Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radiofrequency waves can have an adverse effect on the performance of electrically-powered devices, such as chairs.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computers links, microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to the control system of electrically-powered devices. The chair user can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment. It is recommended that at least 9 feet (3 meters) of distance be maintained between the chair and any handheld equipment emitting 10 W or more of output power. Refer to the manufacturer’s literature for the handheld device to determine the maximum output of that device.
Every electrically-powered device has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. Per EMC standards, this product has passed immunity testing and is rated as a Group 1, Class B product, meaning the chair uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment, making the chair suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and hospitals.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types of radio transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered device due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating your chair.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the chair can increase the susceptibility of the chair to EMI. Do not modify your chair in any way not authorized by your Provider.
WARNING! Your chair itself can disturb the performance of other electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: If unintended motion occurs, discontinue use of the chair. Contact your provider to report the incident.

YOUR CHAIR

BODY COMPONENTS
Chairs are equipped with several frames and electrical components. Typically, frame (or body) components include a removable back, chaise pad*, seat, footrest, leg levelers, a lift frame, and scissor mechanisms.
The electrical components include the external transformer with connection cables, hand control, motor, and batteries‡ (not included). Refer to figure 3.1 and note that the illustrations and options listed may not reflect the type of chair that you own.

Figure 3.1 Chair Main Components

Removable Chaise Pad: Attaches to the chair with reusable fasteners to make servicing the chair more convenient.
WARNING! Prior to sitting in your chair make sure that the chaise pad is flat and free from wrinkles, debris, and bunching. Adjust the chaise pad as necessary to ensure
there are no wrinkles or bunching. Remove any debris. Failure to heed may result in product damage or personal injury.
*NOTE: The chair must be in the reclined position in order to remove or attach the chaise pad. If the chair is equipped with heat and massage options, you must also disconnect the heat and massage connections before removing the chaise pad.
‡NOTE: 9V batteries will provide power for only a short period of time after power is removed from the system, so it is important to act quickly in the event of a power failure.
Press and hold the UP button (switch) on the hand control as soon as possible. Maintain a steady pressure on the button (switch) to avoid excessive draw from the battery and achieve the most amount of lift. Keep in mind that the amount of life the batteries will be able to provide is affected by user weight and battery condition.
WARNING! Pinch/Crush Points Hazard! Be aware that the lift mechanism and scissor mechanisms are pinch points on the chair. Keep the following items and similar
objects clear of these points when operating the chair:

• appendages
• small children
• pets
• wires
• oxygen tubes, oxygen tanks, and portable ventilators
• loose items, including but not limited to clothing and blankets
• electrical power cords

Electrical Components
Your chair is equipped with a low voltage DC electrical system that reduces the standard household alternating current of 100V AC – 240V AC to direct current (24/39V DC). The electrical components include the external transformer, batteries (not included), and hand control. Keep these areas free from moisture at all times.
WARNING! Keep all electrical components free from moisture at all times to prevent shock and/or electrical hazards.
Batteries: Battery backup is intended to return a reclined chair to a seated position one time during a power outage. For those models equipped with a battery backup system, the batteries (not included) must be installed into the external transformer. See IV. “Assembly/Disassembly.”

• Chairs are designed so that your feet hang over the end. If your heels were on the footrest, it would put pressure on your heels and leg muscles and would become uncomfortable after a short period of time.

• However, when your heels hang over the edge of the footrest, it puts the weight of your legs on the backs of your calves. This distributes the weight evenly to larger ortions of your legs, and you are able to sit for long periods of time without any discomfort. The footrest extension is designed to help support your feet and to sit below the
  footrest to go with the natural curve of the foot.

NOTE: Please note that the footrest extension may not be level with the footrest.

ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY

Your chair may require some assembly before initial use. It may also require disassembly to make servicing the chair more convenient. If your chair is a Knock-Down (KD) model, follow the instructions in “Chair Back Assembly.”
CHAIR BACK ASSEMBLY
NOTE: If your chair is an Infinite model, refer to the assembly instructions provided with the chair. For the 2-position model, the KD sleeves are located on the inside as shown in figure 4.1.

1. Check that the locking clip on the back of the chair is in the vertical position. Reposition if necessary.

2. Drape the hand control and cable over the chair base, then slide the back onto the base. Ensure the hand control cable is routed through the rear of the chair.
   NOTE: Depending on chair width, you may need to slide on one side of the back at a time. If this is the case, level the chair-back before pressing down to lock into position.

3. Push firmly on the top of the back to lock into position. You must hear a click from each side of the chair to ensure the back is locked in properly.
   NOTE: Pull up on the chair-back to ensure that it is locked in place.

Questions & Answers about Proposition 65
What is Proposition 65?
Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. These chemicals can be in the products that Californians purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By requiring that this information be provided, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals.
Proposition 65 also prohibits California businesses from knowingly discharging significant amounts of listed chemicals into sources of drinking water. Proposition 65 requires California to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This list, which must be updated at least once a year, has grown to include approximately 900 chemicals since it was first published in 1987.
What types of chemicals are in the Proposition 65 list?
The list contains a wide range of naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals that include additives or ingredients in pesticides, common household products, food, drugs, dyes, or solvents. Listed chemicals may also be used in manufacturing and construction, or they may be byproducts of chemical processes, such as motor vehicle exhaust.
What does a warning mean?
If a warning is placed on a product label or posted or distributed at a workplace, a business, or in rental housing, the business issuing the warning is aware or believes that it is exposing individuals to one or more listed chemicals. By law, a warning must be given for listed chemicals unless the exposure is low enough to pose no significant risk of cancer or is significantly below levels observed to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Where can I get more information on Proposition 65?
If you have specific questions on the administration or implementation of Proposition 65, you can contact OEHHA’s Proposition 65 program at P65.[email protected], or by phone at 916-445-6900.
