Repairs to or replacement of an adjustable
base or its components under the terms of
this limited warranty will apply to the original
warranty period and will not serve to extend
such period.
The decision to repair or to replace defective
parts under this warranty shall be made, or
cause to be made, by L&P at its option and in
its sole discretion.
Repair or replacement shall be the sole remedy
of the purchaser. There shall be no liability
on the part of L&P for any special, indirect,
incidental, or consequential damages or for
any other damage, claim, or loss not expressly
covered by the terms of this warranty.
This limited warranty does not include
reimbursement for inconvenience, removal,
installation, setup time, loss of use, shipping,
or any other costs or expenses. Leggett &
Platt or its service technicians shall not be
responsible for moving furniture or any other
items not attached to the adjustable base in
order to perform service on the adjustable base.
It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser
to provide adequate space and accessibility
to the adjustable base. In the event that the
technician is unable to perform service due
to lack of accessibility, the service call will be
billed to the purchaser and the service will have
to be rescheduled.
L&P makes no other warranty whatsoever,
express or implied, and all implied warranties
of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose are disclaimed by L&P and excluded
from this agreement.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation or exclusion
may not apply to every purchaser.
This warranty gives the purchaser specific legal
rights, and the purchaser may also have other
rights, which may vary from state to state. This
warranty is valid in all 50 states, Puerto Rico,
and Canada.

Thus, on a floor model base, the warranty is a portion of the limited lifetime warranty.
FULL 1 YEAR WARRANTY
This adjustable base is warranted against
defects in the workmanship or materials for
a period of one (1) year from the warranty
commencement date. Upon notice during the
first year after the warranty commencement
date, L&P will repair or replace (at no cost to

receipt of the replacement part. In years 6 -
lifetime, purchaser shall pay all service and
transportation costs related to the replacement
of the defective part.
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This warranty does not apply; (a) to any damage
caused by the purchaser; (b) if there has been
any repair or replacement of adjustable base
parts by an unauthorized person; (c) if the
adjustable base has been mishandled (whether
in transit or by other means), subjected to
physical or electrical abuse or misuse, or
otherwise operated in any manner inconsistent
with the operation and maintenance procedures
outlined in the Owners Manual and this

TROUBLESHOOTING
In the event the adjustable base fails to operate, investigate the symptoms and possible
solutions provided in the chart below:
SYMPTOM SOLUTION
• 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.
• 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 may be too close to the edge of the mattress.
Verify a 1.5” (38.1mm) to 2” (50.8mm) distance
between headboard brackets and mattress. Adjust if
required.
• Verify headboard brackets were removed during
installation. Remove headboard brackets if still
attached to the underneath side of base.
• 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 base frame, verify massage
motors are not causing base frame (or base frame
components) to vibrate.
• Verify that headboard attachment hardware is tightened
firmly (if used).
Remote control illuminates and appears to be
operable, but will not activate base.
No features of the base will activate.
Remote control will not illuminate.
Head or foot section will elevate, but will not
return to the horizontal (flat) position.
Excessive massage motor noise.

ADVISORY
READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
PACEMAKER WARNING
This product produces a vibrating sensation.
It is possible that individuals with heart-assist
pacemakers may experience a sensation similar
to exercise. Consult physician for complete
information.
HOSPITAL USE DISCLAIMER
This base is designed for in-home use only. It
is not approved for hospital use and does not
comply with hospital standards. Do not use this
base with tent type oxygen therapy equipment,
or use near explosive gases.
SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
Service technicians are not responsible for
moving furniture, removing headboards and
footboards or any items required to perform
maintenance on the base. In the event the
technician is unable to perform service due
to lack of accessibility, the service call will
be billed to the purchaser and the service will
have to be rescheduled.
FCC COMPLIANCE
Components meet Class B digital device
rating (Part 15, FCC rules) for residential use.
Adjustable bases generate, use and may radiate
radio frequency energy. Radio communication
may be affected if not installed and operated
as recommended in this manual. Changes
or modifications not approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Radio frequency = 310MHz.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
SMALL CHILDREN / PETS WARNING
After the base is unboxed, immediately dispose
of packaging material as it can smother small
children and pets. To avoid injury, children or
pets should not be allowed to play under or on
the base. Children should not operate this base
without adult supervision.
FIGURE 1: Pinch point areas.
DURING BASE OPERATION, GAPS (PINCH
POINTS) ARE CREATED (FIGURE 1). A CHILD,
A PERSON’S LIMB, OR A PET CAN BECOME
ENTRAPPED AT THESE LOCATIONS. DURING
USE, AND WHEN BASE IS IN THE RAISED
POSITION, ALWAYS KEEP GAP AREAS (PINCH
POINTS) CLEAR AND KEEP ALL LIMBS ON
TOP OF BASE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS
WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
PINCH POINT WARNING
Designer Series™99301294

ACOUSTICS
LIFTING/LOWERING MECHANISMS
The lift/lower feature will emit a minimal
humming sound during operation. This is
normal.
During operation, the lift arm wheels make
contact with the platform support of the base.
This applies slight tension on the moving
components and resonance is reduced to a
minimum level. If excessive noise or vibration
is experienced, reverse the movement action
(up or down) of the base with the hand control.
This should realign the base’s activating
mechanisms to the proper operational position.
MASSAGE OPERATION
The massage feature will emit a minimal tone
during operation. This is normal. When the
massage level is increased, motor resonance
will intensify accordingly.
LOCATION ENVIRONMENT
The level of sound experienced during
operation is directly related to the location
environment. For example, when a base is
located on a hardwood floor with the massage
feature in operation, a vibrating tone will be
audible. To minimize this resonance, place a
piece of carpet, or rubber caster cups, under
each leg or caster of the base.
It is possible to experience vibration or noise
from the headboard brackets, headboards or
footboards if mounting bolts are not firmly
tightened.
FABRIC CLEANING INFORMATION
Spot clean only with water based shampoo
or foam upholstery cleaner. Pretest a small,
inconspicuous area before proceeding. Do
not over wet. Do not use solvents to spot
clean. Pile fabrics may require brushing with
a non-metallic, stiff bristle brush to restore
appearance. Hot water extraction or steam
cleaning is not a recommended cleaning
method.
To prevent overall soiling, frequent vacuuming
or light brushing with a non-metallic stiff
bristle brush to remove dust and grime is
recommended. When cleaning a spill, blot
immediately to remove spilled material. Clean
spots or stains from the outside to the middle
of the affected area to prevent circling. Use a
professional furniture cleaning service when an
overall soiled condition is apparent.

AC J BOX / DC MOTOR without power down box PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
When programming the remote control, unplug
the adjustable base electrical power cord. Wait
30 seconds, then plug the cord back into the
power source. This process automatically sets
the bed to the program mode for 90 seconds.
For convenience, use this procedure in lieu of
pressing the learn button (located on the AC
J Box, mounted to the underside of the base
frame).
Note that this programming feature is only
applicable to bases without a power down box.
Power down equipped adjustable bases require
use of the learn button on the power down box
when programming the remote control.
In case of a power outage, press and hold the
learn button on the power down box to lower
the base to the flat position (FIGURE 12).
This function is only for lowering the base and
will not operate the base to any other position.
The two (2) 9 volt batteries should be replaced
after this function is used.
In the event the power down feature does not
work, check to make sure the two (2) 9 volt
batteries are good.
The power down box is factory wired to the motor,
but the box itself is mobile and can be placed
anywhere under the adjustable base on the floor.
Position the power down box near your remote
control when programming for best results.
