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
devices, such as lift 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 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 of electrically-powered devices. 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 suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments.
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 lift chair .
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the lift chair can increase
the susceptibility of the chair to EMI. Do not modify your lift chair in any way not
authorized by Pride.
WARNING! Y our lift chair itself can disturb the performance of other electrical devices
located nearby , suc h as alarm systems.
NOTE: If unintended motion occurs, discontinue use of the lift c hair. Contact Pride to report the incident.
SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Before using your lift chair, make sure your delivery is complete as some components may be packaged
individually. If you do not receive a complete delivery, please contact your authorized Pride Provider immediately. Where damage has occurred during transport, either to the packaging or content, please contact the
delivery company responsible.
MOT OR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
If you will be transporting your lift chair in a motor vehicle, individual components (external transformer, etc.)
should be secured against slipping. The lift chair itself must also be secured against slipping (a possible
hazard during vehicle braking).

the external transformer, batteries, 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 hazard.
Figure 3.3 Scissor Mechanism
External T ransformer: Connects to a standard electrical outlet to provide power to the lift chair. The trans-
former is equipped with an LED indicator , which shows green when power to the transformer is on.
The external transformer may also come equipped with mounting brackets that allow the transformer to be
mounted to the wall directly under the standard electrical outlet. The screws m ust be mounted to the wall stud
for security. Refer to “Appendix C” for a mounting diagram.

LIFT CHAIR PLACEMENT
Your lift chair should be placed near a standard electrical outlet on dry , le vel ground where there is ample room
to allow for proper operation. Pride recommends that you have the assistance of an attendant when positioning
the lift chair to avoid the possibility of injury when lifting.
Follow these steps to position the lift chair in a safe manner:
1. Place the back of the lift chair 30 in. (76 cm) from the nearest obstruction while the chair is in the seated
position. This measurement may vary depending on model.
2. Adjust the leg levelers to stabilize the lift chair (Fig. 3.2).
3. Install the batteries into the external transformer if applicable. Refer to “Battery Installation” for more information.
4. Position the external transformer on the floor in an open, well-ventilated area where it will not be an obstruction, or if equipped, utilize the optional wall mount.
5. Position the low voltage connection cable where it will not be pinched between the frame and the lift
mechanism.
6. Connect the low voltage connection cable to the external transformer if it is not already connected.
7. Plug the power cord directly into the electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord!
NOTE: If you discover a problem at any point during the set-up and positioning of your lift chair,
stop and contact your authorized Pride Provider immediately . T o av oid personal injury and/or product damage, do not plug the unit into the electrical outlet until the problem is corrected and do
not attempt to fix electrical problems by yourself.
BA TTERY INST ALLA TION
Your lift chair may be equipped with a battery backup system that will activate during a power failure. The
backup system is powered by two 9V batteries (not included) that need to be installed into the external
transformer.
Follow these steps to install the batteries:
1. Unplug the external transformer power cord from
the electrical outlet.
2. Open the marked battery door on the external
transformer .
3. Install two 9V batteries into the external transformer (Fig. 4.2).
4. Replace the battery door.
NOTE: Always make sure the external transformer is equipped with two fresh 9V batteries,
since the battery backup system does not recharge itself. F resh batteries are defined as 9V
alkaline batteries that are replaced every time
the battery backup system is activated during
a power failure, or once a year if the batter y
backup system has not been activated.
BATTERY DOOR
NOTE: If you unplug your lift chair for an extended period of time (more than one hour), remove the batteries from the external transformer. The lift chair will draw power from the
batteries even when it is not in use.

the chair is rocking. See III. “Your Lift Chair” for instructions on leveling your chair.
Where can I place the external transformer box?

Where do I find the serial number on my lift chair?

printed below the serial number bar code.
