ADVISORY IMPORTANT INFORMATION READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT This PowerBASE adjustable bed has been quality engineered with design features to assure comfort and safety when operated properly. This bed is designed for in-home use only. It is not approved for hospital use and does not comply with hospital standards. Do not use this bed with tent type oxygen therapy equipment, or use near explosive gases. PACEMAKER WARNING This product produces a vibrating sensation.
ACOUSTICS LIFTING/LOWERING MECHANISMS The lift/lower feature will emit a minimal humming sound during operation. This is normal. During PowerBASE operation, the lift arm wheels make contact with the platform support of the bed. This applies slight tension on the moving components and resonance is reduced to a minimum level. If excessive noise or vibration is experienced, reverse the movement action (up or down) of the bed with the hand control.
