
UL (Underwriters Laboratories) recognized
components.
CFR 1633 approved for use with most mattresses.
Assembled in USA.
ADVISORY
FOR OPTIMUM ADJUSTABLE BASE
OPERATION, USE A GROUNDED, ELECTRICAL
SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE (NOT
INCLUDED). FAILURE TO USE A SURGE
PROTECTION DEVICE COULD COMPROMISE
SAFETY OR CAUSE PRODUCT MALFUNCTION.
WARNINGWARNING
SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
Service technicians are not responsible for moving
furniture, removing headboards and footboards
or any items required to perform maintenance on
the base. In the event the technician is unable to
perform service due to lack of accessibility, the
service call will be billed to the purchaser and the
service will have to be rescheduled.
SMALL CHILDREN / PETS WARNING
After the base is unboxed, immediately dispose of
packaging material as it can smother small children
and pets. To avoid injury, children or pets should not
be allowed to play under or on the base. Children
should not operate this base without adult supervision.

ADVISORY
READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PACEMAKER WARNING
This product produces a vibrating sensation.
It is possible that individuals with heart-assist
pacemakers may experience a sensation similar to
exercise. Consult physician for complete information.
HOSPITAL USE DISCLAIMER
This base is designed for in-home use only. It is
not approved for hospital use and does not comply
with hospital standards. Do not use this base with
tent type oxygen therapy equipment, or use near
explosive gases.
FCC COMPLIANCE
The equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a
residential environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following 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.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.
Radio Frequency = 433MHz.
PINCH POINT WARNING
DURING BASE OPERATION, GAPS (PINCH
POINTS) ARE CREATED (ARROWS IN FIGURE
1). A CHILD, A PERSON’S LIMB, OR A
PET CAN BECOME ENTRAPPED AT THESE
LOCATIONS. DURING USE, AND WHEN BASE
IS IN THE RAISED POSITION, ALWAYS KEEP
GAP AREAS (PINCH POINTS) CLEAR AND
KEEP ALL LIMBS ON TOP OF BASE. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

ACOUSTICS
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 the platform support of the base. This applies
slight tension on the moving components and
resonance is reduced to a minimum level. If
excessive noise or vibration is experienced, reverse
the movement action (up or down) of the base with
the remote control. This should realign the base’s
activating mechanisms to the proper operational
position.
MASSAGE OPERATION
The massage feature will emit a minimal tone
during operation. This is normal. When the
massage level is increased, motor resonance will
intensify accordingly.
LOCATION ENVIRONMENT
The level of sound experienced during operation
is directly related to the location environment. For
example, when a base is located on a hardwood
floor with the massage feature in operation, a
vibrating tone will be audible. To minimize this
resonance, place a piece of carpet, or rubber
caster cups, under each leg or caster of the base.
It is possible to experience vibration or noise from
the headboard brackets, headboards or footboards
if mounting bolts are not firmly tightened.
FABRIC CLEANING INFORMATION
Spot clean only with water based shampoo
or foam upholstery cleaner. Pretest a small,
inconspicuous area before proceeding. Do not
over wet. Do not use solvents to spot clean.
Pile fabrics may require brushing with a non-
metallic, stiff bristle brush to restore appearance.
Hot water extraction or steam cleaning is not a
recommended cleaning method.
To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming
or light brushing with a non-metallic stiff bristle
brush to remove dust and grime is recommended.
When cleaning a spill, blot immediately to remove
spilled material. Clean spots or stains from the
outside to the middle of the affected area to
prevent circling. Use a professional furniture
cleaning service when an overall soiled condition
is apparent.
