ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNINGS
A safety feature of this product includes protection against overheating caused by excessive or extended periods of
operation. Depending on the duration, this includes multiple or repeated adjustments or the use of multiple functions at
one time. To ensure trouble free operation, always allow a slight pause between multiple adjustments and avoid pressing
more than one function button at a time. If thermal protection activation should occur, the bed will not respond to pendant
commands. Given this situation, release the pendant button and allow the bed unit to sit for several minutes. This will allow
the protection function time to reset and restore bed function. Depending on severity of the initial overheating, this could
take up to 30 minutes.
Allow a slight pause between adjustments and avoid pressing multiple buttons at the same time. If pendant buttons are
depressed too rapidly or multiple buttons are pressed at the same time, the desired feature may not activate. Simply
release the pendant button, permit a slight pause and then activate the next operation.
Always unplug the bed from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
DO NOT open assemblies such as the motors, motor housing or pendant. No user serviceable parts are inside. Only
qualified technicians are permitted to repair these parts. If unqualified individuals perform any work on these beds, the
warranty is void.
DO NOT place pendant under or between objects. This may unintentionally press the buttons and may cause injury or
damage.
Electronic equipment may be influenced by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Caution should be exercised with regard to
the use of portable communications equipment in the area around such equipment. If RFI causes erratic behavior, unplug
the electric bed IMMEDIATELY. Leave unplugged while transmission is in progress.
Ensure all cables and cords are routed such that they will not become entangled or pinched. Otherwise damage or injury
may result.
If a button on the pendant sticks or does not release and/or one of the functions will not stop moving. Unplug the power
cord from the electrical supply outlet and take the bed out of service for repair.
If a liquid is spilled in or around the electric bed, unplug the electric bed before cleaning. Clean up the spill and allow the
electric bed or the area around the electric bed to dry thoroughly before using the electric controls again.
Inspect the covering of the hand pendant panel to assure that the covering is not cracked or damaged.
Keep all electrical cords away from heated or hot surfaces.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
NEVER operate this bed if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped, damaged, or
dropped into water. Return the bed to a service center for examination and repair.
On Full & Semi Electric beds, the Hi/Lo crank MUST be removed before the bed is used. Failure to remove the crank may
cause damage or personal injury.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. Grounding reliability depends upon a properly grounded wall outlet.
The pendant and power cords must be routed and secured properly to ensure that the cords DO NOT become entangled,
pinched and/or severed during operation of the electric bed.
Unplug from the outlet before servicing. Unplug the power cord from its power source before performing any maintenance
on the manual/electric bed.
Use caution when disconnecting the pendant. DO NOT press pendant buttons.
When bed is not to be used for an extended period, unplug electric bed from the wall outlet.
When using an extension cord, use an extension cord having at least 16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire and the same
or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and
electric shock.
When using nasal or masked type oxygen administering equipment, the oxygen or air tubing MUST be routed and secured
properly to ensure that the tubing does not become entangled and/or severed during normal operation of the bed.
DO NOT use Full & Semi Electric beds near explosive gases.
Possible fire hazard when used with oxygen administering equipment other than nasal or masked type.
Use masked or nasal type oxygen administering equipment only in conjunction with this bed. The use of ANY other type of
oxygen administering equipment can result in a fire hazard.
