1. Important Safety Information
Please read all instructions carefully before using the QMED DRQM6D0AAXXXP Portable Hand Grip. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or product damage.
- This hand grip is designed to provide balance and light support. It is not intended to support full body weight or for climbing.
- Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, smooth, and non-porous (e.g., tile, glass, fiberglass, smooth metal). Do not use on porous surfaces like drywall, wood, or textured tiles.
- Always test the suction strength before each use by applying light pressure to the handle. If it feels loose, reattach it.
- Do not attach over grout lines or cracks.
- Regularly inspect the suction cups for wear or damage. Discontinue use if any damage is observed.
- Keep out of reach of children when not in use.
2. Product Overview
The QMED DRQM6D0AAXXXP Portable Hand Grip is a versatile suction-cup-mounted handle designed to offer temporary balance assistance in various locations without the need for permanent installation. It features two powerful suction cups for secure attachment to appropriate surfaces.

3. Setup and Installation
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the desired mounting surface is completely clean, dry, and free of any dust, soap scum, or oils. Use a mild cleaner and dry thoroughly. The surface must be smooth and non-porous.
- Position the Grip: Place the hand grip against the prepared surface at the desired height and orientation. Ensure both suction cups are fully on the smooth surface and not bridging any grout lines or imperfections.
- Engage Suction: Press each suction cup firmly against the surface. Then, flip down the locking levers (if present, based on typical suction cup designs, though not explicitly visible in images, it's standard for such products) or press the center of the suction cup until it creates a strong vacuum seal.
- Test Security: Before relying on the grip, gently pull on the handle to confirm it is securely attached. If it moves or feels loose, release the suction cups, clean the surface and cups again, and repeat the installation process.

4. Operating Instructions
Once securely installed, the QMED Portable Hand Grip can be used to provide additional stability and balance. It is ideal for assisting with movements such as stepping into or out of a shower, or for general support in areas where a temporary handhold is beneficial.
- Always ensure the grip is firmly attached before applying any pressure.
- Use the grip for balance and light support only. Do not use it to lift your entire body weight or as a primary support for standing from a seated position if significant weight transfer is required.
- To remove, simply lift the locking levers (if applicable) or gently pry the edge of each suction cup to break the vacuum seal.
5. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Clean the hand grip and suction cups regularly with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the suction cups for any signs of cracking, hardening, or deformation. Replace the product if the suction cups show significant wear, as this can compromise their holding power.
- Storage: When not in use, store the hand grip in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
