Backup Battery
Each Flexabed power supply is equipped to supply emergency bed lowering capa-
bility via battery power. Emergency battery power is optional—the bed will function
properly with or without batteries in the power supply. Your bed’s power supply is
mounted to the head platform section underneath the bed. The only time it is nec-
essary to remove the power supply from the bed is when you need to access the
battery compartment to change the 9 volt batteries or to replace the power supply
altogether in the event of a part failure. To remove the power supply from the bed,
unscrew the two phillips head screws that secure the power supply to the bed with
a screwdriver. Each power supply is shipped from the Flexabed factory with two
9-volt batteries already installed in the power supply’s battery compartment. We
recommend replacing both of the 9 volt batteries every 12 months. You can replace
the batteries by sliding the battery compartment door to the open position (Fig. 5).
In the event of a loss of electrical power, the emergency battery power will allow
you to lower the bed to a flat position. Battery backup power does not provide suf-
ficient power to raise the bed. If you desire to have the capability to raise the bed
in the event of a loss of electrical power, you will need an alternative power source
such as a generator.
Your Flexabed is also equipped with an emergency lowering button (Fig 6) that is
located on the control box underneath your bed. In the event that your hand con-
trol is not functional, you can press and hold the emergency lowering button and
