Please read these instructions if you have an Accupak rechargeable battery system
for mains free usage.
Components received on delivery / Set up
• The Accupak battery
will be fitted out of sight on the base of the chair.
• The transformer and power cables
which enable the battery to be initially charged /
recharged will normally be connected to the chair when it is initially set up.
• The handset user instructions
which can be found on page 15, 16 and 17.
• Only use the equipment supplied with the Accupak
.
Operation and charging
•
When the chair is received the battery
MUST BE FULLY CHARGED
before usage. It is
recommended that the battery is
CHARGED FOR AT LEAST 8 HOURS
.
•
The battery
SHOULD BE OPERATED
at normal room temperatures and never in damp
environments.
•
The battery provides an average of up to 70 adjustment cycles.
•
The plug-in
CONNECTIONS ARE ACCESSIBLE
so that the system can be switched off in
an emergency.
•
The transformer must
ALWAYS
lie flat on the floor.
•
The Accupak has an audible acoustic warning signal which is activated when the handset controls
are used and the battery is low and requires recharging. The system still remains activated and
emergency adjustment is possible, but please charge immediately. The battery also has an overall
switch off threshold should you continue to operate the chair when the acoustic warning is
sounding. This prevents deep discharge of the battery and permanent damage to it.
• DO NOT
let the battery completely discharge as this will stop it from being fully charged again.
If the battery is left to completely discharge it may have to be replaced and this is
not
covered under the warranty
.
•
It is
RECOMMENDED
that the battery is charged regularly overnight to prevent complete
discharge.
•
The chair may be used and operated whilst it is being charged, but
DO NOT
move the chair
about when it is plugged in.
•
The electrical components are designed to be used for
NO
LONGER
than 2 minutes continuous
movement in any period of 20 minutes. (See Usage time on page 17).
•
Rechargeable batteries, by their nature, have limited lifespans and are characterised by gradual
power loss over time. This normal depreciation and continual power loss is
not covered under
the warranty
.
