Mode Switch
This is a 3-position switch.
OFF
...................... The center position shuts the system down. The awning cannot be extended or retracted in this
mode. It is strongly recommended that the switch be in this position whenever the awning is not
used and during transport. This will prevent the awning from accidentally extending.
POWER ON
..........The bottom position activates the switch controls.
WIND SMART ON
... The top position activates the switch controls and the
Wind Smart Auto-Retract system.
When the switch is placed in the POWER ON or WIND SMART ON
position, the switch will illuminate to indicate the system is on.
