11. POWER FAILURES
The bed does not have battery backup functionality unless you have purchased the
battery backup variant of the bed (SOLITE/UK/4/BB). This can be identified by a box
fastened to the leg section motor. In the event of a power failure the bed will not
function, resulting in the backrest and / or leg section remaining up, if previously raised.
The backrest and leg section are operated via two individual actuators that are located
underneath the mattress platform.
• If either the backrest or leg section is raised, locate the actuator supporting the
relevant section.
• Hold / support the section.
• Remove the pins that hold the actuator in place.
• Gently lower the section(s) to the flattened position.
12. BATTERY CHARACTERISTICS (SOLITE/UK/4/BB ONLY)
The internal battery trickle charges whilst the bed is plugged into the mains supply to
keep it in a continually charged state, the bed will continue to operate normally whilst
charging.
