Abstract

A remote control set is provided for two like or similar devices, each of which is adjustable by remote control independently of the other, for example beds in a room. Normally, each operator controls the functions of his/her device by means of his/her remote control transmitter, and only if necessary will he/she control the functions of the device of the partner. Erroneous operation of the partner's device is thus prevented to the greatest possible extent. For this purpose, a pushbutton switch is provided in each of the two remote control transmitters. When and as long as the pushbutton switch of the one transmitter is actuated, it controls the functions of the receiver of the partner.
