Extend
Stop
Retract
A. TO EXTEND: Place the awning in the Manual Mode
by depressing the 3 position rocker switch on the Power
Control Switch Panel that is marked “Manual“. (figure 16)
Press the top button or “EXTEND” button on the
Remote Control. Hold down the button until the awning
reaches full extension. Jog the bottom “RETRACT” but-
ton slightly to tighten canopy.
B. TO RETRACT: Press the bottom “RETRACT”
button. Hold button down for 2 seconds until the awning
starts to retract. Once the awning starts retracting, the
remote will automatically “latch” in place. After 2
seconds, once the awning starts to retract, release the
button and the awning will continue to retract. DO NOT
CONTINUE TO HOLD DOWN ON THE RETRACT
BUTTON ONCE THE AWNING BEGINS TO RETRACT!
DOING SO WILL NOT ALLOW THE AWNING TO
RETRACT PROPERLY! If stopping the awning from
retracting is desired at any point, press the “RETRACT”
button again, or press the center “STOP” button. Once
fully retracted, place switch panel in the OFF position.
STOP BUTTON
The center STOP BUTTON can be used to stop the
awning at any time during retraction. The STOP
BUTTON will stop the awning from retracting in
either the MANUAL OR THE AUTO RETRACT MODE.
Emergency Retraction of Awning
If an alternative minimum 12 volt power source is
available:
If power from the RV is unavailable for operation, the
Carefree ONE-Touch awning can be safely retracted by
disconnecting the power plug (located on the outside
of wall of RV) and applying a positive and negative
12-volts to the two terminals located on the bottom
side of the motor housing.
Using the jumper cables provided attach a jumper lead to
each of the terminals. Connect other ends of jumper Ca-
bles to a minimum 12V source. If the awning does not
retract reverse the leads.
Caution: Be careful when retracting the awning in this
manner as the awning may move abruptly; it will be
necessary to maintain contact with each of the two
screw terminals throughout the retraction process.
If no alternative 12 volt power source is available:
If power from the RV is unavailable for operation and no
alternative 12 Volt power source is available,
The Carefree ONE-Touch awning can be safely retracted
by disconnecting the power plug (located on the outside of
wall of RV) and using a reversible electric drill fitted with
the straight 9/64” hex key provided to turn the motor or
using the L shaped hex key and turning it by hand.
The portion of the motor that can be turned is
accessible though an opening at the base of the motor
housing.
Caution: Operate the drill in reverse at a low power
setting to retract the awning. It will be necessary to
turn the motor with the drill throughout the retraction
