Accupak Rechargeable  

Battery System 

(Optional Accessory)

 

8

Please read these instructions if you have purchased an Accupak rechargeable battery system  
for mains free usage. 

Components received on delivery / Set up

  

The Accupak battery

 will be fitted out of sight on the base of the chair and the charging  

outlet built into the side of the chair for ease of access.

  

The Transformer and power cables

 which enable the battery to be initially charged /  

recharged will normally be connected to the chair when it is initially set up.  

 

 The handset user instructions

 which can be found on page 15.

 

 Only use the equipment supplied with the Accupak

.

Operation and charging 

•  

When the chair is received the battery 

MUST BE FULLY CHARGED 

before usage. It is  

recommended that the battery is

 CHARGED FOR AT LEAST 8 HOURS

.

•  

The battery

 SHOULD BE OPERATED 

at normal room temperatures and never in damp  

environments.

•  

The battery provides an average of up to 100 adjustment cycles.

•  

The plug-in

 CONNECTIONS ARE ACCESSIBLE 

so that the system can be switched off in  

an emergency.

•  

The Transformer must 

ALWAYS 

lie flat on the floor. 

•  

The Accupak has an audible acoustic warning signal which is activated when the handset controls  

are used and the battery is low and requires recharging. The system still remains activated and 
emergency adjustment is possible, but please charge immediately. The battery also has an overall 
switch off threshold should you continue to operate the chair when the acoustic warning is  
sounding.  This prevents deep discharge of the battery and permanent damage to it.

•  DO NOT 

let the battery completely discharge as this will stop it from being fully charged again.   

If the battery is left to completely discharge it may have to be replaced and this is 

not  

covered under the warranty

.

•  

It is

 RECOMMENDED 

that the battery is charged regularly overnight to prevent complete  

discharge.

•  

The chair may be used and operated whilst it is being charged, but 

DO NOT

 move the chair  

about when it is plugged in.

•  

The electrical components are designed to be used for

 NO

 

LONGER

 than 2 minutes continuous  

movement in any period of 20 minutes. (See Usage time on page 18).

•  

Rechargeable batteries, by their nature, have limited lifespans and are characterised by gradual  

power loss over time. This normal depreciation and continual power loss is

 not covered under 

the warranty

.
