The system is active when the awning power is on and disabled when the power
is shut off. To turn on the system, press the power button ON.
The
Direct Response
system detects awning
motion caused by windy conditions. The motion
sensor is located in the lead rail. The system
operates by gauging the vertical motion of the
awning’s leading edge. When persistent motion
exceeds the factory preset threshold, the system
retracts the awning. The control panel provides
4 factory preset sensitivity values (threshold
values). You may have to experiment to find the
best setting for your preferences.
Low
The lower the selection, less motion is required before the system closes
automatically.
High
The higher the selection, more motion is required before the system closes
automatically.
NOTE:
If the Indicator LED flashes (slow pulse), this indicates that a motion sensor
has been disengaged or otherwise disabled; the affected awning(s) are not protected by
the auto-retract system. The awning must be retracted using the command buttons.
Immediately contact a Carefree service center for service.

ONTROL
A remote control Key FOB is furnished with the
Direct Response
system. In simple
terms, the Key FOB is a wireless switch that functions in the same manner that the
stationary touchpad does. The Key FOB provides the advantage of allowing you to
operate the awning from any convenient location. To use: turn system power ON.
Extend
Press and release. The awning will extend out to the
full extension and stop automatically.
Retract
Press and release. The awning will retract and stop
automatically when the awning is fully closed.
Stop
Press and release. During extend and retract
functions, the awning may be stopped by pressing
this button.
NOTE:
Power ON/OFF and the Auto-Retract system can
only be operated at the control panel.
Key FOB Battery
The Key FOB remote w/ antenna uses a battery (Radio Shack p/n 23-279 or
equivalent) that should provide a long period of service. To access: Remove the
small screw from the back of the case and carefully snap off the back. Replace
battery. Batteries are available through your local battery outlets.
Battery life is dependent on frequency of use, environmental conditions and
condition of remote.
