Compatibility
This replacement remote control is specifically designed to work with the Serta Motion Essentials 4th and 5th generation adjustable bed bases that include massage functionality.

Setup and Pairing Instructions
To pair your new Serta Motion Essentials 4 (IV) remote control with your adjustable bed base, follow these general steps. Specific instructions may vary slightly; always refer to the documentation provided with your bed base or the remote itself for precise details.
- Install Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote and insert the required batteries (typically Lithium, as per specifications). Ensure correct polarity.
- Locate Control Box: Find the control box attached to your adjustable bed base. This is usually located underneath the bed frame.
- Initiate Pairing on Control Box: Press and hold the pairing button on the control box. The indicator light on the control box should begin to flash.
- Initiate Pairing on Remote: While the control box light is flashing, press and hold the 'FLAT' button on your new remote control.
- Confirm Pairing: The indicator light on the control box should stop flashing and remain solid, or the bed may respond, indicating successful pairing.
If pairing is unsuccessful, repeat the steps. Ensure the remote is within range of the bed base during the pairing process.

Operating Instructions
The remote control features clearly labeled buttons for intuitive operation:
- HEAD Up/Down Arrows: Use these buttons to raise or lower the head section of your adjustable bed.
- FOOT Up/Down Arrows: Use these buttons to raise or lower the foot section of your adjustable bed.
- FLAT Button: Press this button to quickly return both the head and foot sections of the bed to a completely flat position.
- ZERO G Button: This button activates the 'Zero Gravity' preset position, which elevates the head and foot to a position that may relieve pressure on the back and improve circulation. This button may also activate massage or vibration functions depending on your bed base model.
- Vibration/Massage Function: Some models may offer a vibration or massage feature. If available, this is typically activated by pressing the 'ZERO G' button multiple times to cycle through different modes or intensities. Refer to your bed base manual for specific activation details.
