THETRU-BALANCE POWER RECLINE
The TRU-Balance Power Recline is a unique seating system designed specifically for the Pride Power Chair. It is fully adjustable to meet the individual needs of the user, and it is mounted to a Pride power base to provide maximum maneuverability.
Reusable hook and loop fasteners are included in your owner’s package for use in attaching the seat cushion to the seat base. These fasteners are not intended for use on cushions with anti-skid material, as they may damage the seat cushion.
Figure 1 provides information on the TRU-Balance Power Recline components. Use this diagram to familiarize yourself with the function and location of each component before using the TRU-Balance Power Recline.
PRECAUTIONARY GUIDELINES
Before operating the TRU-Balance Power Recline, please read the following. These guidelines are provided for your benefit and will aid you in the safe operation of the seating system.
!Turn off the power before you are seated in the seating system.
!Always have assistance when you are being seated in the seating system.
!Follow all of the procedures and heed the warnings as explained in your power chair owner’s manual.
WARNING! Your Quantum Rehab Specialist configured your TRU-Balance Seating System to suit your specific requirements. Do not change the original configuration without first contacting your Quantum Rehab Specialist.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.
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 computer 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. Every electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. This product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types of radio transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility vehicle due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating your mobility vehicle and avoid coming into close proximity of radio and TV stations.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the electrically-powered mobility vehicle can increase the susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your power chair in any way not authorized by Pride.
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the performance of other electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, go to the Resource Center on www.pridemobility.com. If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn your power chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride at 800-424-8205 to report the incident.
