4.2 Pairing Instructions
The remote control will not function out of the box and must be paired with your adjustable bed base. The pairing process may vary slightly depending on your bed base model. Refer to your bed base's original manual for specific instructions if these steps do not work. A common pairing procedure is as follows:
- Ensure the bed base is plugged into a working power outlet.
- Locate the "Learn" or "Pair" button on the control box of your adjustable bed base. This box is typically located under the bed frame.
- Press and hold the "Learn" or "Pair" button on the bed base control box for approximately 3-5 seconds until an indicator light (usually blue or green) on the control box begins to flash. This indicates the bed base is in pairing mode.
- Within 10 seconds of the light flashing, press and hold the "Head Up" button (or a designated pairing button if present) on your new Richmat HJH173 remote control.
- Hold the button on the remote until the indicator light on the bed base control box stops flashing and remains solid, or until the bed base makes a slight movement. This confirms successful pairing.
- Test the remote control by pressing various function buttons to ensure it operates the bed base correctly.
If pairing is unsuccessful, repeat the steps. Ensure the remote has fresh batteries and you are within close proximity to the bed base control box during the pairing process.
5. Operating Instructions
The Richmat HJH173 remote control features intuitive buttons for adjusting your bed base. The exact layout and functions may vary slightly based on the specific bed base model it is paired with, but common functions include:
