SCREEN OPERATION
Electric Current: Depending on your region, the screen will operate in either 110v or 220v voltage.
1. After ensuring the power outlet & screen are compatible (voltage), plug the power cord into the power
outlet.
2. Once the screen has power, you’ll be able to control it using any of the 4 methods described below.
4 ways to control your Kestrel Tab-Tension 2 CLR® Screen
1. Manual Operation Switch: The left side of the screen's housing includes a UP/STOP/DOWN
switch to raise, lower and stop the screen without the use of the RF/IR remote.
2. RF Remote Control (Item A): The RF (A) remote is best used when the screen is concealed or when
long distance control is required. The RF technology therefore is more versatile as it does not require
line of sight to operate the screen.
3. IR Remote Control (Item B) and IR Eye Receiver
(Item C): The IR remote (B) requires a direct line
of sight through the screen’s IR receiver. Place the IR Eye Receiver (C) in a suitable location free from
obstruction. Then point the IR remote to the IR Eye receiver to operate the screen.
※ IR Eye Receiver has been installed inside the housing on left side (power terminal side)
