2 SAFETY
WARNING
To de-energize the bed it must be unplugged from the wall outlet and the battery must be disconnected from the
controller to prohibit operation.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
DO NOT permit the cord, wall outlet, motors, control box or pendant to become wet or submerged.
DO NOT operate the bed if the cord or outlet is damaged. DO NOT operate the bed if any motor has malfunctioned or
is damaged in any manner.
DO NOT use this bed in Active Treatment "Ether Environments".
Plug the three prong electrical cord ONLY into a properly grounded 110 VAC to 120 VAC, 60 cycle outlet that is rated to
at least six amps. This electric bed must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current, thereby reducing the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounded plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate electric outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
CAUTION
A safety feature of this product includes protection against overheating caused by excessive or extended periods of
operation. Depending on the duration, this includes multiple or repeated adjustments or the use of multiple functions at
one time. To assure trouble free operation, ALWAYS allow a slight pause between multiple adjustments and avoid pressing
more than one function button at a time. If thermal protection activation should occur, the bed will not respond to pendant
commands. Given this situation, release the pendant button and allow the bed unit to sit for several minutes. This will allow
the protection function time to reset and restore bed function. Depending on the severity of the initial overheating, this
could take up to 30 minutes.
