IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read and understand all instructions before using.

2. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.

3. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the appliance should
be used. Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.

4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance. Contact an authorized service dealer
when repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is used
subsequently.

5. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.

SCREEN OPERATION

CAUTION!

!

s

Do not stand over the screen while it is operating.

Do not sit, stand, or put anything on the screen case door.

Do not apply anything (wood finish, carpet, additional laminate, etc.) to the screen case door. Any weight added to the
screen case door may cause the screen to malfunction over time.

The case door activates a safety switch inside the screen case. If you attempt to raise the screen while something is holding
the door shut, the motor will reverse and retract the screen. The door must be fully closed to activate this switch. Be sure
there is nothing holding the door ajar.

1. The Ascender screen can be operated by the included wall switch or by optional remote controls (IR or RF).

2. To raise the screen, simply push and release the wall switch. The screen will stop at its preset position. If you push
the switch a second time while it is rising, the screen will stop. By pushing the switch a third time the screen will
retract and close.

3. To lower the screen from the fully up position, press and release the wall switch and the screen will retract and
close.

4. Test the screen by running it up and down a few times. Be prepared to stop the screen if needed.

NOTE: Excessive continuous operation may cause overheating. If this happens, the motor will shut off until it cools to normal

operating temperature. Standard duty cycle is 1 min. on / 15 min. off.
