COSTWAY makes no other warranty expressed or implied, and all
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose are disclaimed by COSTWAY and excluded from this
agreement. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to every purchaser. This warranty gives the
purchaser specific legal rights, and the purchaser may also have other
rights, which may vary from state to state.
This warranty begins on the "warranty commencement date" which is
the date of purchase for new unused beds and the date of
manufacturee for beds that have been used as floor or display models.
2ND YEAR FULL WARRANTY
For the 2nd year from the Warranty Commencement Date, your
adjustable base is warranted against non-excluded defects in
COSTWAY's workmanship or materials. During the 2nd year from the
Warranty Commencement Date, COSTWAY will repair or replace (at
no cost to You) any defective adjustable base part, and COSTWAY will
pay all authorized labor associated with the repair or replacement of
any parts found to be defective. In the case where adjustable base
needs to be replaced COSTWAY does not cover or pay for any part of
transportation costs.
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This warranty does not apply; (a) to any damage caused by the
purchaser; (b) if there has been any repair or replacement of
adjustable bed parts by an unauthorized person; (c) if the adjustable
bed has been mishandled (whether in transit or by other means),
subjected to physical or electrical abuse or misuse, or otherwise
operated in any manner inconsistent with the operation and
maintenance procedures outlined in the Owner's Manual and may
activate a special sensor in your pacemaker that detects motion.
05

www.costway.com
This can fool the pacemaker into "thinking" you are engaged in some
sort of physical activity and require a faster heart rate. You may
experience a sensation similar to when you are exercising. Consult
your physician for further information.
PRODUCT RATINGS:
The bed lift motors are not designed for continuous use of more than 2
minutes in an 18 minutes period, or approximately 10% duty cycle.
Any attempt to circumvent or exceed this rating will shorten the life
expectancy of the product and may void the warranty.
WEIGHT UNITS:
The limitation for this adjustable bed is 850 Ibs. The bed will
structurally support these weights, provided weight is evenly
distributed across the head and foot sections. This product is not
designed to support or lift this amount in the head or foot section
alone. Exceeding this weight restriction could damage the bed and/or
cause injury and void the warranty. Enter or exit the bed in a flat
position and do not sit on the head or foot sections while in the raised
position.
LIFTING AND LOWERING MECHANISMS AND MASSAGE UNITS:
It is normal for the raising and lowering feature on this bed to emit a
minimal humming sound during operation. The massage feature
creates a vibrating hum during operation and the resonance will
increase accordingly with a higher intensity motor setting.
LOCATION ENVIRONMENT
The level of sound experienced in a room is directly related to the
environment within that location. In a room with hardwood floors and
the massage units turned on, a vibrating noise can be noticeable. To
reduce the resonance, place a piece of carpet or rubber casters cups
under the legs. The rubber caster cups also prevent the bed sliding
when located on smooth or hard surface flooring.
06

www.costway.com
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK, BURNS, FIRE OR INJURY:
Make sure the base is in a flat position and the vibrating motors are
turned off before unplugging the bed base from the power source.
Always unplug the base from the electrical outlet before cleaning or
servicing the base. If the cord or plug is damaged, discontinue use of
the bed base. Contact a qualified service personnel for examination
and repair.
FCC COMPLIANCE:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules for residential use.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmtul interterence, and (2) this device must accept
any interterence received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Radio Frequency: 2.4 GHz
