WARNING
Electric beds are equipped with three-prong (grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a
two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a
qualified electrician and have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in
accordance with the National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use only a three-wire extension cord
having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the round grounding prong from any plug used with or for Invacare products. In addition, Invacare has placed RED
warning tags on some equipment. DO NOT remove these tags.
For proper grounding, junction box MUST be securely connected to the bed with metal screws and the spacer provided or
electrical shock could occur.

WARNING
Electronic equipment may be influenced by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Caution should be exercised with regard to
the use of portable communications equipment in the area around such equipment. If RFI causes erratic behavior, unplug
the electric bed immediately. Leave unplugged while transmission is in progress.
