Electrical Safety Guidelines
Prioritizing electrical safety is paramount when operating your Serta Motion Perfect 2 adjustable base. Always ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet, and avoid using extension cords or adapters.

Avoid using oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dust and grime, potentially causing issues over time.
Ensure the lubricant doesn’t come into contact with electrical components or the mattress. Wipe away any excess lubricant after application. Regular lubrication contributes to quieter operation and extends the lifespan of your adjustable base.
Replacing the Remote Control
A compatible replacement remote is essential for controlling your Serta Motion Perfect 2 base; ensure version matching (II or III) for proper programming and functionality.
Finding a Compatible Replacement
Locating a suitable replacement remote for your Serta Motion Perfect 2 adjustable base requires careful attention to detail. First, confirm your base’s remote version – either Version 2 (II) or Version 3 (III). The replacements are not universally interchangeable. Online retailers specializing in adjustable base parts are excellent resources, as are the manufacturers themselves.
When searching, utilize specific keywords like “Serta Motion Perfect 2 remote replacement” along with the version number. Visually compare the new remote’s image to your original to verify button layout and overall design. Avoid generic remotes, as they often lack the necessary programming compatibility for full functionality.
Remote Programming Instructions
Programming a new remote to your Serta Motion Perfect 2 base typically involves a synchronization process. Begin by ensuring the base is powered on. Locate the “Pair” or “Sync” button on the base’s control box – consult your base’s manual for its exact location. Press and hold this button until an indicator light begins to flash.
Simultaneously, press and hold the “Power” button on the new remote. Continue holding both buttons until the base acknowledges the signal, usually with a beep or a change in the indicator light. If unsuccessful, repeat the process, ensuring close proximity between the remote and the base.
Battery Backup System
The integrated battery backup allows for limited adjustability during power outages, specifically returning the base to a flat position for safety and convenience.
Understanding the Battery Backup Function
The Serta Motion Perfect 2 incorporates a battery backup system designed as a safety feature, not a full operational replacement for AC power. Its primary function is to allow you to lower the adjustable base to its flat position should a power outage occur while the base is raised.
This prevents potential entrapment or injury. The battery isn’t intended to power all base functions indefinitely; it provides a limited operational window solely for returning to a safe, horizontal position. Regular testing, as outlined in the manual, is crucial to ensure the battery remains functional when needed.
Testing the Battery Backup
To test the battery backup on your Serta Motion Perfect 2, first, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then, using the remote control, attempt to raise either the head or foot of the base. If the battery is functioning correctly, the base should respond and move.
Observe if the base can be fully lowered back to its flat position using the remote while still unplugged. This confirms the battery’s ability to return the base to a safe state during a power failure. Repeat this test periodically – at least every three months – to verify continued functionality.
Battery Replacement Procedure
To replace the battery in your Serta Motion Perfect 2, locate the battery compartment – typically on the underside of the control box. Gently open the compartment and note the battery type required (refer to your manual for specifics). Carefully remove the old battery, observing the correct polarity (+ and -).
Insert the new battery, ensuring correct alignment. Close the battery compartment securely. Test the base functionality with the remote to confirm the new battery is working. Dispose of the old battery responsibly, following local regulations for battery recycling.
