Setup
- Battery Installation: The fob typically comes with a pre-installed battery (CR2032 coin cell). If replacement is needed, carefully open the fob casing, replace the old battery with a new CR2032, ensuring correct polarity, and securely close the casing.
- Pairing with Power-Pole System:
- Ensure your Power-Pole anchor system is powered on.
- Refer to your Power-Pole anchor system's main control unit manual for specific pairing instructions. Generally, this involves pressing a pairing button on the control unit, then simultaneously pressing both buttons on the remote fob until a confirmation signal (e.g., LED flash, audible beep) is received.
- Test the remote's functionality by pressing the 'Up' and 'Down' buttons to ensure the anchor responds correctly.
Operating Instructions
The Power-Pole Remote Control Fob provides simple, intuitive control of your shallow water anchor.
- Deploying the Anchor (Down): Press and hold the DOWN button to lower your Power-Pole anchor. Release the button when the anchor is fully deployed or at your desired depth.
- Retracting the Anchor (Up): Press and hold the UP button to raise your Power-Pole anchor. Release the button when the anchor is fully retracted.
- Auto Up/Down: For some CM2 systems, a quick press and release of the UP or DOWN button may initiate an automatic full deployment or retraction. Consult your Power-Pole anchor system's manual for specific auto-mode functionality.
- Range: The remote operates wirelessly. Maintain a clear line of sight to the Power-Pole system's receiver for optimal performance. Obstructions or distance may affect signal strength.
Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: When the remote's range decreases or it becomes unresponsive, it's likely time to replace the battery. The fob uses a CR2032 coin cell battery. Refer to the "Setup" section for replacement instructions.
- Cleaning: Clean the fob with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Waterproofing: While the fob is waterproof, ensure the casing is always securely closed after battery replacement to maintain its water resistance. Avoid prolonged submersion.
- Storage: Store the remote in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Lanyard Inspection: Periodically check the floating lanyard for wear and tear. Replace if damaged to prevent accidental loss.
