Battery Backup
A battery backup feature will automatically engage when the couch is disconnected from the mains supply. This
allows emergency or temporary operation of the couch for a limited time. If operated using the battery backup
when the battery level becomes low an alarm will sound.
The couch should remain connected to the mains at all times for normal use, to ensure that the batteries remain
fully charged. This will also prolong the life of the batteries.

The back rest should not be used as a means of raising the person
on the couch.
Ensure the person can support themselves while the back rest is
adjusted. If they are incapable of supporting themselves seek
assistance while adjusting the backrest.
Ensure the backrest mechanism is firmly engaged before placing
weight on the backrest.
Raising the backrest

mechanism engages firmly.

down all the way to the horizontal position.
