safety precautions and usage statements
Attention: Important Safety Disclaimers
Read the following information before using this product. Failure to use a surge protection device could
compromise safety or cause product malfunction and could void the electrical portion of your warranty.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK, BURNS, FIRE OR INJURY:
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). 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 off, 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, disabled persons or pets. 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.
SAFETY FEATURES:
Manual operation – If something gets caught in the platform when flattened,
you can manually raise the platform up by lifting at both the head and foot to
relieve pressure and allow for release.
Emergency stop – Stop the motion of the platform by pressing any button on
the remote control.
Power outage – Use the "Emergency Battery Backup Strap" as a temporary
power source to get the base to a desired position. Instructions on how to
operate the Battery Backup Box are on the Emergency Battery Backup page(s).
CHILDREN AND PETS:
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.
PACEMAKERS:
Some products contain 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 products that contain Neodymium MAGNETS. It is also
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 affect the pacemaker.
Please consult your physician before using the massage feature.
IN-HOME USE AND HOSPITAL STANDARDS:
Ergo 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
