**Note: as the seating system is tilted/reclined, the back angle (degrees) will be
indicated in the upper right corner of the display screen for reference.
IMPORTANT!
1Note: When adjusting the Max_Angle on a Tilt/Recline or Recline Only system:
The default Max_Angle setting may vary from system to system and is pre-set at the factory. The Max_Angl limit
should only be adjusted if the maximum angle needs to be decreased from the current factory set-up.
Programming Instructions:
i. To set the Max Recline angle, the display (angle indicator) must be switched to ‘Recline’ mode by pressing the
left & right arrows simultaneously (A)- the display will change to show the recline angle (range= 90°-168°).
ii. Proceed to step 3. above.

HOME 3
IMPORTANT! When adjusting/programming the Tipsy Sensor, please note that the Home, Reduce,
DLO and Max-Angle limits are contiguous. Each limit/angle must be set to a greater or equal
angle than the previous.
IMPORTANT! Ensure seating system is on a level surface in the full
upright position prior to programming the tipsy.
WARNING! Risk of system damage, personal injury or death
The angle at which limits are set is critical to the safe operation of the power positioning system.
Motion Concepts will not be liable for any injuries or damage sustained when adjustments are
made beyond the factory recommended settings.
