PARAMOUNT BED 7B01001000A3 - Page 46

Inserting the power plug of the bed into the outlet
starts recharging of the battery, and recharging will
complete automatically after 24 hours. The battery
can be recharged regardless of whether the power is
on or off.
When using the bed for the first time, recharge the
battery before use.
Note!
n Normally use the bed with the power
plug of the bed inserted into the outlet
and the battery recharged.
n Repeated recharging after the battery
power is used up results in early deg-
radation of maximum capacity and a
shorter life span. After battery-pow-
ered operation of the bed, recharge the
battery when possible.
n If the indicator shows that the remain-
ingpowerisloworinsu󰀩cient(seep.
44) soon after starting bed opera-
tion, even though the recharge is com-
pleted, it is time to replace the battery.

g Life
The battery life varies depending on the operating frequency and environment, and storage condition of
the battery. Some batteries reach the end of their life in 2 to 3 years and almost all batteries reach the end
of their life in 5 years, regardless of whether or not they are used.
Note!
nIf the indicator shows that the remaining power is low or insu󰀩cient (see p. 44) soon
after starting bed operation, even though the recharge is completed, it is time to replace the
battery.
n Check regularly whether the bed can be battery-operated or whether the battery replace-
ment time has been reached. Replace a battery that has reached the replacement time.
g Operating environment
Itisrecommendedtousethebatteryataround25˚C.Theperformanceofthebatteryvariesdependingon
theambienttemperatureanddeterioratesto85%at0˚Ccomparedtotheperformanceat25˚C.
g Storage
The battery self-discharges slightly even when the battery is powered off. When storing the bed, recharge
the battery for 24 hours or more, disconnect the power plug of the bed, and power off the battery. This
reduces the impact of excessive discharge on the life. Note that it is recommended to store the bed at an
ambienttemperatureof25˚C.
When storing the bed for a long period of time, recharge the battery for 24 hours or more once every 3
months. If the battery is not recharged, the battery capacity may deteriorate or the battery may become
no longer rechargeable. Recharging the battery automatically turns the power supply on. When storing
the bed again, power off the battery.
