Child Lock (Remote Lock)

The child lock also known as the remote lock is a safety function of the remote to prevent any accidental button pressing.

When the child lock is activated it makes the remote buttons inactive and unresponsive. so when you press the buttons nothing happens.

Not working remote and blinking remote lights are the signals of active child lock.

• Locate the Lock button on the remote then hold the lock button for 5 seconds.
• The remote backlight will blink twice and your remote is unlocked now.

Pairing Problem

The original remote that comes with the adjustable bed is pre-programmed to operate the bed.

However, if the remote is not paired with the base you can follow these steps to pair the remote with the base.

• Now locate the blue pair button on the cord from the power supply (which could be zip-tied to the bottom of your bed).
