Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to install your new wireless conversion kit:
- Disconnect Power: Unplug your Serta Motion Essentials 1st Gen adjustable bed base from the wall outlet. Ensure no power is supplied to the bed before proceeding.
- Locate Existing Control Box: Identify the original control box on your adjustable bed base. Disconnect any wired remote or power cables from this box.
- Connect New Control Box: Connect the new control box to your adjustable bed base. The new control box is designed to interface with the existing motor connections. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Connect Power: Use your existing power plug and AC adapter to connect the new control box to a wall outlet. If you require a new power plug or AC adapter, these must be acquired separately.
- Pair Remote Control: The wireless remote control should be pre-paired with the control box. If the remote does not respond, locate the 'LEARN' or 'PROGRAM' button on the new control box (typically a small button on the side or bottom). Press and hold this button for approximately 3-5 seconds until an indicator light on the control box flashes. Immediately press any button on the wireless remote control. The indicator light should stop flashing, confirming successful pairing.
- Test Functionality: After pairing, test all functions of the remote control to ensure the bed responds correctly.

- Head Up/Down Buttons: Press and hold the respective buttons to raise or lower the head section of the bed. Release the button when the desired position is reached.
- Foot Up/Down Buttons: Press and hold the respective buttons to raise or lower the foot section of the bed. Release the button when the desired position is reached.
