How Can I Make My Handpiece Cord Longer?
If your handpiece cord feels too short, don’t worry—there are a few simple solutions you can try at home. The cords are designed to be compact but can extend up to almost 5 meters with gentle stretching.
🛠️ Solution 1: Check the Installation
- Ensure the cord isn’t caught under the bed wheels or tangled in any part of the frame.
- The cord should run directly from the control box (located under the head section of the bed) to the edge of the bed.
- Freeing the cord from obstructions can immediately improve its reach.
🔄 Solution 2: Gently Stretch the Coils
- The cord is tightly coiled, similar to a telephone cord.
- Gently stretch the coils in small sections, starting from the control box and working toward the handpiece.
- Over time, the coils will soften and extend more easily with regular use.
🔁 Solution 3: Switch the Handpiece to the Other Side
- Trace the handpiece cord back to the control box.
- You can re-route the cord to the opposite side of the bed, which may offer better reach—especially for Queen or Double beds.
- Be sure the bed is powered off while adjusting cables, and check that the cord won’t be pinched by moving parts.
📞 Solution 4: Contact Your Supplier
- If the above steps don’t help, reach out to the store or supplier where you purchased the bed.
- They may be able to guide you through these steps or offer additional support such as an extension cable.
