functions can be used.  When power is ON, the LED indicator will illuminate.  
The Direct Response Auto-Retract is active when awning power is on. 

 

CAUTION  

Set the power switch be to OFF whenever the 

awning is not being operated and during transport.  This acts as a 
safety to prevent the awning from being accidently opened. 

Extend

  Press and release.  The awning will extend out to the full extension and 

stop automatically. 

During normal operation, the awning will extend out completely then roll 
back slightly to provide tension to the fabric. 

NOTE: 

If the optional Carefree ignition lockout is installed, the system will 

disable the extend function while the vehicle ignition key is in the ON position.  
Functions will return to normal operation when the ignition key is turned OFF.  
Coach manufacturers may install their own lockout design.  Refer to the 
coach literature for AC power for accessories. 

Stop 

Press and release.  During extend and retract functions, the operator may 
stop the awning by pressing this button. 

Retract 

Press and release.  The awning will retract and stop automatically when 
the awning is fully retracted.  When the button is pushed, the LED will 
illuminate and stay on until another function is activated. 

All function buttons are press ON.  The auto-functions continue until the awning is fully 
extended or fully retracted or when the button is pressed a second time to stop the 
function.  It is not necessary to hold the button while the function is active.
