This hand control is compatible with various brands including Okin, Limoss, Action, Berkline, Comfort Chair, Golden, LazyBoy, Med-Lift, Mega Motion, and Pride chair motors.

Setup and Installation

Before installation, ensure your lift chair or power recliner is unplugged from the power outlet to prevent accidental operation or electrical shock.

Identify the Connector: Locate the existing hand control cable connected to your chair's motor or control box. The Okin 2-button hand control typically uses a 5-pin straight connector.

Disconnect Old Control (if applicable): Carefully unplug the old hand control from the chair's motor or control box. Note the orientation of the connector if it's not keyed.
Connect New Control: Align the 5-pin connector of the new Okin hand control with the corresponding port on your chair's motor or control box. Gently push the connector in until it is firmly seated. Ensure the connection is secure.
Secure the Cable: Route the cable in a way that it will not be pinched or tangled during chair operation.
Restore Power: Once the hand control is securely connected, plug your lift chair or power recliner back into the power outlet.

If you encounter difficulty, consult your chair's original manual or a qualified technician.

Operating Instructions

The Okin 2-Button Hand Control provides simple operation for your lift chair or power recliner.

"Up" Button: Press and hold the "Up" button (typically the top button) to raise the chair's footrest and/or recline the backrest, or to lift the chair to a standing assist position. Release the button to stop movement.
"Down" Button: Press and hold the "Down" button (typically the bottom button) to lower the chair's footrest and/or bring the backrest upright, or to lower the chair from a standing assist position back to a seated position. Release the button to stop movement.

Always ensure the area around the chair is clear before operating to prevent obstructions or injury.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life of your hand control.

Cleaning: Wipe the hand control with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the control in water.
Cable Management: Avoid kinking, pinching, or excessive pulling on the cable. Ensure it is not caught in moving parts of the chair.
Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the hand control in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable and connector for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. If damage is observed, discontinue use and replace the control.

Troubleshooting

If your hand control is not functioning as expected, try the following troubleshooting steps:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Chair does not move when buttons are pressed.	Chair not plugged in. Loose connection. Power outage. Damaged hand control or cable. Motor or power supply issue.	Ensure chair is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check all cable connections, including the hand control to the motor/control box. Verify power to the outlet. Inspect the hand control and cable for visible damage. Replace if damaged. If other steps fail, the issue may be with the chair's motor or power supply. Consult a qualified technician.
Chair moves intermittently.	Loose connection. Frayed or damaged cable. Faulty button.	Check and secure all connections. Inspect the cable for damage. Replace the hand control if the cable is frayed. If one button works and the other doesn't, the button may be faulty. Replace the hand control.
