Cycle Rechargeable Battery System - Repose Arden User Manual

20 Cycle Rechargeable
Battery System
The Arden comes with the option of purchasing a 20 Cycle rechargeable battery system for mains
free usage.
Operation and charging
• When the chair is received the battery MUST BE FULLY CHARGED before usage. It is
recommended that the battery is CHARGED FOR AT LEAST 8 HOURS. The green LED
light on the charger will turn green when charging is complete.
• The battery SHOULD BE OPERATED at normal room temperatures and never in damp
environments.
• The battery provides an average of up to 20 chair adjustments.
• There is an acoustic warning signal, a 5 second beep, that notifies you of a low remaining charge
during operation. Charge the battery before further use.
• DO NOT let the battery completely discharge as this will stop it from being fully charged again.
If the battery is left to completely discharge it may have to be replaced and this is not covered
under the warranty.
• It is RECOMMENDED that the battery is charged regularly overnight to prevent complete
discharge.
• The chair may be used and operated whilst it is being charged, but DO NOT move the chair
about when it is plugged in.
• The electrical components are designed to be used for no longer than 2 minutes continuous
movement in any period of 20 minutes. (See Usage time on page 15).
• Rechargeable batteries, by their nature, have limited lifespan and are characterised by gradual
power loss over time. This normal depreciation and continual power loss is not covered under
the warranty.
Maintenance and disposal
• The rechargeable battery system is designed to be maintenance free.
• DO NOT open the battery.
• If your battery shows any signs of leakage do not allow the fluid to come into contact with your
skin. If it does, clean the affected area and contact your doctor.
• If the battery is stored disconnect the battery from the control or drive system and ensure you
charge it every six months. Maximum storage time is 12 months.
• ONLY use a dry cloth to clean.
• Damaged batteries must be disposed of immediately and in line with environmental regulations.
Repose always recommend that a qualified chair engineer carries out any checks.
