USER MANUAL
Before using for first time
This product is delivered by Mercado Medic AB with the battery in its deactivated state. The battery must be
activated before using for the first time. This is done by connecting the battery charger. Keep the battery charger
connected until the battery is fully charged. This will be indicated by a green light on the charger’s LED. If you are
using the hand control with cord, this will also be indicated by the three green battery LEDs, which will start to flash
at the same time. The battery may also need to be charged when it has been inactive as a certain degree of self-
discharge always occurs for batteries.
Note!
Charging the battery is particularly important on chairs with electric brakes, electric seat tilting and electrical
back functions because these functions require a high battery capacity in order to work properly. Guarantee these
functions by recharging the battery once a day. The battery may only be changed by personnel authorised by
Mercado Medic AB. See assembly instructions, Battery Replacement.
Troubleshooting for electrical functions on your chair
There are no movements at all:
• The battery might need to be charged. See the instructions above.
• An internal error may have been detected by the system, which then shuts down one or all of the function
channels and switches on a warning light on the hand control with cord. The system will be reset automatically
after 10 seconds. If the error has been resolved, then all channels will be unlocked and the warning light will be
switched off.
• The button lock may be enabled. To enable or disable the button lock for a certain function, hold in both of the
directional arrows on the relevant button for at least three seconds.
The electric functions on the chair are slow:
• The battery needs to be charged. See the instructions above.
If none of the above measures are able to resolve the problem, servicing may be required. Please contact your dealer
or get in touch with Mercado Medic AB. You will find our contact details on the last page of this manual.
Emergency stop
If, for whatever reason, the system does not interrupt a movement after the corresponding function button has been
released, the movement can be interrupted by pressing down any of the other buttons on the hand control with cord.
If a fixed control unit is being used instead of a hand control with cord, the same emergency stop function can be
initiated by pressing down the button for movement in another direction.
*If the chair’s battery has reached a critical level and the electronic functions do not work after six hours of charging,
charge the chair for a further 24 hours. If the problem persists, please contact the distributor of your chair.
