GROUNDING SAFETY
To reduce the risk of electric shock, electrical fire, or faulty operation of this product, your Independence bed may feature a polarized plug meant to be used only with a grounded electrical outlet. If this plug does not fit into your outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install a properly grounded outlet. Failure to use a properly grounded outlet for this product will compromise this important grounding safety feature. The use of adapters is not recommended unless the outlet is checked by a qualified electrician to ensure the proper grounding of the adapter.

NOTE: Unauthorized modifications to this product could void the electrical portion of your warranty.

WARRANTY WARNING!
This Independence bed is specifically designed to require no maintenance by you, the user. Any opening or tampering with the control box, motors, or hand controls (with the exception of the battery compartment if equipped) will result in a void of the warranty. Only those authorized may conduct repairs or part replacement on your Independence bed. Unauthorized modifications to this product could void the electrical portion of your warranty.

MATTRESS PROTECTOR:
We strongly recommend using a mattress protector (not included) to protect your Independence bed mattress from spills, stains, and fluids which are not covered under the warranty.

IN-HOME USE ONLY
This Independence bed is designed exclusively for in-home use.

HOSPITAL DISCLAIMER:
It is NOT designed for hospital use and is NOT designed to meet hospital standards. Do not use this bed with TENT-TYPE oxygen therapy equipment or use near explosive gases.

IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES
Weight fail-safe feature: In the case that an overload of weight is placed on the head or foot mechanism, the control unit will automatically stop all functions. The control unit will automatically resume all functions 30 seconds after the excess weight is removed. The recommended weight limit for your Independence bed is up to 500 lbs.

For your Independence bed to structurally support the recommended weight, weight must be distributed evenly across the head and foot sections. The Independence bed will not and is not intended to support or lift this amount in just the head or foot section. Dependent on the size and/or model of the mattress, the available weight limit may be less.
The structure of the Independence bed will support the recommended weight when distributed evenly across the bed. The head and foot sections are not designed to individually support or lift this amount of weight. For optimal performance, entering and exiting the Independence bed with the bed in a flat or level position is recommended.

NOTE:
Exceeding the recommended weight restrictions could damage your Independence bed and void your warranty.

If your adjustable bed is positioned on a hard floor surface such as hardwood or tile, it is recommended that rubber cups or carpet squares are placed under the legs to prevent damaging or scratching your floor.

FOR OPTIMAL SAFETY, YOUR INDEPENDENCE BED SHOULD BE PLUGGED INTO A SURGE PROTECTOR (not supplied with this Independence bed).

USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS
This Independence bed is specifically designed to have no maintenance by you, the user. Therefore, you are encouraged not to open any motors, alter the wiring, or adjust, modify or change the structure of the product, as it will void the warranty.
