The AmeriGlide Rave 2 stairlift is stuck at the bottom of the stairs and beeping when the up switch is activated because it has likely stopped off the charge station. The manual states that an intermittent beep every 30 seconds indicates the lift is not on the charge station, and this repeats every 5 minutes until the lift is returned to the charge station. Moving the lift to a charge station should resolve the issue.

The remotes may not be working with the AmeriGlide Rave 2 lift despite showing the indicator light because they may not be properly programmed. To ensure proper operation, reprogram both remotes by pointing them at one of the IR sensors on the chassis and pressing the "Up" or "Down" button for each remote. Additionally, check that the lift is powered on and that there are no obstructions or faults preventing operation.
