CAUTION:
Using the emergency mechanical release as the primary means of returning to the seated
position can cause damage to the unit. Only use the mechanical release in emergency situations.
All Altimate Medical electric lift products are equipped with a
mechanical release to be used in emergency situations.
FIG. G-
The release allows the user to be lowered to a seated
position in the unlikely occurrence of the battery losing charge
while the user is in a standing position. The actuator only retracts
if the release is pulled and there is weight on the seat. The release
is located on the left side of the seat and is signified by a red tag
with the word “EMERGENCY”.
1. To activate the emergency mechanical release pull out the
quick release pin located underneath the seat.
2. Squeeze the handle and, if necessary, push down on the handle.
Battery Replacement
The batteries are enclosed in the control box of the Pow’r Up Lift (the black box where the cords are
plugged in). Once the batteries have reached the end of their life and need to be replaced, do not open
the control box; please contact Altimate Medical Customer Service or your medical equipment dealer
for information about purchasing a replacement control box. It is recommended that the batteries be
replaced every four years.
Please contact your local recycling authority for information about disposing of the old batteries.
IP Rating
The IP rating is a classification system indicating the protection degree from dust, water and impact for
electrical equipment and enclosures. Pow’r Up Lift components are rated at IP21. The definition for IP21 is
as follows:
First character definition:
2 - Protected against solid foreign objects of 12.5mm diameter and greater.
Second character definition:
1 - Protected against vertically falling water drops.
Electromagnetic compatibility
Pow’r Up Option components have been designed and tested to meet the applicable EMC requirements. It
is unlikely that you will encounter problems with your EasyStand due to inadequate electromagnetic
compatibility. However, if you notice any unusual (such as intermittent) behavior of your Pow’r Up option
and the EasyStand is being used next to possible interfering equipment such as mobile phones,
microwaves, or radio broadcast masts, this could be an indication of electromagnetic interference. If such
behavior occurs, use the mechanical release to lower the unit to the seated position and move the
EasyStand away from the interfering equipment. Please report any instance of possible electromagnetic
interference to Altimate Medical’s Customer Service Department.
