Understanding Remote Versions: Standard vs. Version B
It is crucial to select the correct remote version to ensure proper operation with your lift chair. This remote is Version B.
- Standard Version: If pressing the backrest recline buttons also controls the footrest position (both recline together), you need the Standard Version remote.
- Version B (This Product): If your chair has separate controls for the backrest and footrest (incline and decline buttons for each), then this Version B remote is appropriate.
Using the wrong version may cause unintended behavior (e.g., selecting the standard version for a Version B remote might cause the calf rest to rise with the backrest).

Setup Instructions
- Verify Compatibility: Confirm your existing remote uses a 7-pin round male plug and your chair requires independent control for the backrest and footrest (Version B functionality).
- Power Off Chair: For safety, ensure your lift chair is unplugged from the power outlet before proceeding.
- Locate Connection Port: Identify the remote control connection port on your lift chair. This is typically located near the motor or under the chair.
- Disconnect Old Remote (if applicable): If replacing an old remote, carefully disconnect its plug from the chair's port.
- Connect New Remote: Align the 7-pin round male plug of the Fruhdi DL-SK-109 remote with the chair's connection port. Push the plug firmly and straight into the port until it is fully seated. Do not force the connection.
- Restore Power: Once the remote is securely connected, plug your lift chair back into the power outlet.
- Test Functionality: Test all buttons on the new remote to ensure they operate the chair's functions as expected.
