TESTING THE DIRECT RESPONSE SYSTEM
It is important to test the Direct Response system periodically to ensure that the
system is working properly. Follow the simple test below.
1. Extend the awning completely.
2. Turn the mode switch to Auto-Retract
ON. Set the sensitivity to the lowest setting.
3. Gently move the roller tube up and down in a vertical motion.
4. If the awning retracts, the system is working properly.
5. If the awning does not retract, contact an authorized Carefree dealer for repairs.
Operate the awning with the Patio switch until the system is repaired.
USING THE KEY FOB REMOTE CONTROL
A remote control Key FOB is available only with the auto-retract
systems. To use: turn system power ON. The remote provides
the advantage of allowing you to operate the awning from any
convenient location.
Two remote styles are used with the Eclipse auto-retract
systems. The 418 MHz transmitter is a flat Key FOB type and
the 433 MHz transmitter both work in the same manner.
The remote has a maximum operating range of 50 feet. Actual
distance may vary depending on the specific installation and location
of the receiver in the vehicle.
To use: turn system power ON at the control panel.
NOTE: Power ON/OFF and the Auto-Retract system and can
only be operated at the control panel.
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 retracted.
Stop
Press and release. During extend and retract functions, the awning may be
stopped by pressing this button.
KEY FOB BATTERIES
The Gray Button remote uses a flat 3V Lithium Battery (p/n CR2032) that should
provide a long period of service. To access: carefully pry off the back of the
case. Lift the circuit board out then slide the old battery out of the battery holder
and slide a new battery in. The + should face away from the circuit board.
The Key FOB 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. Lift the old battery out
and insert the new battery.
Batteries are available through your local battery outlets.
Battery life is dependent on frequency of use, environmental conditions and
condition of remote.
