Syncing the Remote with the Base

To ensure your Richmat HJH173 remote properly communicates with the adjustable bed base, syncing is crucial․ This process typically involves using the control box and the remote simultaneously․ First, locate the red button on the control box of your bed․ On the remote, select any button except for the TV/PC, LOUNGE, FLAT, or ZERO G buttons․ Simultaneously, press and hold both the red button on the control box and your chosen button on the remote; Continue holding both buttons down for approximately five seconds․ This action initiates the syncing process, allowing the remote to pair with the bed base․ This will effectively turn on the connection between the remote and the base․ Once synced, test the remote to verify the bed base responds to the commands․ If the remote does not respond, repeat the syncing procedure․

Programming Preset Positions

The Richmat HJH173 remote often allows users to program preset positions, enabling quick access to preferred bed configurations․ To program a preset, first adjust the bed to the desired position using the head and foot lift controls․ Once the bed is in the correct position, press and hold the “M” button and the button for the preset you wish to program (either M1 or M2)․ Hold these buttons for a few seconds until the remote indicates the setting has been saved, often by a light flashing․ You now have your customized position saved under the chosen preset button․ To recall this position, simply press the corresponding preset button (either M1 or M2)․ This feature allows for easy transitions to your most frequently used positions, enhancing the overall experience and convenience of your adjustable bed․

Operating Multiple Bases with the HJH173 Remote

The Richmat HJH173 remote can be configured to operate multiple adjustable bed bases․ This is achieved by syncing the remote with each base, allowing for simultaneous control or individual adjustments․

Using One Remote for Multiple Bases

The Richmat HJH173 remote offers the convenience of operating multiple adjustable bed bases with a single device․ This feature is particularly useful in scenarios with dual adjustable beds where a single remote can manage both․ To achieve this functionality, the remote needs to be synced with each individual base․ Typically, this involves holding specific buttons on the remote while also activating the pairing button on the control box of each bed base․ The syncing process may vary slightly, but it generally requires a combination of button presses․ Once synced, the remote will control both bases, either simultaneously or independently, depending on the programming․ When using one remote for multiple bases, you should keep any other remotes in a safe place․ For example, you may store a second remote for use as a spare․ When configuring the remote to control more than one base, ensure you follow the correct procedure to avoid any operational issues․ It’s important to note, that the sync cable must be connected to control boxes․

Reverting to 1-to-1 Programming

If you have previously configured your Richmat HJH173 remote to control multiple bed bases and now wish to revert to a 1-to-1 setup, where one remote controls only one base, you’ll need to follow a specific procedure․ The primary step involves disconnecting the sync cable that links the control boxes of the multiple bases․ This cable is what allows a single remote to communicate with and control more than one base․ Once the sync cable is removed, each base will operate independently and need to be paired with a separate remote․ To ensure that only the intended base is controlled by the remote, you may also need to re-pair the remote with the base using the standard pairing procedure․ After removing sync cable you should plug bases back into power outlet․ This typically involves pressing specific buttons on the remote and the control box․ By following these steps, you can effectively revert to a 1-to-1 programming configuration․
