Operating Instructions
After successful installation, you will need to pair your remote control with the new control box.
Remote Pairing
The pairing process may vary slightly depending on your specific remote model. Generally, follow these steps:
- Ensure the bed base is powered on.
- Locate the pairing button on the control box. This is often a small button, sometimes recessed, labeled "Pair" or "Learn".

- Press and hold the pairing button on the control box for approximately 3-5 seconds until an indicator light (often blue or green) begins to flash.
- Immediately after the light flashes, press and hold the "Pair" or "Learn" button on your remote control (or a combination of buttons as specified by your remote's manual).
- The indicator light on the control box should stop flashing and remain solid, or the bed base may briefly move, indicating successful pairing.
- Test all functions on your remote control to ensure proper operation of the bed base.
If pairing fails, repeat the steps. Ensure the remote has fresh batteries.
