Battery operation and charging
The Configura Advance electric version has a
rechargeable battery fitted to power the electric
functions.
When a handset button is pressed, the relevant
function will operate.
If a warning beep sounds when any handset button is
pressed, the battery may be low on charge and must
be recharged as soon as possible.
Please see Section 16 Troubleshooting if the chair does
not operate as expected.
The charging lead is in two sections. The short section
plugs into the control box, and the long section plugs
into a mains socket.
The two sections are connected by an inline plug and
socket. To charge the Configura Advance:
1.
Ensure the round connector is plugged into the
control box on the back of the chair.
2.
Ensure the two sections of the charging lead are
connected securely.
3.
Plug the mains plug into a mains socket.
Ensure that the charging lead does not create a trip
hazard, and do not move the chair while the battery is
being charged.
If the chair is moved inadvertently and the charging
lead is stretched, the two sections may come apart
from each other. Move the chair nearer to the mains
socket and reconnect the two sections of the charging
lead.
We recommend that the battery is charged weekly. If
the chair functions are used a lot, then it should be
charged daily.
When charging is complete, disconnect the long
charging lead at the inline connector and store the
lead away from the chair.
The battery box and control box are on the rear of the
backrest. There are two warning lights as shown in
Figure 32.
