family member or healthcare professional specially trained in assisting you with performing various
daily living activities while safely operating a power lift recliner.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an adverse
effect on the performance of electrically-powered devices, such as power lift recliners.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones,
mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM)
transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range
mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended
movement or damage to the control system of electrically-powered devices. The power lift recliner user
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable
and mobile RF communications equipment. It is recommended that at least 3 metres (9 feet) of distance
be maintained between the power lift recliner and any handheld equipment emitting 10 W or more of
output power. Refer to the manufacturer’s literature for the handheld device to determine the maximum
output of that device.
Every electrically-powered device has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI.The higher the immunity level,
the greater the protection against EMI. Per EMC standards, this product has passed immunity testing
and is rated as a Group 1, Class B product, meaning the power lift recliner uses RF energy only for its
internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference
in nearby electronic equipment, making the power lift recliner suitable for use in all establishments,
including domestic establishments and hospitals.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types of radio transmitters may cause
unintended movement of your electrically-powered device due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of
these items while operating your power lift recliner.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the power lift recliner can increase the susceptibility
of the chair to EMI. Do not modify your power lift recliner in any way not authorised by Pride.
WARNING! Your power lift recliner itself can disturb the performance of other electrical devices located nearby,
such as alarm systems.
NOTE: If unintended motion occurs, discontinue use of the power lift recliner. Contact Pride to
report the incident.
Shipping and Delivery
Before using your power lift recliner, make sure your delivery is complete as some components may be
individually packaged. If you do not receive a complete delivery, please contact your authorised Pride
Provider immediately.Where damage has occurred during transport, either to the packaging or content,
please contact the delivery company responsible.
Motor Vehicle Transport
If you will be transporting your power lift recliner in a motor vehicle, individual components (external
transformer, etc.) should be secured against slipping. The power lift recliner itself must also be secured
against slipping (a possible hazard during vehicle braking).

recliner. The transformer may be equipped with an LED indicator, which shows green when the power
to the transformer is on.
The external transformer may also come equipped with mounting brackets that allow the transformer to
be mounted to the wall directly under the standard electrical outlet.The screws must be mounted to the
wall stud for security. Refer to “Appendix B” for a mounting diagram.
