1. While observing the control panel, have a second person initiate 110VAC power to the coach and
awning system. The following should occur:
1.1 The System Indicator and Sensitivity Level LEDs will briefly illuminate.
1.2 The system then goes to the default settings: The default settings are the last known state when
the AC power source was suspended. Example: If power was "ON" and the sensitivity was set to
"2", when AC power is applied, power will be on and sensitivity will be set to "2".
2. If ON, press the P

LEDs should be extinguished. The P
