3. Setup and Installation

The Invacare 026935 Hand Control Pendant connects to compatible Invacare SC900 and IH720 beds using its integrated 6-wire telephone plug connector.

1. Locate the Connection Port: Identify the corresponding telephone-style jack on your Invacare SC900 or IH720 bed frame. This port is typically located near the foot end or side rail of the bed.
2. Connect the Pendant: Align the 6-wire telephone plug connector of the hand control pendant with the bed's connection port. Gently push the plug into the port until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the connection is firm to prevent accidental disconnection during use.
3. Test Functionality: After connecting, test all six buttons on the pendant to ensure proper operation of the bed's functions (e.g., head up/down, foot up/down, bed height up/down). If the bed does not respond, check the connection for security and ensure the bed is powered on.

4. Operating Instructions

The Invacare 026935 Hand Control Pendant features six buttons for controlling the functions of your Invacare full electric bed. The specific functions controlled by each button may vary slightly based on the bed model (SC900 or IH720), but generally include:

• Head Up/Down: Buttons to raise or lower the head section of the bed.
• Foot Up/Down: Buttons to raise or lower the foot section of the bed.
• Bed Height Up/Down: Buttons to adjust the overall height of the bed frame.

To operate, press and hold the desired button. Release the button when the bed reaches the desired position. Avoid pressing multiple buttons simultaneously unless specifically instructed by your bed's primary manual.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and proper function of your hand control pendant.

• Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the pendant with a soft, damp cloth. Use mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the electronic components.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the cord and connector for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. If any damage is observed, discontinue use and contact Invacare customer support for replacement.
• Storage: When not in use, store the pendant in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

If the hand control pendant is not functioning as expected, refer to the following common issues and solutions:

• Pendant Not Responding:
  • Ensure the 6-wire telephone plug connector is securely inserted into the bed's port.
  • Verify that the bed is properly plugged into a power outlet and receiving power.
  • Check the bed's main power switch, if applicable, to ensure it is in the 'ON' position.
  • If the issue persists, the pendant or the bed's control unit may require service.
• Intermittent Functionality:
  • Check the cord for any kinks, twists, or damage that might be causing intermittent contact.
  • Ensure the connector is clean and free of debris.
