3. Remove Old Switch: Carefully detach the old switch. This may involve unscrewing it from its housing or gently prying it out. Disconnect its cable from the furniture's motor system.
4. Connect New Switch: Connect the 5-pin connector of the MLSK46-C switch to the corresponding port on your furniture's motor system. Ensure the connection is secure.
5. Secure New Switch: Mount the new MLSK46-C switch into the designated opening. Ensure it is flush and securely fastened.

3. Operating Instructions

The MLSK46-C switch features a 6-button interface for comprehensive control of your dual motor recliner and an integrated USB charging port.

Figure 3: Button layout and functions of the MLSK46-C switch. The four outer buttons control the independent movement of the two motors (e.g., footrest and backrest). The central USB port provides power for charging devices. The small button below the USB port functions as a child lock and a one-key reset for external device power.

Button Functions:

• Outer Buttons (4): These buttons control the movement of the two independent motors. Typically, two buttons control the footrest (extend/retract) and the other two control the backrest (recline/upright). Press and hold the desired button to move the furniture to your preferred position. Release the button to stop movement.
• USB Charging Port: Located in the center, this port allows you to charge compatible electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets) while using your furniture.
• Child Lock / Reset Button: The small button below the USB port serves as a child lock to prevent accidental operation and can also function as a one-key reset for the external device power supply (USB).

4. Care and Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Mulin MLSK46-C switch.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the switch. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by drying thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
• Corrosion Resistance: The Nickel-plated finish provides superior protection against wear and oxidation. However, avoid exposing the switch to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically check the connecting cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. If damage is observed, discontinue use and replace the switch.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your MLSK46-C switch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power to Switch/Furniture Not Responding:
  • Ensure the furniture is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check all cable connections, especially the 5-pin connector, to ensure they are fully seated.
  • Verify that the power adapter is functioning correctly.
• Buttons Not Responding:
  • Confirm the child lock feature is not engaged (if applicable).
  • Ensure the switch is correctly installed and connected to the motor system.
  • If only one motor is not responding, the issue might be with that specific motor or its connection.
• USB Port Not Charging:
  • Ensure the furniture has power.
  • Try pressing the reset button below the USB port.
  • Test with a different USB cable and device to rule out external issues.
  • A damaged USB port often requires replacement of the entire switch unit.
• Compatibility Issues:
  • If the switch does not fit or function as expected, double-check the model number and connector type against your original part.
  • Contact customer service for assistance with compatibility verification.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Mulin Electric customer support for further assistance.
