ME0057 issue 3
Fitting the Archimedes in the bathtub
Before placing the Archimedes in a bathtub, check
that the surface where the suction cups will be
sitting is clean and free from bath oil and cleaning
residue. Remove anti-slip matting from this area.
WARNING:
The suction cups may not adhere properly
on textured and non-slip areas of a bathtub.
Remove the actuator and seat section from the base
(see “Getting Started”). Moisten each of the suction
cups and place the base section as close to the
back slope of the bathtub as possible. Reposition
the actuator in the socket at the back of the base unit
(
A
fig.5).
Fold the transfer flaps onto the seat and slide the
seat section onto the base section. Position the top
end of the actuator into the slot in the latch (
B
) at the
back of the seat section and make sure that it ‘clicks’
into place.
Plug the hand control into the actuator cable and
fasten the retaining clip (
A
fig 6).
Hand Control
The hand control is a completely sealed unit containing
a rechargeable battery and battery state indicator light;
it contains no user serviceable parts. DO NOT attempt
to open.
Battery State Indicator
When either the ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ buttons are pressed, the
indicator light (
A
fig.7) shows the state of the battery as
follows:
GREEN
- OK to use.
FLASHING GREEN
- OK to use but the battery needs to
be recharged after this bath.
RED
- The battery needs recharging before use. The seat
will not lower.
NOTE:
The microprocessor in the
hand control will not allow the seat to be lowered
if it detects that there will not be enough battery
power to raise it again.
The battery is not replaceable. When it reaches the
end of its working life, indicated by failure to accept
or retain charge (frequently showing red on the battery
state indicator), the complete hand control will need to
be replaced with a new one. It should be returned to your
supplier for safe disposal. DO NOT dispose of the hand
control with your normal household trash. Batteries should
be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
