The Hand-Held Controller

The hand-held controller is used to easily raise or lower the patient harness bar, adjust the
amount of weight to unload from the patient, or to turn the auto unload feature ON or OFF for
unweighing activities. The controller is magnetic, allowing for easy-to-reach positioning
anywhere along the main column when not being held by the therapist.
To raise or lower the patient harness bar, press on the Bar Adjustment <UP> or <DOWN>
•
buttons until the desired bar height is achieved.
To raise or lower the amount of weight to be unloaded from the patient, press on the
•
Unweigh Load <UP> or <DOWN> buttons until the desired amount to be unloaded from the
patient is centered in the appropriate zone of the UNWEIGHING LOAD scale.
The Auto Unload Feature allows the system to automatically adjust the unweighing load as
•
the patient progresses through unweighing activities to compensate for any slight loosening
of the harness as the patient moves. To turn Auto Load on or off, press on the Auto Load
<ON> or <OFF> button. A green indicator light will illuminate next to the LOAD RANGE scale
when Auto Unload is activated.

The Battery Pack

The battery pack attaches to the main column. Slide the battery pack onto the support posts.
The plug and cord are located beneath the lower battery. To charge the batteries, plug the
charging cord into a wall socket.
While the battery is being charged, one of two LED lights is illuminated: A green light
•
means the battery is fully charged and an amber light means it is currently charging.
The red button on the battery is a safety button. Pushing it in removes all power to the
•
device. If it is pulled out, the device will be powered for normal use.
NOTE: The battery can also be charged with a remote charger (part #: C10396). If battery
power is drained, the device can still be used with the battery plugged in and charging.
