To avoid an unintended function, it is pointed out that several keys must not be pressed simultaneously.

Attention
If the system cannot be put into operation after initialization or after a fatal error reset, contact the manufacturer.

Attention
Batteries are excluded from the warranty!

Battery maintenance

The batteries must be replaced after four years at the latest, depending on the intensity of use, possibly even earlier. Frequent and rapid discharging reduces the life of the batteries. To achieve an optimal life span, the batteries should be connected to the mains as often as possible. The batteries must be recharged every three months at the latest, otherwise they will be damaged due to self-discharge.

The battery is only to be charged in dry conditions.

When in use never allow the battery to discharge completely (observe charging indicator)! Ensure the battery is recharged (overnight) when in use on a daily basis. The battery cannot be over-charged as the battery charger switches automatically as soon as the battery is fully charged.

How it works:
There are two buttons on the hand control that move the toilet seat up and down together with the support folding handles.

Sit down:
To sit down, the toilet seat is first raised until you can sit down on the toilet seat sur-face from a standing position. By pressing a button on the hand control, the seat and the support handles then move down simul-timeously to the normal toilet seat height. The user slowly takes up his normal sitting position without any effort.

Stand up:
It is just as comfortable to stand up as it is to sit down. At the touch of a button, the seat and support arms are lifted upwards until the user is straightened up again.

Support arms:
The support arms can be folded upwards.

Attention:
To prevent unintended operation for example by children, the support arms should be folded upwardly when not in use.
Attention danger of clamping!

Attention:
Please also observe the safety instructions for the power supply.

Attention:
In doing so, ensure the feet always stay firmly on the ground.
