The Remote Control Recliner Chair is a popular choice for those who may have difficulty getting up and out of the recliner. With the push of a button the person can be raised into an upright position to reduce the stress on their back and knees. There are several different models of lift chairs available that offer this feature. Some are tethered and others use an electronic hand control. Many of the more sophisticated models also have a tethered cord attached to the hand control that is designed to prevent it from being lost.

Most of the tethered models of the chair have two large buttons and one toggle on the tethered remote. The top button, labeled LIFT, is used to lift the chair up for a standing position. When seated in the chair and in the full reclining position, pressing the lever down towards the bottom of the remote extends the legrest. When in a fully lifted position, pushing the lever up towards the top of the remote lowers the chair to a seated position and closes the legrest.

When the front of the remote panel is open, the toggle on the left is used to adjust the headrest. Pressing and holding the toggle forward raises the headrest. The back of the panel features a HOME button and two memory buttons. The toggle on the right is used to control the lumbar support. The back of the panel also features a LOCK button to lock the reclining and lifting motions.

If the tethered remote control is lost, the manufacturer offers a replacement for a small fee. However, it is important to know how the system works before you decide to purchase a replacement remote. Firstly, it is important to know that the remote must be plugged into the power cable in order for the chair to work. If you lose the remote, you must take the battery out of the remote and disconnect it from the cable. Then you must reconnect the batteries and plug it in to the chair before it will work again.

The Silver Luxury-Lift Power Recliner offers a tethered remote that has one large button and one toggle. The bottom button is used to lower the chair to a seated position when in a fully lifted position. When seated in the chair and reclining, pressing and holding the toggle down towards the bottom of the remote extends out the legrest. When in a reclined position, pushing the toggle up towards the top of the remote lowers and reclines the chair. Once the chair is in a reclining position, pressing and holding the RECLINE button stops the chair at any reclining position or when fully reclined. The tethered remote also has a HOME button and two memory buttons. This chair is a little more expensive than other models but it does offer additional comfort options such as a reclining and extending headrest. The tethered remote is much easier to keep track of as you don’t have to worry about it being lost in the seat cushions.
