Replace battery with correctly specified type. COMPLIANCE STATEMENT This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules / Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Le prsent appareil est conforme aux CNR dIndustrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. Lexploitation est autorise aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) lappareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) lutilisateur de lappareil doit accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique subi, mme si le brouillage est susceptible den compromettre le fonctionnement. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. To satisfy FCC / IC RF exposure requirements, a separation distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended. Les antennes installes doivent tre situes de facon ce que la population ne puisse y tre expose une distance de moin de 20 cm. Installer les antennes de facon ce que le personnel ne puisse approcher 20 cm ou moins de la position centrale de l antenne. La FCC des ltats-unis stipule que cet appareil doit tre en tout temps loign dau moins 20 cm des personnes pendant son functionnement. Do not dispose of in general waste. Please recycle batteries and damaged electrical products appropriately. 2 | Automate Programming Instructions | Li-ion & DC Motors ROLLEASE ACMEDA 12 BATTERY CHECK FUNCTION 12.1 Send Shade to battery charge level 13 CHARGING LED 13.1 Turn Charging LED ON/OFF 14 SLEEP MODE 15 TROUBLE SHOOTING 15 15 15 15 16 16 CONTENTS ASSEMBLY RETROFIT INSTALLATION CHARGING P1 BUTTON FUNCTIONS 1 2 3 4 4.1 Motor state test 4.2 Motor configuration options 5 INITIAL SET UP 5.1 Pair motor with controller 5.2 Check motor direction 5.3 Set Limits 6 ADJUSTING LIMITS 6.1 Adjust upper limit 6.2 Adjust lower limit 4 5 5 6 6 6 7 7 7 8 9 9 9 7 CONTROLLERS AND CHANNELS 10 7.1 Using P2 Button on existing controller to add a new controller or channel 10 7.2 Using a pre-existing controller to add or delete a controller or channel 10 8 FAVORITE POSITIONING 8.1 Set a favorite position 8.2 Send shade to favorite position 8.3 Delete favorite position 9 TILT & ROLLER MODE 9.1 Toggle motor to Tilt Mode 9.2 Toggle Motor to Roller Mode 10 ADJUSTING SPEED 10.1 Increase Motor Speed 10.2 Decrease Motor Speed 11 SOFT STOP CONFIGURATION 11.1 Turn Soft Stop OFF 11.2 Turn Soft Stop ON 11 11 11 11 12 12 12 13 13 13 14 14 14 ROLLEASE ACMEDA Automate Programming Instructions | Li-ion & DC Motors | 3 1 ASSEMBLY ZERO HEAD ADAPTER GENERIC CROWN, DRIVE & TUBE ASSEMBLY ZERO HEAD ANTENNA WRAP 4 | Automate Programming Instructions | Li-ion & DC Motors ROLLEASE ACMEDA 2 RETROFIT INSTALLATION
