4. Setup and Installation

- Locate the Existing Connector: Identify the 5-pin connector from your lift chair's control box or motor. This is typically located near the chair's base.
- Disconnect Old Remote (if applicable): If replacing an existing remote, carefully unplug its 5-pin connector from the chair.
- Connect New Remote: Align the 5-pin connector of the new AlveyTech remote with the corresponding port on your lift chair. Gently push until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the connection is firm.
- Test Functionality: Once connected, test all buttons on the remote to ensure proper operation of your lift chair's functions.
Ensure the power to the lift chair is disconnected before performing any installation or disconnection procedures to prevent accidental operation or electrical hazards.
5. Operating Instructions
The 12-button layout provides intuitive control over your lift chair's various positions. Refer to the image below for button identification and their corresponding functions.

Button Functions:
- HEADREST Buttons: Adjust the headrest position up or down.
- LUMBAR Buttons: Adjust the lumbar support position in or out.
- BACK Buttons: Recline or bring the backrest forward.
- LEGREST Buttons: Extend or retract the legrest.
- Up/Down Arrow Buttons (Center): Control the overall lift and recline function of the chair. The up arrow lifts the chair, and the down arrow reclines it.
- M1 / M2 Buttons: These are memory preset buttons. To set a memory position, adjust the chair to your desired position, then press and hold either M1 or M2 until the chair briefly moves or beeps, indicating the position is saved. To recall a saved position, simply press the corresponding M1 or M2 button.
USB Charging Port:
The integrated USB port at the top of the remote allows you to charge compatible mobile devices or other small electronics while using your lift chair. Simply connect your device's USB charging cable to the port.
6. Troubleshooting
If your lift chair is not functioning correctly after replacing the hand control, consider the following:
- Verify Connection: Ensure the 5-pin connector is fully and securely plugged into the chair's control system.
- Power Supply: Check that the lift chair is properly plugged into a working power outlet and that the power supply is active.
- Other Components: If the new hand control does not resolve the issue, it is likely that another component of the lift chair system, such as the control box or the motor, may require inspection or replacement.
