WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY & PRODUCT DAMAGE

Do not replace or charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmos-
phere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing bat-
teries 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.

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

KEY FOB BATTERY INSTALLATION:
1. Using a Phillips small tip screwdriver, remove the screw at the bottom

of the key fob remote.

2. Using a standard (thin) blade screwdriver carefully pry apart the two

halves of the remote case.

3. Carefully lift the front half of the case away from the bottom case to

expose the circuit board and battery.

4. The battery is type 23, (12 volt). Remove the battery from the holder

making note of the polarity. Install the new battery into the case and
re-assemble the enclosure and install the screw.

NOTE

: Remove batteries before storing your remote for extended periods.

Batteries corrode over time and may cause permanent damage to
your remote.

DIP SWITCHES
The wireless remote and power relay module are equipped with dip
switches. For the unit to operate, the switches in both units must be set
to the same code.

NOTE

: The code for all units is preset at the factory prior to delivery. If

you frequently camp next to other RV’s equipped with the Atwood
remote control set the remote and power relay to a unique code to
avoid actuating other campers near you.

TO SET DIP SWITCHES:

NOTE

: Key Fob does not have dip switches.

POWER RELAY MODULE

- Determine a code and record it. Locate the dip

switches (

FIG

4-K & 6-K). To set the dip switches, slide the individual dip

switch to the up position which is ON or keep in the down position
which is OFF. Dip switches can be moved easily with a ball point pen or
other small pointed instrument.

REMOTE

- Using a phillips screw driver, remove the four screws in the

four corners of the remote. Take off the back cover to expose the dip
switches (

FIG

4-A insert). Set the dip switches to the same code as the

power relay module. Replace the back cover and install the four
screws. Ensure the screws are evenly tightened.
