Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Control unit is not responding. | Recliner is not plugged in or power outlet is not active. Loose connections. | Ensure the recliner is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Check that all 2-pin and 5-pin connectors are firmly seated. |
| Buttons operate in reverse (e.g., 'up' moves down). | This can sometimes occur with replacement units due to manufacturing variations. | While not ideal, this is often a functional issue that users can adapt to. If this significantly impacts usability, contact customer support. |
| USB port is not charging devices. | Device not compatible, cable faulty, or recliner not powered. | Ensure the recliner is powered on. Try a different USB cable or device to rule out cable/device issues. |
| Control unit does not fit or connect. | Incorrect model replacement. | Verify that your original hand control model number matches CTR UR2 08 MW. This unit is not compatible with CTR UR2 08 BA. |
