Setup

Follow these steps to properly connect your new hand control to your lift chair:

1. Identify the Connector: Locate the existing hand control cable or the connection port on your lift chair's motor. The OKIN hand control features a round 5-pin connector.
2. Connect the Hand Control: Align the 5-pin connector of the new hand control with the corresponding port on the lift chair motor. Gently push until it clicks securely into place. Do not force the connection.
3. Utilize the Quick Disconnect: The hand control features a straight quick disconnect in the middle of the cord. This allows you to separate the control unit from the main cable for storage or safety. Ensure this connection is firmly seated for operation.
4. Route the Cable: Carefully route the cable to prevent it from being pinched or entangled by the chair's moving mechanisms. The quick disconnect can be positioned in the chair's pocket for easy access and removal.
5. Restore Power: Once the hand control is securely connected and the cable is safely routed, restore power to your lift chair.

Operating Instructions

The OKIN Standard Lift Chair Hand Control features a simple two-button operation:

• Up Button: Press and hold the top button (typically marked with an upward arrow) to raise the lift chair or extend the footrest.
• Down Button: Press and hold the bottom button (typically marked with a downward arrow) to lower the lift chair or retract the footrest.
• Green Test Light: A green light located on the hand control illuminates when the buttons are pressed, indicating that the control is sending a signal to the chair's motor. If the light does not illuminate, check connections or power supply.

Child Safety Feature: The quick disconnect allows you to easily detach the hand control from the main cable. This can be done to prevent children from playing with the control and inadvertently operating the lift chair.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your hand control:

• Cleaning: Wipe the hand control with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the unit. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, or for safety, disconnect the hand control using the quick disconnect and store it in a safe, dry place.
• Cord Care: Regularly inspect the cord for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. If damage is observed, discontinue use and replace the unit.

Troubleshooting

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

• No Response from Chair:
  • Ensure the hand control's 5-pin connector is fully and securely plugged into the lift chair motor.
  • Check that the quick disconnect in the middle of the cord is firmly connected.
  • Verify that the lift chair is plugged into a working power outlet and that the power supply to the chair is active.
  • If the green test light on the hand control does not illuminate when buttons are pressed, the control unit itself may be faulty or there's a power issue.
• Intermittent Operation:
  • Check all cable connections for looseness.
  • Ensure the cable is not being pinched or stressed by the chair's movement.
• Chair Moves in Wrong Direction:
  • This is highly unlikely with a standard up/down control. If this occurs, immediately disconnect power to the chair and contact a qualified technician.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it may indicate a fault with the hand control, motor, or power supply. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified service technician for further assistance.
