safety precautions and usage statements
For optimal safety and operation, plug bed base into a surge protector
(not included) . The bed base should only be plugged directly into a
grounded wall outlet or surge protector (strongly recommended) . Improper
connection of the equipment can result in the risk of electrical shock,
electrical file or faulty operation of this bed base . If the plug does not fit
your outlet, contact a qualified Electrician to install a suitable outlet .
IN-HOME USE AND HOSPITAL STANDARDS:
Ergomotion 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 .
ADDITIONAL 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 .
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 contact may result in metal on metal or metal on plastic
contact . 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

WARNING
ACOUSTICS
position . 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 .
MATERIALS
Ergomotion adjustable bases are constructed from various materials including
woods, metals, plastics and fabrics . Tension, pressure or movement applied to
the frame, platform or shroud through general use may create an audible sound .
MASSAGE OPERATION AND LOCATION ENVIRONMENT
The massage feature will emit a tone during operation . This is normal . 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 . 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 exterior bed frame, headboard brackets, headboards or footboards if
mounting bolts are not firmly tightened .
Levels 1-6 of massage intensity represent the revolutions of the motor per
minute . Level 6 provides the maximum number of RPMs . However, this does not
mean that the feeling of vibration is the strongest . Depending on the mattress
material, thickness, and positioning of the user, the feeling of vibrations will differ .
We encourage the user to find the massage intensity setting that suits them best .
It is important to understand the physics of vibrations . Just as an engine may run
rough during idle, as the RPMs increase, the vibrations change concurrently .
