Low Bed

4.0 BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM
The bed is equipped with a battery backup system, which allows the electrically operated functions to
be used when the bed is disconnected from the main power source. The bed transitions between main
power and battery power automatically. To charge the battery, connect the power cord to an AC
power outlet receptacle. The bed should be plugged in as often as possible to maximize battery life.
If the bed is not used for a long period of time, it is recommended that the battery be charged at least
24 hours before operating on battery power.
NOTE: Keep the bed plugged into a main power receptacle for optimum performance and higher
adjustment speeds.
Bed adjustments will be slower when the power cord is unplugged and the bed is powered from
its battery backup system.
