Personal injury & Product damage

Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive

atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing
batteries and cause an explosion.

All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such

as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded
chains touches exposed terminals. The material may complete an
electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care
in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a
pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.

REMOTE BATTERY INSTALLATION:
1. Firmly slide battery cover (remote back) down to remove.

note: The audio cable can optionally be used to power the

transmitter directly from the switch assembly.

2. Insert one 9V battery.
3. Replace the battery cover and slide up until secure.
The battery type is 9V alkaline battery which will provide approximately
45 minutes of continuous use.

Sandy/soft/spongy ground may cause jacks to sink; camper may tip over.

Jack must be on firm solid ground prior to operation.

Insure area below and around jack is clear of obstructions.

Do not place blocks under the jack for additional ground clearance.

Always keep the front of camper higher than or equal to the rear

of the camper. Never allow either side or end of camper to be more
than 4˝ out of level (

fig

1. Remove the hand held remote control from its secure compartment.
2. Reinstall battery.
3. Unit is in a low power sleep mode when not in use. To activate the

unit, press the “WAKE” button on the switch assembly. The unit
will awaken and the red ACTIVE LED will illuminate. The unit will
automatically deactivate and enter sleep mode 10 minutes after the
last operation of the system.

4. When finished, the LED on the activation switch must not be lit.
5. Activate the RF transmitter by pressing the POWER+SELECT button.

The transmitter will power up and indicate the green LED.

6. The transmitter can be used to control either JACKS or

ACCESSORIES. When the green LED is active, the transmitter is
controlling JACKS. When the yellow LED is active, the system is
controlling the accessory motors.

7. When controlling jacks, the following operations are possible.

• Extension or retraction of an individual jack.

• Extension or retraction of all 4 jacks.

• Paired operation - adjacent jacks can be operated simultaneously

by holding down two jack buttons.

8. When controlling accessories, only one accessory may be powered at

a time. Multiple accessory button presses are ignored.

OPERATION:
Associate the transmitter with the base receiver:
• Power the system by pressing the WAKE button on the activation
switch (Q). The red ACTIVE LED should blink 2 flashes with a

pause. This indicates that the system is in the default shipment
state, and has no RF transmitter associated with it.
• Power the RF transmitter by pressing the POWER+SELECT button.
The green LED on the transmitter will illuminate. The transmitter will
remain powered for 1 minute.
• Hold down the WAKE button on the activation switch (Q) for 10
seconds. The system will enter LEARN TRANSMITTER mode which
is indicated by the red ACTIVE LED flashing quickly. In this mode,
the base receiver will associate itself with the next transmitter that is
received.
• Press any jack button on the transmitter. The base unit will see the
transmitter and associate itself with it. At this point, the red LED
should be on solid, and the blue LED will indicate detection of
transmitter RF signal.
