????️ What the Richmat HJC26 Remote Controls

The HJC26 remote typically works in tandem with a Richmat HJC26C BLE control box, found in many adjustable beds sold by major brands. It’s used to wirelessly control the motors that raise and lower the head and foot of the bed, activate massage modes, set memory positions, and more.

The remote is usually pre-paired at the factory, but if you're setting it up or need to re-pair it, the included manual (or the PDF version online) will guide you through that.

????️ Understanding the Button Layout

Here's a breakdown of the most common buttons on the HJC26 remote and what they do:

Button	Function
HEAD ↑ / ↓	Raises or lowers the head of the bed
FOOT ↑ / ↓	Raises or lowers the foot of the bed
FLAT	Returns bed to a completely flat position
ZG (Zero Gravity)	Elevates legs and reclines head to relieve pressure on the spine
ANTI-SNORE	Slightly elevates the head to open airways and reduce snoring
M1 / M2	Memory buttons that save your favorite positions
Massage ON/OFF	Starts or stops massage function
Massage INTENSITY + / –	Adjusts the strength of massage vibrations
WAVE	Cycles massage through wave patterns for varied relief
Timer (10, 20, 30 min)	Auto-shuts off massage after selected duration
Underbed Light	Turns on ambient lighting under the bed
Flashlight	Activates a small built-in flashlight on the remote (if included)

Note: Button layouts can vary slightly depending on your bed manufacturer or version of the HJC26 remote.

???? How to Save and Use Memory Positions

The Richmat HJC26 remote allows you to save custom positions using M1 or M2.

How to Save a Position:

Adjust the head and foot of the bed to your desired position.
Press and hold the FLAT button and either M1 or M2 at the same time.
Hold for about 3–5 seconds until you hear a beep (or see a light blink).

Now, pressing M1 or M2 will automatically return the bed to that saved position.

Tip:

Use M1 for your favorite sleeping position and M2 for reading or watching TV.

???? Using the Massage Functions

Massage features vary depending on your bed’s motor system. If supported:

Turn on Massage: Press the Massage ON button (or individual “Head Massage” or “Foot Massage” buttons if available).
Adjust Intensity: Use + / – buttons to increase or decrease strength.
Wave Mode: Press WAVE to alternate between massage zones in a soothing rhythm.
Set Timer: Choose 10, 20, or 30 minutes—massage will stop automatically.

Pro Tip:

Use the massage timer when winding down for bed to avoid waking up in the middle of the night to turn it off manually.

???? Lighting and Flashlight

Under-Bed Lighting: Helps you navigate in the dark without disturbing your partner.
- Toggle on/off using the Light button.
Flashlight: A small LED on the top or back of the remote (if equipped).
- Press and hold the Flashlight button to activate.

This feature is especially handy for checking cables, reading at night, or navigating the bedroom without overhead lights.

???? Reset and Re-Pairing the Remote

If your remote stops working:

1. Check Batteries

Replace with fresh AAA batteries.
Weak battery can cause unresponsiveness even if the lights still flash.

2. Re-Pair Remote to Control Box

Refer to your manual for the exact steps. A general re-pairing process looks like:

Unplug the bed from power.
Plug it back in and press the pairing button on the control box (usually a small pinhole button).
While the light on the control box is flashing, press and hold any button on the remote for a few seconds.
You should hear a beep or see an indicator blink to confirm pairing.

If it doesn’t work, refer to your Richmat HJC26C manual PDF (or contact the bed manufacturer).

???? Care and Maintenance Tips

Keep it dry: The remote is not waterproof. Avoid spills.
Clean with a dry cloth: Don’t use harsh chemicals or submerge it.
Store safely: Use a bedside remote holder or shelf. Dropping it may damage internal components.

???? Troubleshooting Quick Guide

Problem	Solution
Bed doesn’t respond	Check power, replace batteries, re-pair remote
One motor works, other doesn’t	Inspect cable connections to control box
Massage not working	Ensure motors are connected, try different mode or timer
Remote not lighting up	Replace batteries, check polarity (+/-)
