Do not expose to direct sunlight.

HC40 Advanced | 18

Batteries
HC40 FRAME™
The hand control needs two AAA batteries.
1.	 Press the button located inside the oval arch at the bottom of the hand control. Take off the batterylid.

2.	 Put in the new batteries as indicated in the housing.
		

We recommend using alkaline batteries. Using another type of batteries can leadto unintended restart of the hand control.

3.	 Reattach the battery lid by placing the lower end of the lid and then press below the ‘down’ button.

After insertion of the batteries in the HC40, a start-up logo appears for 5 seconds.

HC40 Advanced | 19

HC40 TWIST™
The hand control needs two AAA batteries.
1.	 Open the battery lid on the front of the HC40, by pressing and sliding it in the opposite direction of
the keypad.

2.	 Put in the new batteries as indicated in the housing.
		

We recommend using alkaline batteries. Using another type of batteries can leadto unintended restart of the hand control.

3.	 Reattach the battery lid by placing it back on the hand control and then slide it on in the direction
towards the keypad.

After insertion of the batteries in the HC40, a start-up logo appears for 5 seconds.

Setting time and day
1.	 Press button 1 to switch between 24H and AM/PM.

2.	 Adjust the time by using the ‘up’ and ‘down’ buttons on the keypad. Once the hours and minutes
are adjusted, “SAVE” appears in the display. Press the ‘select’ button or button 3 “SAVE” to save thetime.

3.	 Use the ‘left’ and ‘right’ buttons to adjust the day of the week. Press the ‘select’ button or button 3“SAVE” to save the day.

The hand control is now ready for exploring the menu and the features.

HC40 Advanced | 22

Screen saver
After 10 seconds of inactivity the HC40 dims the light in the display. After another 10 seconds in dimmed
light, the display turns off.
The next time the hand control is picked up, the screensaver (time and day) or a notification shows.

Motion sensor
After setting the time and day in the HC40, the motion sensor is enabled. The screen now reacts on any
movement of the hand control. E.g. the screen turns on, when the user picks up the hand control.
As the motion sensor may cause the batteries to empty during bumpy transportation before the handcontrol reaches its destination, we recommend the bed producer not to complete the time and day
registration in the HC40 if the hand control is delivered to the end user with batteries in.
We recommend the same to LINAK salespeople before a customer visit. The software can be prepared
before the visit, but before starting the trip to the customer, please take out the batteries.

HC40 Advanced | 23

Demo mode and how to pair
As long as the remote is not paired to any actuator system, the menu structure will be accessible to loop
around in for demonstration purposes. We call this demo mode.
After 5 minutes active surfing around the menu structure in demo mode, a ‘help-to-pair’ guide appears.
1.	 Set the bed in pairing mode by applying power to the system.
2.	 Press button 1 and 3 at the same time.
3.	 With successful pairing a blue circle with a check mark shows. The HC40 and actuator system are
now paired up.

Figure 1

Pairing command

Pairing successful

Wait 20 seconds before disconnecting the actuator system from the mains supply.
Otherwise the pairing will not be saved in the hand control.
The Demo mode is ended as soon as the actuator system and the HC40 are paired and connected. Up anddown arrows are now visible on the screen surrounding the reference name, showing that the system can
now run.

Figure 2

HC40 not paired

For customers pairing the HC40 to the actuator system on the production line when producing the bed, it
is possible to pair the system already after the start-up logo is gone. No need to enter time and day before
making the pairing procedure.

We recommend our products to be disassembled as much as possible and divided into different waste
groups for recycling or combustion.
For example, waste can be sorted into metals, plastics, cable scrap, combustible material, and recoverable
resources.
Some of these main groups can be further divided into subgroups; e.g. metal can be divided into steel/aluminium/copper and plastic can be divided into ABS/PA/PE/PP.
As an example, the table below breaks down the different components in LINAK products to various
recycling groups:
