1 Introduction
1INTRODUCTION
Carefree of Colorado strives to design high quality, versatile products that stand the test of time. We
already offer a variety of customizable awnings to complement your RV, and now, with the Carefree BT12
Wireless Awning Control System you have complete control of your awnings.
The BT12 Wireless Control System offers several options to enhance your awning experience. OEM’s may
install these options as a standard offering or they can be added to your system at a later date. Contact
your Carefree sales rep about these options.
The BT12 Wireless Awning Control System offers multiple methods of operating the awning, including
standard switch operation, the Carefree Connects Mobile App, and the BT Remote.
2COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION GUIDE
NOTE: Illustrations in this manual shows the standard Carefree switches. Some OEM’s may choose to furnish
their own switches or incorporate the power and Extend/Retract controls in a multiplexing control system. The
directions are valid for all configurations.

2.1 A DDITIONAL S YSTEM F EATURES
2.1.1 I GNITION L OCKOUT
The BT12 Control System provides two options for transportation safety using ignition lockout.
Standard - The system disables the extend function while the vehicle ignition key is in the ON position.
RTL – The system fully retracts the awning and disables the extend function when the vehicle ignition key is in the
ON position.
Functions will return to normal operation when the ignition key is turned OFF.
Contact your vehicle dealer to find out if you have the ignition lockout option connected and which version is
active in your vehicle.
2.1.2 LED’S
White (monotone) LEDs are a popular option providing lighting beneath the awning. Factory installed LEDs
are located on the leading edge (roller tube or lead rail) or can be mounted at the awning rail when present.
The BT12 Control System provides controls to allow you to set the lights to match your preference with
ON/OFF and dimming controls through the app and/or the BT Remote.
To operate the White LED lights, you must have the awning lights power switch ON.
NOTE: Some OEMS may furnish their own switch that may appear differently than
the switch pictured or may have the LED’s operated through a multiplexing control
center.
The factory default for the lights is full bright. When the light is adjusted with the BT
Remote or the app, the system will remember the setting for the next time the
lights are turned on.
