safety precautions and usage statements
Attention: Important Safety Disclaimers
Read all instructions before using your adjustable base. Save these instructions.
To reduce the risk of shock, burns, fire 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 flat
position with all motors o, 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 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 (strongly recommended). 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.
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 refer to the warranty card included
with the base.
In-Home Use and Hospital Disclaimer:
Limber Bed 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.
Pacemaker Notice:
This product contains 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 this product.
It is 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 not aect the pacemaker. Please consult your physician before
using the massage feature.
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 precautions and usage statements

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 850 pounds.
This product is not rated to support weights in excess of 850 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:
The massage function will emit a noticeable tone during operation.
As the massage intensity level is increased, the tone will intensify. The
volume of this tone is directly related to the location environment.
For example, when demonstrated in a show room, the surrounding
environmental noise will cover some of the massage noise. However,
when installed in a home setting with wooden floors, carpeted or not,
the massage volume will be more noticeable.
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.
Fabric Care:
To prolong the life of your fabric, protect from direct sunlight
whenever possible. For spot cleaning, wipe area with a light damp
sponge or vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove particles.
Keep at a minimum of 30cm (12 inches) away from direct heat sources.
For deeper cleaning, blot liquid spills with a clean dry cloth. Wipe with
a clean cloth dampened with warm water. Do not wet excessively.
A soft bristle brush may be used to remove ingrained soil. Avoid
scratching by gentle brushing. Wipe with a clean cloth dampened with
warm water to remove residues. Dry in shade away from direct heat.
If persistent marks remain visible after cleaning, seek professional
advice.
FCC Compliance:
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.
To comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements, no change to
the antenna or the device is permitted. Any change to the antenna
or the device could result in the device exceeding the RF exposure
requirement and void user’s right to operate the device.
Radio Frequency: 2.4 GHz

STEP 3
a.) Align the hole in the bracket to the brass sleeve into which the
leg threads. Hold the bracket in place and screw the leg into the
base until it is snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Too much force
may cause the leg to spin freely.
b) Align the tab with the hole in the frame (located towards the
foot of the base) and use a short bolt and nut to secure the
bracket. Make sure the bolt is tight.
Attach the plastic spacer and T-Bracket.
a.) Measure the distance between the mounting holes on the
headboard and install the spacer and attachment plate to
accommodate the headboard.
b.) To install the plastic spacer and attachment plate, you will need
(2) long bolts and (2) nuts. Place the spacer and attachment
plate in the desired location and slip the bolts through the holes
with the head of the bolt facing outward. Position the bolts
diagonally on the spacer. Use the 9/16” socket and wrench to
