Battery Charger
1. Simply mount the Battery Charger in a central
location convenient to caregiver staff. Plug the
Battery Charger into any standard wall socket
(110V; 50-60 Hz.).
2. Insert the Battery in the Battery Charger.
• Green light -- indicates main power is on
• Yellow light -- indicates Battery is charging
3. After about four hours of charging, the yellow
light goes off and the Battery will be fully
charged. Note: We recommend that users
charge up the Battery immediately upon receipt.
4. The Battery has a useful life of about 3.5 years,
depending upon usage. It is recommended to
discharge the Battery as little as possible and to
recharge quite frequently (by keeping the Battery
connected to the Battery Charger when not in
use), to provide the longest Battery life.
5. When the Battery needs replacing, dispose of
the old Battery in the same manner you would
dispose of a car (lead acid) battery.
Powering the EasyCare Platform:
Attach the battery to the Battery Pack Patch Cord
Socket at the bed foot end (Figure 41).
Depending on the Battery condition and load on the
bed, one battery can typically raise and lower the
bed, constituting one cycle, 20 to 25 times on single,
full charge.
