• Verify power cord is plugged into a working, grounded
electrical outlet. A grounded, electrical surge protection
device is recommended. Test outlet by plugging in
another working appliance.
• If the base was operated over the rated duty cycle,
thermal switch opens. Wait 30 minutes before trying
to operate the base. Once the base resumes normal
operation, do not exceed the duty cycle.
• Program the remote control (see Remote Control
Programming section of this manual for programming
procedures).
• Unplug power cord, wait 30 seconds and plug in to
reset electronic components.
• Electrical circuit breaker may be tripped. Check
electrical service breaker box to verify.
• Defective surge protection device or electrical outlet.
Test outlet by plugging in another working appliance.
• Replace batteries in the remote control.
• Base mechanism may be obstructed. Elevate base and
check for obstruction. Remove obstruction.
• Head section may be too close to the wall.
• Headboard (if used) may be too close the edge of the
mattress. Verify a 1.5" (38.1mm) to 2" (50.8mm)
distance between headboard brackets and mattress.
Adjust if required.
• If base is located on hard surface flooring, place carpet
pieces or rubber caster cups under each leg or caster
of the base. (See accessory section of this manual for
rubber caster cup order information.)
• Elevate the head or foot section a short distance (with
the remote control) to realign the lift/lower mechanisms
with the base support platform.
• Verify that the base is not positioned against a wall,
nightstand, or other object that may cause vibration or
noise.
• If base is installed over a bed frame, verify massage
motors are not causing bed frame (or bed frame
components) to vibrate.
• Verify that headboard attachment hardware is tightened
firmly (if used).
