Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to connect your new power remote handset to your La-Z-Boy recliner.
- Locate the existing remote connection: On your La-Z-Boy power recliner, locate the existing remote control cable and its connection point, typically found underneath the chair or near the motor assembly.
- Disconnect the old remote (if applicable): Carefully unplug the old remote control cable from its receptacle. Ensure the power to the chair is disconnected before performing this step.
- Connect the new remote: Align the connector plug of the Model 11850U-07 handset with the receptacle on the chair. Gently push the plug in until it is securely seated. The connector is designed to fit in only one orientation.
- Secure the cable: Route the cable in a way that prevents it from being pinched or tangled during chair operation.
- Restore power: Plug the recliner's power cord back into the electrical outlet.

Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your remote handset.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to spot clean the remote's surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the electronics.
- Cord Care: Ensure the coiled cord is not stretched excessively or subjected to sharp bends, which can damage the internal wiring. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cord.
- Storage: When not in use, place the remote in a safe location where it will not be dropped or exposed to extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
If your remote handset is not functioning correctly, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Response from Chair:
- Ensure the recliner's power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- Check that the remote handset's connector plug is fully and securely inserted into the chair's receptacle.
- Inspect the remote's cable for any visible damage, such as cuts or pinches.
- Intermittent Functionality:
- Wiggle the remote's connector plug gently to see if it restores function. A loose connection can cause intermittent operation.
- If the issue persists, the remote itself may be faulty.
- Specific Buttons Not Working:
- If only certain buttons fail to respond, the internal contacts for those buttons may be worn or damaged.
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, the remote handset may need to be replaced. This model is a direct replacement for the original La-Z-Boy 11850U-07 and 11850U-00 remotes.
