2. Pairing with Adjustable Bed Base
This replacement remote control does not come pre-paired or synced with your adjustable bed base. Pairing is required for the remote to communicate with your bed's control box. The pairing procedure is specific to your adjustable bed base model and is typically performed at the control box itself.
Important: Refer to the original user manual for your adjustable bed base for detailed pairing instructions. Look for sections related to "Remote Control Pairing," "Syncing Remote," or "Connecting New Remote."
If you do not have your bed base's manual, you may be able to find it on the manufacturer's website or by contacting their customer support. Ensure your current remote has the same button layout as the HJH55B to ensure compatibility.
Operating Instructions
The HJH55B remote control provides intuitive operation of your adjustable bed base. Below is a description of each button's function:

- HEAD Up (▲) / Down (▼): Adjusts the head section of the bed upwards or downwards.
- FOOT Up (▲) / Down (▼): Adjusts the foot section of the bed upwards or downwards.
- FLAT: Returns the bed to a completely flat position.

- SET: Used to program or save custom memory positions. Refer to your bed base manual for specific programming instructions.
- ZGRAV (Zero Gravity): Activates a pre-programmed "zero gravity" position, which elevates the head and foot to promote circulation and reduce pressure on the back.
To operate, simply press and hold the desired button until the bed reaches the desired position. Release the button to stop movement.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your remote control.
- Cleaning: Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the remote in water.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the remote's response becomes sluggish or stops working. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new AAA 1.5V batteries. Dispose of old batteries according to local regulations.
