2. Important Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety instructions before installing or operating the control handset. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product or furniture.
- Always ensure the chair is fully assembled and stable before use.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of the chair as specified by the chair manufacturer.
- Exercise caution when operating the chair's motors to prevent pinching or injury. Keep hands and feet clear of moving parts.
- Keep the handset away from liquids and extreme temperatures.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the handset yourself. Contact qualified service personnel for repairs.
3. Setup and Installation
This handset is designed for simple plug-and-play installation. Ensure your power recliner or lift chair is compatible with a 5-pin round plug connection.
- Disconnect Power: Before beginning installation, unplug your recliner or lift chair from the wall outlet to prevent accidental operation.
- Locate Connection Port: Identify the existing handset's connection port, typically located near the motor or power supply unit under the chair. If replacing an old handset, carefully disconnect it.
- Connect New Handset: Align the 5-pin round plug of the Okin handset with the corresponding port on your chair's motor. The 90-degree angle of the plug is designed for easy insertion. Gently push until the connection is secure. Do not force the plug.
- Secure Cabling: Route the handset's cord in a way that it will not be pinched or tangled by the chair's moving parts. Use cable ties if necessary to keep it tidy and secure.
- Restore Power: Once the handset is securely connected and the cabling is managed, plug your recliner or lift chair back into the wall outlet.
