POWERX Operation

5.2 - Power-Saving Sleep Mode

The trolley will go into sleep mode after 1 minute of 'non-activity' 
on the controls. "SLEEP" will appear on the LCD when in sleep 
mode. The red LED will remain lit, indicating power is still on. 

In sleep mode the amount of power drawn from the battery 
is minimised, therefore saving battery charge. To awaken the 
trolley from sleep mode, press any of the control buttons on the 
foot-end of the trolley.

LCD showing Sleep Mode

A fully charged 5Ah battery will last up to 66 hours if left in  
sleep mode (30 hours for 3Ah battery).
However it is recommended to always switch the trolley off 
whenever it is not being used for a period of time, to preserve 
power and prevent accidental activation of the lift process.
To ensure maximum operation of the trolley from a single battery 
charge, ensure that the battery is fully charged at the beginning 
of each shift.

Press any button to awake from Sleep Mode
