OPERATION
This section pertains to the operation of the Park-Daddy® Vehicle Parking System
with the Infrared Head Units mounted in the garage to notify the operator of a
vehicle when the rear bumper has cleared the garage door opening.
Before using the Park-Daddy® for the first time, release the garage door from
the garage door opener and manually check the clearance between the vehicles
and the garage door.
For operation as an invisible barrier in the front and the side of the vehicle, please
refer to the Alternative Uses section.
1.
With the Infrared Head Units mounted and the RF Radio Receiver plugged
into the DC cigarette lighter port and the Status Indicator on the RF Radio
Receiver is glowing Green, drive the vehicle slowly into the garage. When
the infrared beams are blocked by the vehicle, the Status Indicator on the
RF Radio Receiver will glow Red and the warning tone will sound.
2.
Proceed into the garage slowly. Once the Status Indicator has returned to
glowing Green and the warning tone stops, stop the vehicle.
3.
VEHICLES WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS:
After you have stopped your vehicle, place the transmission into the Park
position and take your foot off the brake pedal, to allow for any roll back.
Make sure the Status Indicator is glowing Green. Now you can turn off your
vehicle.
VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS:
After you have stopped your vehicle, either set your parking brake or put
your vehicle in gear, turn off the motor, keep the ignition switch in the
accessory position to allow power to the DC cigarette lighter port and take
your foot off the brake and clutch peddles, to allow for any roll back. Make
sure the Status Indicator is glowing green. Now you can turn your ignition
switch completely off.
4.
Now it is safe to close your garage door.
