During a power failure, your lift chair's battery backup system will automatically activate. This system is designed to take you from the recline position to the sit position only. Your battery backup system is powered by two 9V alkaline batteries (not included).

• Always make sure your lift chair's battery backup system is equipped with two fresh 9V alkaline batteries, since the system does not recharge itself. Fresh batteries are defined as 9V alkaline batteries that are replaced every time the battery backup system is activated during a power failure, or once a year if the battery backup system has not been activated.
• If you unplug your lift chair for an extended period of time (more than one hour), remove the batteries. The lift chair will draw power from the batteries even when it is not in use.

Caution:

• When sitting down in your chair, never “drop” into chair if it is partially raised.
• The external transformer is packaged independently of your lift chair. Please DON'T discard any packaging before locating the external transformer.
• Make sure the external transformer is plugged into a properly wired outlet and check the circuit breaker box.
• Make sure the connection cable from the chair is properly plugged into the external transformer.
• Make sure the hand control and motor are plugged in properly.
• Check to see if the motor plugged into the low voltage connection cable that goes into the external transformer.
• Check the up/down switch on the hand control to make sure there is a smooth movement from the [down arrow] and [up arrow] position. If the switch is sticking in either position, the hand control may need to be replaced.
• If the lift chair is rocking from corner to corner after you position the chair, the floor may be uneven or carpet may be affecting chair position. Adjust the leg levelers in the area where the chair is rocking.
• If the lift chair operates in one direction only, please contact with your dealer for assistance.
