safety precautions and usage statements
their physician prior to using products that contain Neodymium
MAGNETS . It is also possible that some pacemakers may
falsely interpret the optional massage feature vibrations as
movement/exercise . This is a common occurrence with any
product that creates a vibrating movement and may not affect
the pacemaker . Please consult your physician before using the
massage feature .
IN-HOME USE AND HOSPITAL STANDARDS:
Ergomotion adjustable bed bases are designed solely for in-home
use . This base was not designed as a hospital bed and is not
designed to meet hospital standards . Do not use this base with
TENT TYPE oxygen therapy equipment or near explosive gases.
WARNING
For optimal safety and operation, plug bed base into a surge protector
(not included). The bed base should only be plugged directly into a
grounded wall outlet or surge protector (strongly recommended). Improper
connection of the equipment can result in the risk of electrical shock,
electrical file or faulty operation of this bed base. If the plug does not fit
your outlet, contact a qualified Electrician to install a suitable outlet.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES
Casters (optional leg accessory) are equipped with locking
wheels to prevent unwanted movement . Even when locked and
unable to roll, it is possible for the casters to slide . Free release
head and foot motors are designed to lower the mattress by
retracting only with gravity, never pulling downwards, which
minimizes pinch points .

ACOUSTICS
LIFTING/LOWERING MECHANISMS
The lift/lower feature will emit a minimal humming sound during
operation . This is normal . During operation, the lift arm wheels
make contact with the platform support of the base . This
contact may result in metal on metal or metal on plastic contact .
This applies slight tension on the moving components and
resonance is reduced to a minimum level . If excessive noise or
vibration is experienced, reverse the movement action (up or
down) of the base with the remote control . This should realign
the base's activating mechanisms to the proper operational
position . In normal base operation, the wheels which allow the
bed to maintain its distance from the wall, will make contact
with the steel platform supports of the base creating a contact
noise . When entering, exiting or shifting weight on the base, this
contact noise may be audible as the wheels make contact . This
is normal .
MATERIALS
Ergomotion adjustable bases are constructed from various
materials including woods, metals, plastics and fabrics . Tension,
pressure or movement applied to the frame, platform or shroud
through general use may create an audible sound .
MASSAGE OPERATION AND LOCATION ENVIRONMENT
The massage feature will emit a tone during operation . This is
normal . As the massage intensity level is increased, the tone will
intensify . The volume of this tone is directly related to the location
environment . For example, when demonstrated in a show room,
the surrounding environmental noise will cover some of the
massage noise . However, when installed in a home setting with
