Operating Instructions
Please ensure both yourself and any helpers read these instructions carefully before using your bath
lift.
This bath lift is designed and manufactured to assist individuals in getting in and out of the bath. It should not be used for any other
purpose. Do not use it in combination with other lifting or moving devices. If you are unable to get out of the bath unaided, do not
bathe without someone on call to help in an emergency.

Operating Instructions
1. Unpacking the bath lift
Open the packaging and ensure the bath lift is not damaged. If it has been damaged
in transit, contact your supplier immediately.
Inside the box you will nd:
• A bath lift, complete with two side aps and hand control attached. (see g 1)
• Side ap protectors x 2 (see g 1)
• A battery (see g 2)
• Battery charger and charger cradle attached (see g 2)
We recommend that the bath lift is always separated and carried as two lighter,
individual sections. Refer to section 5 “Installing the bath lift” for details on how to
move the bath lift.

Charger
Before rst operation of your bath lift or after long periods of non-use
(typically 7-10 days), fully charge the battery as follows. A at battery will take
up to 2 hours to charge.
i ) Slide the battery into the track on the charger cradle until it clicks into place (see
g 2).
ii ) Plug the charger into the mains socket outside the bathroom and switch on the
electricity supply.
iii) The light indicator on the charger box will initially ash in a quick sequence of
red, green, red, green, before a constant red light appears to indicate charging is in
progress (see g 2).
iv ) When the battery has been fully charged, the red light turns to a constant green light,
which indicates the battery is ready for use, and can remain continuously on charge
until you are ready to take your bath.
v ) When you are ready to use your fully charged battery (see paragraph iv), ensure it is
removed from the charger cradle and that the mains socket is switched o, or that the
charger is removed from the mains socket. (This prevents the battery discharging and
will reset the charger ready for its next use.)

•
Always charge on a hard surface.
•
Ensure that no metal objects touch the contacts on the battery, as this will damage the battery.

Operating Instructions
3. If you have a telecare-enabled bath lift
The telecare-enabled bath lift has been designed to integrate with the Tunstall
Lifeline 400, 4000+ and Connect+ units. The telecare-enabled bath lift can be added
to an existing monitoring solution or as part of a new installation to suit individual
needs
If you have a telecare-enabled bath lift, you will nd a telecare-enabled battery inside
your bath lift box rather than the standard battery (see g 3).
Programming the telecare-enabled bath lift to Tunstall 400, 4000+ and
Connect+ home units
i ) Press and hold down the green cancel key located on the Lifeline unit (see g
4) until it bleeps (approx. 5 seconds), then release the green cancel key and the
LifeLine unit will bleep twice. The red alarm button will ash slowly.
ii ) Press the green cancel key again until the LifeLine unit bleeps, then release the
cancel key and the LifeLine unit will bleep twice. The red alarm button will now
ash rapidly.
iii) Press the red button on the end of your bath lift’s telecare-enabled battery (see
g 3) and a red light will illuminate at the end of the battery. The Lifeline unit will
bleep to conrm acceptance.

v) Make a test call using the programmed telecare-enabled battery (see g 4) by
pressing its red button and ensure it raises an alarm call.
Making an alarm call
i ) To raise an alarm while using the bath lift, press the red button on the end of the
battery (see g 3). This will allow you to talk to the control centre operator ‘hands
free’ using the powerful speaker and microphone of the Lifeline 400, 4000+ and
Connect+.
ii ) The control centre operator will summon the appropriate assistance from your
carer, warden or emergency services.
NOTE:
An alarm call cannot be raised unless a Tunstall Lifeline 400, 4000+ or Connect+
home unit is installed in your home and the telecare-enabled battery is programmed
correctly to this home unit (see section “Programming the telecare-enabled bath lift to
Tunstall Lifeline 400, 4000+ and Connect+ home units” above).
