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.
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.
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.
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 Strap are on the Emergency Battery Backup page(s).
Child-lockout – This remote control is programmed with a child-lock safety
feature. Information on activation and deactivation of this feature can be found
on the Remote Control page(s) and on the back of your remote control.
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 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
