Setup
Before installation, ensure your lift chair or power recliner is compatible with a 4-button, 5-pin round plug remote control. Disconnect power to the chair before proceeding.
- Identify the Connection: Locate the existing remote control cable connection on your lift chair. It should be a 5-pin round male plug.
- Connect the New Remote: Align the 5-pin round female connector of the Fruhdi MLSK13-B remote with the male plug on your chair. Gently push until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the connection is firm.
Image: Example of a 90-degree 5-pin round connector. Verify your chair's connection type for proper fit.
Note: Some chairs may have a straight plug connection, while this remote may feature a 90-degree plug. Confirm compatibility with your chair's design to ensure the plug can be securely latched.
Operating Instructions
The Fruhdi MLSK13-B remote control features four buttons to operate two independent motors, typically controlling the headrest and power recline/footrest functions of your chair. The buttons are backlit for ease of use in low light conditions.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Liquid Exposure: Keep the remote control away from liquids to prevent damage to internal components.
- Cable Care: Avoid bending or twisting the cable excessively. Ensure the cable is not pinched or caught under the chair, which could lead to damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Remote is not responding. | Loose or disconnected cable. No power to the chair. | Ensure the 5-pin plug is securely connected to the chair's assembly. Verify the chair is plugged into a working power outlet. |
| Buttons are reversed or not performing expected function. | Compatibility issue with chair's wiring. | This remote is designed for specific wiring configurations. If buttons are reversed, contact customer support for assistance. |
| Remote plug does not stay securely connected. | Incompatible plug angle (e.g., 90-degree plug on a chair designed for a straight plug). | Ensure the plug type (straight vs. 90-degree) is compatible with your chair's connection point and allows for secure latching. If not, contact customer support. |
